Pineapple, mango, and citrus from Nectaron, Rakau, and Riwaka hops deliver classic NZ hop vibrancy on a soft, pillowy 7% body. Balanced, lean, clean, refreshing. Highly recommended

473ml can. Pours a hazy copper with a medium, foamy, short lived, beige head that leaves soapy lace. Aroma of toasted bready malt, caramel and herbal hops. Sweet flavour of biscuity pale malt, caramel, toffee and herbal hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Easy drinking. Not bad.

473mL can, pours a cloudy dark red with a small beige head. Aroma has big bready malt, some herbaceous notes that seem odd, and light toffee. Flavour is reasonably true to style, with lots of English bready malt, toffee, and light caramel. Not the deepest malt character even for the style. It’s alright.

473 ml can. Pours a very dull mahogany with light head. Aromas of bittering hops and brewing day at the brewery, plus bready malts. Flavors of rye bread and non descript bitter hops. I guess it’s close to style and not offensive; just really boring.

Poured from 473mL can. Clear yellow gold with white head. Nice berry-like spruce with feint citrus and pine hops, light clean biscuit malt. A touch timid, could amp everything up a little, but decent.
