On tap at the brewery. Clear golden with medium white head. Malty, grainy, some grassy notes, bready. Sweetish with tad too much carbonation for my taste.

Tap at Volstead. Bit hazy golden with creamy slightly off white head. Sweet white wine, juniper, lots of herbs, sweet grains, sugary, thyme, rosemary, cinnamon, soft tart white grapes too, light medicinal. Over medium sweet, light bitter and tart. Over medium bodied. Lots of wine and herbs, quite different but pretty nice.

Tap at Smiths Queenstown. Bit hazy golden with off white head. Peach indeed, light sweet white wine, some spices indeed but not overpowering, I wouldn’t really get juniper as such, just light spicy berries and leaves. Sweet malts, light yoghurt, soft tart gooseberries, cinnamon. Medium sweet, light sour and bitter. Over medium bodied. Quite unique and interesting and also good, a nice combination!
