473mL can, pours a clear blonde with a medium white head. Aroma has a very cohesive melange of brut yeast, tangy hops, and a touch of passionfruit. Flavour is bright, revealing tons of white wine-like, tangy hops upfront (yummy NZ hops), gentle champagne-like yeast, and a tiny hint of passionfruit. This is primarily a function of the NZ hops, accentuated by the brut yeast, and almost free of the passionfruit. Clean, bright and well-balanced. Excellent.

Slight haze, pale. Bubbly head, a bit oniony, a bit of turf, pretty big biscuity malt base, moderate bitterness. Not my favourite hop expression but decent construction.

On tap at The Magnet, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has an aggressive piney, sprucey hop expression for a pale ale, with tons of pine needles. Flavour has the pine needles, biscuity malt, and a tinge of herbal notes. Finishes bitter, piney and herbal. Something slightly not totally clean about this, but it's decent.

473 ml can. Pours amber with moderate head. Aromas of doughy malts, sweetened citrus, pear, and a bit of pine. Flavors of muddied tropical fruit, a bit of pithy orange, doughy malts and a bit of pine. OK though maltier than hoppier. Maybe showing age?

Poured from the tap. Cloudy blonde gold with small white head. Lighter bodied (3.8% shows), but some decent apricot notes, feint, but watery saison yeast, okay. The apricot really saves it.
