Panda thanks to Cloin. Murky sagey avocado green beer, small pale green head. Okay then! Airy smooth palate, soft and slightly viscous, decent fine carbonation. Soft malts, a nice creamy sweetness that integrates with the abundant coconut cream nicely. Sharpish but juicy lemon with an apple twist. A very light candy fruit overlay. Light tart lemony finish. One of the better Azvex fruity sours I can recall - balances the sweet and sour nicely and, it's slightly viscous instead of lumpen mess!

Panda thanks to Cloin. Just a very light haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth softish palate, reasonable fine carbonation emerging. Ripe grainy cereal malts. Soft pine and ripe rounded citrus. Smooth finish. Managed to taste ripe and raw at the same time. Much work to be done here.

Panda thanks to Cloin. A mild to medium haze on this orange gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy smooth palate, reasonable fine carbonation on the back end. Soft pale malts, a slightly ripe creamy sweetness. Hops bring soft pine into rich slightly ripe and slightly dank hop fruits, juicy ripe citrus and stone fruits and a touch of tropical fruits on the slightly hop spicy finish. Nice, for me, needed some brighter hop element to balance things out.

Panda thanks to Cloin. A mild to medium haze on this orange gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy smooth palate, pretty modest fine carbonation. Airy smooth pale malts, a forward creamy sweetness. Light smooth pine into reasonably bright and slightly tangy stone fruits. Hop spice starting to bite on the back end. Slightly sweet for me but satisfyingly hop forward. Candyish tropical fruits at the very last.

Panda thanks to Cloin. A mild to medium haze on this orange gold beer, a decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation on the back end. Light smooth pale malts, a forward creamy sweetness, trace of grain. Light smooth pine. Soft and slightly wishy-washy hop fruits but that said, there is a decent hop spice nip on the back end. Light finish. Other Half are not the force they were imho, or near everyone else has caught up. OT long since stopped being a must buy for me and, brews like this underline my thinking.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Hazy orange gold beer, small and short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, smooth, decent fine carbonation. A fairly forward creamy sweetness, getting slightly condensed milk. Hops bring bright juicy stone fruits and some lesser Riwaka exotics. Escalating hop spice that is flirting with burny on the close. Entertaining but, for me, the malt base needs a fair old tweak.

Panda thanks to Cloin. A light haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head that doesn't last. Light pale malts, smooth, a light creamy sweetness. Soft cooling pine with a soft and savoury skunk. Soft but rich and juicy hop fruits, stone fruits and a little Nelson grapey tang. Fair hop spice bite on the otherwise soft finish. Nicely done. Brings the fruity and filthy aspects of hops in good balance.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Hazy orange gold beer, small and short lived pale cream colour head. Smooth airy palate, a very mild dryness, decent fine carbonation on the back end. Soft pale malts, a pleasant creamy sweetness. Hops bring a delightful soft pine with mildly savoury rounded citrus with a lesser serving of the nectarine and peach. Hop spice nibble on the light finish. Yeah, could drink a lot of this!

Panda thanks to Cloin. Hazy orange gold beer, small and vanishingly short lived pale cream colour head. Light palate, smooth, reasonable fine minerally carbonation very late in the day. Light smooth pale malts, a nicely judged level of sweetness. Hops bring smooth cooling pine. Juicy piney and fairly bright hop fruits, a very pleasant fruity cocktail that runs from rounded citrus to tropical fruits. Hop spice nibble on the end. Smooth and inherently right for me. Don't think I have had a better Dos Kiwis brew.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Hazy orange gold beer, small pale cream colour head that doesn't last. Smooth palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a forward creamy sweetness that works well enough here. Smooth cooling pine into resinous and very slightly ripe rich hop fruits. Rakau exotics, trace of lime, a soft but rich smorgasbord of tightly bound hop fruits. Light and very soft skunk runs underneath and, a hop spice starting to take hold on the finish. Nicely rich.
