440ml can. Murky, yellow-ish, golden colour with average to huge, dense, frothy to creamy, slowly osteoporosing, moderately lacing, white head. Fruity, slightly dank, grassy and slightly citrusy fruity, hoppy aroma, oaty and wheaty malty background, some peach, hints of lime peel, yeasty spicy overtones with a touch of white pepper, whiffs of calamansi. Taste is moderately bitter and tart-ish, citrusy fruity hoppy, slightly yeasty spicy and wheaty, slightly oaty malty with low residual sweetness, notes of lemon, lemon peel, some bitter orange, lime peel, white pepper, hints of peach, a touch of calamansi.
Creamy-oily texture, smooth and soft, slightly greasy, simultaneously slightly dry and minimally astringent palate, medium, soft carbonation.
Well crafted, quite peppery spicy yeasty, a tad disharmonious and unbalanced, cumbrous, not really quaffable - still OK.

Can. A hazy slightly yellowish gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Airy smooth palate, decent fine carbonation on the back end. Soft pale malts, a soft creamy sweetness. Smooth cooling pine. Good Motueka key lime, a little hop spice. Pretty good Peacharine peach and nectarine on the back end, along with a little natural tang. Airy finish. Nice one. Motueka and Peacharine! I'd take that anytime over bleeding Citra and Mosaic.

440ml can. Hazy, yellow-ish, golden colour with average to huge, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Citrusy fruity and minimally piney, floral and herbal-grassy, hoppy aroma, oaty and wheaty malty background, notes of lemon, hints of grapefruit, whiffs of petals. Taste is citrusy fruity and minimally floral, mildly bitter hoppy, oaty and slightly wheaty malty basis with low residual sweetness, notes of lemon, some grapefruit, grapefruit peel, a touch of petals, some zesty and minimally floral bitterness.
Creamy and minimally oily texture, smooth and soft, minimally greasy, simultaneously slightly dry palate, very fine, dense, mildly prickly carbonation.
Well crafted, intensely hoppy, minimally disharmonious due to the floral bitterness - pretty good overall.

Bottle from Left Field Beer, shared at CBJ Tasting.. Aroma is sweet with a light edge. Flavourwise it's more interesting.. smooth and bitter with a boozy edge. Medium bodied. Oily. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish.

Bottleshare at CBJ. Thanks to Mark. Pretty much an opaque dark brown beer, a few tan bubbles. Smooth palate, a little dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth dark malts, fairly rich dark chocolate. Chocolate cake and fruit cake. Some boozey spice on the close. Alright!

Very sweet, lightly meaty, boozy, some charred marshmallows, little chocolate. Not bad, if a bit basic.

Can. A light haze on this paleish yellow gold beer, small pale cream colour head that doesn't last. A light and semi dry palate, decent fine minerally carbonation. Thin bodied pale malts, a pretty thin creamy sweetness. Light pine. Reasonable Motueka key lime. Soft pine on the airy and semi dry finish. Not Factory's finest, lacking pizzazz.
