440ml can. Murky golden, white head. Aroma of peach, grapefruit, light dank savoury note. Taste of grapefruit, peaches, pineapple, light herbal note, bitter finish. Medium bodied, quite spritzy carbonation, a little too fizzy for my liking. A solid IPA, my first from this new brewery.

Can ordered from Left Field Beer. Cloudy pale gold. Thick frothy foamy white head with pretty decent lacing. Aroma combines a porridge and sweet fruit core with a delicate vinous strea and also lime as promised. Herbal. Flavourwise there is an initial burst of stone fruit. This is soon followed by lime and vinous sourness. However the sweetness remains with added sugary porridge. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Described as a XPA but more of a Hazy NZ Pale crossbreed. I likes it, though.

Nose is bitter orange, grass, grapefruit, melon.
Taste comprises grapefruit, tangerine, light soapy notes, mandarin.
