The Weka isn't a bird that will ever make big trips given it's flightless. Slightly deeper golden coloured with a steady hoppy pale ale aroma and taste at sessionable levels. A little bit of golden style in here too.

6/8/2025. Keg at GBBF 2025. Citrus, pomelo, husky fruit aroma. Quite sweet with moderate bitterness. Moderate body and a very prickly carbonation. Okay but too fizzy even for keg.

From tap at The Bow Bar, Edinburgh. Roasty with liquorice, roasted malt, some dark chocolate, alcohol, more liquorice, some coffee. Medium sweet, mild bitter. Nice, heavy, a bit too liquorice-forward for my taste.

Old rating - A 500ml bottle from Morrison's in East Kilbride. Brought home to Jersey by my wife. It pours dark amber with a white foamy head. Aromas & tastes of tropical fruits, citrus & hints of pine. Medium body & bitterness in the finish. Better than average blonde ale.
