Revival draught, 8/15/25.
Heavily hazy, lightly milky, bronze-maize-golden. Small, white head steadily to ring.
Soft and juicy with excellent spice and mineral. Balanced by deep, honey-like malts. No resin or alcohol noted. Tropical fruit, white wine and low acidity.
Big burst of orange juice with mango and lots of spice on the end. Soft and supple malts with good attenuation. Clean, clear flavors but the nose seemed to have promised more complexity than I'm getting. Really just getting lots of Citra, which, to be fair, is done well. Solid all-around. And there is SOME NZ hop character, just not a ton. But I guess that's unsurprising for Waimea which is more of a bittering hop.

Dark brown. Pours flat, no head. The aroma is big on the vanilla, with a little marshmallow accent. On the palate, it goes in a sticky, syrupy direction but without the sort of roast you'd expect from the style. Good and sweet, though, just wish there was a bit more roast.

Pours jet black with a tiny dirty tan head that fades. Chocolate, vanilla, marshmallow, coconut , fudge brownie. Really well balanced and not too sweet. Excellent
