From a 440ml can on 19/9/2020. Pours a clear deep golden with a medium head. The aroma is dank, grassy, herbal and hoppy. Starts with sweet biscuit malt and citrus and tropical fruit. Finishes with a big tangy citrus hop bitterness, with lemon dominating proceedings. The mouthfeel is stick and syrupy, the carbonation softish. A bold, intense and enjoyable hop bomb with nice sweet bitter balance.

Can. Bright gold with a white head. Aroma is broodingly hoppy with dried mango, dope residue, feijoa, mandarin. Pretty light bodied. A little bread under the hops doesn't do anything other than support and the fat tropical notes of the aroma don't quite have enough breadth. Resinous and fairly bitter towards the end. But after a while the palate did open up a bit and the fruit flavours were more expressive.

Tall can from Countdown outside Christchurch airport, drank in Tekapo. Had alongside another Liberty DIPA, Hoptical Illusion. Aroma is very dank, with tropical pineapple and banana. Taste is huge bitter bite at the front, lemon peel, citrus juice, and sweet tropical fruit. Palate is a little rich, but with enough carbonation. Finish is boozy and lemon bitter. Very straightforward but well done. Would get again.
