12oz bottle I brought home from Christchurch, pours a murky, dark gold with some clumpy, white head. Nose has pune, grapefruit, pith. The kiwi is very under ripe. Flavor has the citrus rind and raw, under ripe kiwi. Smooth enough finish, perhaps a touch stale.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of kiwi, citrus fruits, hops, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of kiwi, hops, citrus fruits, and malt, leading to a dry finish.

On tap at the brewery. Pours brown red. Raspberry, toast, pepper, cinnamon, rum, cherry, prune, spiced rum. Medium body. Like a classy well bodied rum and coke, in a good way.

On tap at the brewery. Pours brown orange. Smoke, chipotle, strong smokey spice, capsicum, dark chocolate bitterness, big chilli flavour with a fair heat. Medium body. Really does have that chipotle taste, and the chilli is decently balanced. An oddity, but a very fun one.

On tap at the brewery. Pours gold. Orange zest, strong zesty otange, marmalade, touch of bubblegum, bit of a spicy peppery finish. Light spritzy body. Delicious, such a zesty effervescence to it.
