Undated can drunk 11/12/24. Clear, light blonde with a bit of brass. Large, frothy, white head, good retention. Matchstick from Riwaka is nice and minerally. Lemon zest, nectarine, kiwi, all sorts of complex stone and tropical fruits, really. Honey-like malts balance gently. Soft and malty in the mouth with a bit of bread and biscuit matching the soft, succulent honey. White grape, white peach, tons more stone fruit and zesty tropical fruit. The carbonation does suffer a bit from being both languid and seemingly forced. But the hops are wonderfully done with absolutely no punch. Could use a bit more bitterness and crisp lager character on the finish, though.

Can from The Beer Cave. Hazy deep golden body with a thick off-white head. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of rhubarb, lime and lemon sponge. Flavour of rhubarb, salted lemon and sparking water. Medium body with a frothy mouthfeel. Light fizz. Delicate and zingy.

Aromas are crackers, malt, floral and spice. Flavors are similar to nose, excellent balance between bitter, sweet and crisp carbonation. Bittersweet finish. Refreshing and satisfying. True to style. Wish I had more.

Junction Road store. Aromas are traditional pilsner with mild citrus and MJ. Flavors are similar to nose, good balance between bitter, sweet and slightly soft carbonation. Decent body but I wish the carbonation was a touch more crisp. Still, very drinkable beer.

0.75l bottle. Hazy golden body with a huge white head. Aroma and taste of pine needles, sugar syrup, hay, lemon zest, lemon grass, soap, barnyard notes and sichuan pepper. It has a very nice hop bitterness to it. Very nice.
