Can. A mild to medium haze on this orange gold beer, good bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy smooth palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft pale malts, a soft creamy sweetness. Soft pine. I'm really surprised by the amount of skunk here, don't think its been that forward on any Nectaron hopped brews before. A mild savoury aspect tom the skunk. The expected Nectaron stone fruits arrive on the back end, especially Nectarine, albeit slightly ripe. Airy finish. Different. Did not expect such a green hop new hop vibe.

Can. A mildly hazy orange gold beer, good bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy smooth palate, decent fine minerally carbonation. Airy smooth pale malts, a light creamy sweetness, fairly forward but, avoids being overcooked. Soft cooling pine. Soft and reasonably juicy hop citrus fruits, slightly ripe. Touches of stone fruits and tropical fruits. Tasty enough and fairly drinkable. Really could do with some hop edge for me, a tad rounded and polite.

Can. A hazy orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, a very mild dryness, good fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a light and pleasant creamy sweetness. Hops bring smooth cooling pine and juicy broad spectrum fruits. The can description says pineapple and I get that, a slightly tinned pineapple vibe. Some Mosaic candy fruits. Citra fills in the gaps. A mildly crisp finish brings a mild hop spice. A tad sweet overall but pretty crushable.

Can. A hazy yellow gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, a good fine minerally crispness. Light pale malts, a light creamy sweetness. Hops bring cooling pine and an obvious Peacharine vibe, that slightly ripe candyish peach. Back end is Motueka lime and a little citrus. Mild savoury skunk and a little hop spice on the crisp finish. Tidy. Some more hop weight would be good for me but this is crisp and drinkable.

Near clear gold beer, small bubbly off white head. Light palate, a little dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin malts, a modest sweetness. The sharpness of the funk seems to be well offset by the very old Port Barrels, a touch of oak induced vanilla sweetness is enough to hold any acidity at bay. Bright crystallised fruits under the funk. Port? Yeah maybe a whisper of red berries if you are looking for it. If I was tasting this blind, I would never had guessed it was port BA. Light finish. A light smooth and very drinkable affair. My kinda sour.

Not a gusher but the head was doming out of the neck of the bottle. A mild haze on this orange gold beer, tidy small bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, smooth and mildly dry, decent superfine carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, a light sweetness. Plenty of funk, fairly soft and mildly savoury. Smooth crystallized fruits citrus on the back end, again quite soft. A light finish. Hides the abv well. A fairly simple affair but it's quite drinkable.

Just a very mild haze on this orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, a good fine minerally crispness. Light bodied but somewhat ripe pale malts. Similarly the Amarillo and Centennial brings a bruised orange flavour along with smooth cooling pine. A light and mildly dry finish. Hmmm. This is like a step back in time to old school Bishop Nick. Every beer I have had from them over the last few years has been crisp, clean and bright. This one is quite ripe.

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, a pretty decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Smooth airy palate, good fine minerally carbonation on the back end. Smooth pale malts, a pretty forward creamy sweetness.. Soft cooling pine hops. Light bright citrus and stone fruits, juicy with a mild tang. A touch of hop spice. Crisp cooling pine finish shows a touch of tropical fruits. A good crisp bright dipa, just a tad sweet from the pale malts, dial that back a coupla notches, well for my taste, woulda smashed it out the park. Good stuff anyway.

Can. A light haze on this gold beer, good bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy smooth palate, develops good fine minerally carbonation. Smooth light pale malts, a nice light creamy sweetness. Hops, not detailed by Cloudwater, brings soft pine and a pleasant orange-tangerine-mandarin - must be Citra surely? That and maybe Simcoe. For a brew called Double Dank, it's really not the hop skunk bomb I thought it might be. A clear but softish skunk runs throughout but never dominates the fruity character of the hops. Soft finish. Went down easy. Not breaking any new ground here but, a well rounded and pretty quaffable brew.

Can. Hazy yellowish gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, a mild dryness, a good fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a pleasant light creamy sweetness. Light pine and mild hop spice. Peacharine hops obvious, that light rounded and slightly ripe candyish peach. Mild Motueka lime on the back end. Crisp and mildly hop spicy finish. Easy drinking. Hops could be a punchier perhaps but, I enjoyed this.
