Can picked up at the brewery. Mostly clear straw colour. White foam doesn’t stick around. Nose has saline notes. Lime peel and flesh. Soft herb. Taste is dry and a tad salty with a flicker of wheaty sweetness. Drinks crisp and refreshing. Touch of lime juice on the finish.

Can picked up at the brewery. Fully hazy pale lemony gold. Slim super sticky white head. Looks the part. Definitely delivers on the hoppage. Ripe fleshy citrus and a lovely Nelson twang here. Bit of grapefruit and a bit of sappy pine for good measure. Taste is a little sweet to start with a good amount of zingy citrus bitterness. Drinks well overall. It has body but drinks under the 6.3. Moderate lingering bitter finish. If you’d parked your arse drinking this on tap at the brewery you’d do well to keep under half a gallon.

Can picked up at the brewery. Light haze on a straw gold. Solid white foam. Herbal fruity and fresh floral notes. Drinks easy with light sweetness and a touch of dry. Foamy (as promised) with a herbal finish. Nice.

Can picked up at the brewery. Hazed lemon gold. Thin but lasting white head. Nose is mineraly and light on the malts. Nice pop of zingy hop. Taste is semi sweet with some dryness and a moderate pithy bitterness. Chugs easy. Nice pow wow.

Cask at the brewery tap. Clear pale gold. Tight white foam. Nose has light buttery malts. Orange peel addition comes across like orange jelly. Don’t really know what chamomile would add but there’s some aromatics in here. Anyway. Drinks fine overall. Tasty enough golde, albeit slightly weird.

Can. Near clear pale yellowish gold beer, good white head. Airy palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Soft pale malts, a nice light soft sweetness. Rounded funk, not overly savoury. Tartish lemon streaked cooling pine. Touch of zest on the crisp finish. Nicely done, refreshing.
