There’s also a bit of malt, but just as a little platform for all the hops. Bit over medium sweet and medium bitter. Medium bodied. Very good, just so much grapefruit and sweet pine!

Bottle shared in Wanaka lake view campground. Black with dark beige head. Chocolate, red wine, thick sweet toffee malts, blackberries, light black currants too, bitter grassy hops, earthy, light soy sauce (the one with palm sugar), mocca. Quite sweet with nice balancing bitterness. Full bodied wit creamy feel. Quite nice, especially considering this costs the same as some random pale ale.

375 from Liquorland, not shared because the misses wated tea. Slight hazy orange/pink/brownish with short lasting fizzy head. Light funk, dank cellar, sweet cherries, a touch of wood glue, quite herbal, light lactic, dirty farmyard Brett, red currants, mint, lemon. Very sour, light sweet and very light bitter. Medium bodied with soft but sparkly carbonation. It’s not amazing, but it’s pretty damn well done for a ‘lambic’ made on the other side of the globe for from Pajottenland. It was also not crazy expensive actually.
