Panda thanks to Cloin. A mild haze on this gold beer, very small and very short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth malts, a nice light creamy sweetness. Cooling pine hops overlay a nice hop fruity array. Citrus, stone fruits, mild tropical fruits. A hop spice nip on the semi dry finish.

A mild to medium haze on this gold beer, small and short lived pale cream colour head. Light smooth palate, mildly dry, good superfine minerally carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, a light bodied but effective creamy sweetness. Crisp cooling pine. A mild savoury skunk. Riwaka exotic barely nameable fruits are immediately obvious. Warhorses Citra and Galaxy fill in the background with a good broad spectrum hop fruity goodness. Nelson comes through on the back end with a light and slightly tart grape. Smooth finish leaves a long hop spicy and juicy hop fruit linger. Tres good.

Flavour is composed of dry mineral, chalk, nutty, earthy grains. Burnt grass, hint of Lychee, white grape. Palate is uber crisp, highish spritzy carbonation. Quite interesting.. Not bad. Decent enough.

Can. A mild to medium haze on this yellowish gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, smooth and imparting the right amount of sweetness for this brew. Hops bring a delightful array of crisp cooling pine, light bright yellow grapefruit, stone fruits, bright orange and mandarin. A hop spice nip for good measure. Juicy fruity crisp finish. A bright and breezy affair and absolutely crushable.
