Can. Very clear amber with a fluffy cm of white head that never disappears. Aroma of pine, oranges, feijoa, sticky breadcrust. Fairly sweet with feijoa and buns. Citrus and pine build towards an off dry but fairly bitter end. Clean with some depth.

[On tap at a restaurant in New Plymouth.] A bright amber pour with a white head and heavy carbonation to start; orangey aroma; orangey taste with some resinous hops; and a bitter marmalade finish. Very drinkable.

440ml can. Pours a pale gold with a fast fading white head. Aroma is lager light; faint citrusy beer smell. Beer is similar; clean, mild malt with oh so polite hops, nothing to dank or bitter.
Fine, but just another lager really.

Can. Brown, off white head. Malty brown sugar aroma with some prunes and cleaning products. But then cleaner and less sweet than expect with a gradual impingement of spicy bitterness. Not bad at all.
