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!

(On tap) Clear dark amber with good white head. Nice aroma - fruity and toffee. Medium body with good carbonation- mouthfilling and bright. Pleasant fruity start, toffee develops and then a nice bitterness. Very drinkable. And I saw a genuine mischievous kea today nearby at the summit of Ben Lomond

(On tap) Clear golden yellow small white head. Nice pine and citrus aroma. Great palate - light with plenty of fine soft carbonation. Pale biscuit malt with tangy fruity notes at start on nice, steadily building hoppiness. Good pale ale.

On tap at Beervana. Pours orange. Farmyard, lemon, plum, cherry. Unusual blend of saison yeast character and pinot noir, but very tasty too.

On tap. Pours very pale. Straw, peach, syrupy sweetness, some acidity, something a bit vegetal near the end. Not bad.
