(On tap) Clear amber with tiny white head. Fruity aroma with caramel notes. Medium body with fine light carbonation. Like the aroma, fruity and caramel. Some nice bitterness. Very drinkable.

Draft. A golden beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of hops, straw, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of hops, straw, and malt, leading to a bitter finish.

On tap at Brew, Rotorua. Still amber beer with a thin white head. Faint perfume and grain aroma. Nice lacing. Slight zing, light body. A little dry grainy bitterness then the Musk Sticks return. Just a little bit too sweet and aromatic for a Pils.

Pint on tap at Brew, Rotorua. Golden amber beer with a thin white head. Light fruity nose, a few bubbles. Good lacing. Slight sparkle, early metallic bitterness. Caramel and herbal earth in the finish. Possibly too interesting for a session beer.

Okay beige foam and clear brown body, strong styrofoamy coffee on the nose. Flavour is soft coffee with vegetably hops and some creamy sweetness. Reasonably full on the mouth. Not bad but everything could be fuller and more rounded.

On tap at Brew Rotorua. Pours rubescent dark brown. Toast, chocolate, touch of smoke, little coconut, cocoa powder, chocolate cereal. Good body. Quite a dry take on the style but not necessarily a bad thing.

On tap at the Craft Beer Pub, Rotorua. A pale amber pour with a thin white head; some grapefruit zest in the aroma; and a fruity grapefruit taste balanced with sweet biscuity malts and some citrus hops. A decent IPA, but overshadowed by the "Land of Lakes" which seems to offer much more flavour at a lower ABV.

On tap at the Craft Beer Pub, Rotorua. A pale amber pour with a thin white head; piney aroma; some oily resinous hops and a biscuity body; then a lasting bitter finish. A solid session IPA.
