On tap at Bin 44, Auckland. Rather subdued when compared to the Boneface Hoptron I'd had immediately before, but nevertheless a pleasant APA with some citrus and a biscuity malt base.

500ml bottle, 2017 vintage. Pours dark brown with an off white head. Cinnamon, nutmeg, biscuit, chocolate, red fruit, dried fruit, bit of banana. Quite a light body doesn't suit it great. Nice.

Bottle. Now 7% ABV. Don't think it's NZ Cascade these days either. Amber with a puffy white head. Aroma of bread crust, floral and grapefruity hops. Some dried peach, mango. Rich rumbling malt with sticky bread crust; then the floral and slightly herbal hops begin to grip (the citrus is not as prominent) and lead to a firm bitter finish. I suppose this is old fashioned now - from the days before neutral malt IPAs, let alone hazy ones. It's great.
