PET growler. Deep amber with a light beige head. Aroma of grapefruit, herbal lemons, toffee, passionfruit. Sweet sticky breadcrusts, a melange of citrus flavours, light tropical and spice touches. Surprisingly light bodied, a bit thin even. Finish leans just nicely towards dry. Nice, understated, nicely balanced.

A surprisingly understated beer considering it’s a 6% red ale. There is some of that classic red malt on the nose together with a little hops and a dusty scent. In the mouth there is very soft grapefruit, honey, nougat and a sherbet tingle on the tongue. A pleasant beer but not a challenging one. 750ml bottle from Tru Bru.

Clear golden with a white head. Aroma is grainy, grassy, light earth. Crisp hops are the defining factor of this one. It has a nice soft grain profile that is cleaned up nicely with the crispy hops. Solid pils.

Bottle from Brothers Beer, Auckland, August 2014. Dark orange with a white head. A lot of hops both in the aroma and taste, also resin, pineapple, grapefruit and some mango. The finish was nicely bitter. A tasty one.
