Bottle at home. Pours a slightly hazy light amber small off-white head. Fruity aroma with lots of NZ-hops, grass, spices, diesel, grapefruit and orange peel. Fruity and grassy flavour with more grapefruit, orange peel, some pine and mowed grass in the aftertaste. A little dry. Has a slick mouth feel, medium body and a balanced bitterness. A fruity and nice APA.

330mL bottle, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out fresh piney hops with a touch of residual sweetness. Flavour coats the palate in super fresh potent piney hops, with just enough dry biscuity malt to back. A touch of residual sweetness from the hops. Extremely well-crafted hop bomb. Excellent.

500mL bottle, pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out biscuity malt and light citrusy and piney hops, seems a bit faded in the hops. Flavour is clean, with light pine and citrusy hops, with a wet biscuity malt backbone. Clean and well-balanced. Doesn't seem as fresh as possible, but it's quite good.

500mL bottle, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has loads of kiwi upfront, with light piney and citrus fruity hops. Flavour screams out tropical fruits, especially kiwi, maybe a little mango and cantaloupe, and pronounced citrus hops. Despite the fruitiness, it has very low residual sweetness. Excellent.

Not quite sure what this collaboration honours - possibly marble benchtops. Bottle. Bright gold with a fine white head that lasts very well. Aroma of mandarins and kumquats, a little lime, gooseberry, light bread and hay. Nice gently wafty hops, but the hint of quality malt underneath lifts it a fair bit for me. Just medium bodied, no unintegrated alcohol. Quite sweet with mandarins, lime and some honeydew melon over bready malt that’s not quite as rich as suggested by the aroma. I suppose others will like what I found a little too clean. Moderate bitterness with fruity flavours hanging around. Good stuff.

On tap at Beer DeLuxe Melbourne, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out crisp crackery malt and some grassiness. Flavour is crisp and punchy, with grassy hops and crisp crackery malt. Quite a flavourful pilsner, with lots of grassiness on the finish. Very nice.

500mL bottle, pours a dark orangey brown with a medium beige head. Aroma smells really yeasty and earthy, with earthy hops. Flavour is along the same lines, with a hugely earthy hop component and lots of dirty yeast. Doesn't seem fully developed or maybe I've got an older bottle (no discernible bottling date). Not bad, but not as good as the ratings suggest.

500mL bottle, pours a cloudy dark orange with a large white head. Nose is fairly yeasty, with lots of earthy and citrus hops. Flavour is along the same lines, with yeasty earthy hops upfront, along with citrus and biscuity malt. Quite fruity and strong. Very good.
