On tap at Galbraith's. Pours deep clear orange brown. Biscuit, orange, peppery, nectarine, a slight toffee presence, pine, touch of red fruit. Medium body. Pretty tasty, the red aspect helps give it a bit more flavour than the average brut IPA.

On tap at Brothers Beer CWD. Pours bright hazy orange yellow. Mango, orange juice, soft orange peel, pineapple, touch of sweet grassiness, slight bitterness in the finish. Good soft body. Good. Really good. McLeod's definitely have more competition for the NZ hazy crown than when they started this series, but they're still top dog.

On tap at Vultures Lane. Pours gold. Peach, lime, dry, really dry, touch of nectarine, floral, bit of spice. Dry enough it's a touch harsh. Not for me.

On tap at Galbraith's. Pours bright hazy yellow. Coriander, overwhelmingly coriander nose, orange, bread, very witbier yeasty, bit of passionfruit, lemon juice. Nice and refreshing. Big on everything, with a lot more flavour than the average wit if not the expected subtlety.

On tap and handpull at Galbraith's, side by side comparison. Pours murky yellow. Cask notes: Peach, orange peel, bitter grapefruit pith, toffee, lemon, touch of lavender, touch of sweetness. Glorious body. Keg notes: lemon, floral, very zesty, bitter grapefruit pith. Good body. Surprisingly great on cask, perhaps lacks a little of the pop but more than makes up for it with a perfect soft palate and balance.
