Description
Back in the 1980s Terry and Bev McCashin took on New Zealand’s brewing duopoly from a small Nelson factory using their own recipes. They gave people more than just something to drink…they gave us choice. And so began the craft beer revolution…

Bottle. Pours clear light amber with a small white head that dissipates with nice lacing. Aroma is spruce, pine, grain. Flavor its the same, kind of lagery actually, medium sweet with very light bitterness. As a hot summer day session beer this isn’t bad. As an IPA, meh.

Bottle from the Pangaea Bottle Shop. Pours hazy light golden amber with a transient white head. Aroma is roast caramel with some floral/citrus. Flavor is roast caramel with some sturdy citrus/grapefruit rind. It’s very pleasant. It’s very bitter. Fruity and floral. Quite a hop mix!

Bottle. Gold with an inch of white head. Aroma of hay, toast, honey, very rip gooseberries, mixed citrus zest. High bead, slightly creamy mouthfeel. Taste is sweet and fruity with berries and light bread, then ctirus and pepper. Bitter finish with some spices. A fatter Kölsch with Kiwi hops is I guess what they say you’ll get and you do. A little leaner would suit me better, but it’s pretty gluggable.

Moderately bitter finish with oranges and some tropical fruit notes. OK. Some flavours I don’t quite know what to make of.
