330ml can. Poured a crystal clear copper colour with a short-lived frothy white head. The aroma is malt, resin, big woody hops. The flavour is moderate to strong bitter with a crisp, malt, woody resin hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Just as it says on the tin, this beer is all about the bittering hops.

(Can) Pours clear straw with tiny short-lived white head. Lovely aroma of passion fruit, pine with grapefruit hints. Light body, very nice soft fluffy carbonation. Nice taste, gentle slightly fruity start, some biscuity malt, and a pleasant long bitter finish. Very good.

33cl bottle in the Botanic Gardens, Wellington. A bright amber pour with a trace of white head; aroma of citrus and stone fruit; biscuity malt body with an earthy citrus bitterness giving a long finish. Just the thing to drink sitting in the gardens on a sunny afternoon.
