Can. Just a mild haze on this yellowish gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Soft pale malts, pretty sweet, a sugary creamy sweetness, overcooked in my book. Mild grain doesn't help. Soft cooling pine. Sweetish citrus. Light smooth finish. Not the best from the normally reliable Basqueland. Sweet and grainy and the hops don't have enough welly to hide it.

Can. Near clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head that doesn't last. Light palate, a mild dryness, good fine minerally carbonation. Light malts, fairly sweet. Cooling pine. Fairly sweet citrus hop fruits. Some floral citrus. Light finish. Too sweet and a tad bland. For me, a fairly big fail for such a solid brewer.

Can. Hazy yellowish gold beer, small and short lived pale cream colour head. A light palate all told, a mild dryness, good fine minerally carbonation. Smooth pale malts, a forward creamy sweetness, edging towards too much but, just keeping on the right side of the line. Crisp pine. A slightly savoury aspect that helps keep the malt sweetness in check. Fairly bright citrus hops, some hop spice bite on the end. Impressively drinkable for a 12% brew. Less sweet would be even more impressive.

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, a decent bubbly pale cream colour head but it doesn't last. Light palate, a very mild dryness, good fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a fair creamy sweetness, not overdone but not shy fer sure. The hops are bring crisp cooling pine and juicy stone fruits and tropical fruits. Bright citrus but, underneath everything else. A little hop spice nip on the fairly crisp finish. Pretty quaffable but, I didn't enjoy this as much as any of the single hop affairs.

Can. Just a very mild haze on this gold beer, a small and short lived pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, a good fine minerally crisp snap. Light pale malts, a little creamy sweetness and some obvious grain. Hops bring cooling pine and slightly ripe citrus, a little citrus peel. Floral and sweeter citrus on the back end. Crisp finish. Not doing much for me.

Can. Hazy yellowish gold beer, a decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, a very mild dryness, decent fine minerally carbonation. Soft pale malts, a forward creamy sweetness. Hops bring soft pine and sweetish hop fruit smorgasbord that is hard to pull apart. Some berry notes amid the soft stone fruits, tropical fruits and light citrus. Light finish. Pretty fruity dipa but, I found it a tad sweet overall.

Can. A mild to medium haze on this gold beer, small and short lived pale cream colour head. Light palate, smooth start, developing decent fine minerally carbonation on the back end. Smooth light malt base, a light creamy sweetness. The NZH109 hops deliver soft passion fruit and a kind creamy melon. Light bright citrus underneath. Kinda tropical punch on the finish. Cooling pine throughout and a little hop spice on the end. Nice hop, nice dipa.

Can. Hazy yellowish gold beer, small and short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, a little dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a thin but forward creamy sweetness. Crisp cooling pine. A mild hop spice nip and a mild skunky note. Fairly bright mandarin and tangerine, a little bit sweet but massively tempered by the pine, skunk, hop spice and, mild peel bitterness. Crisp and drinkable and with a light but refreshing touch of bitterness.

Can. Hazy gold beer, small and short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, a very mild dryness, good fine minerally carbonation. Smooth light pale malts, a nice light creamy sweetness. The hops, for me, are nicely dominated by Nectaron, slightly tangy but juicy and intense stone fruits. Nelson provides a good white wine brightness that goes with stone fruits like, well use your imagination of great couplings! Motueka really a bit part player here, mild key lime on the back end. I think it's absence would be slippery more noticeable than its presence. Light crispy finish brings a mild hop spice and shows rounded skunk. There is a light layer of cooling pine, because of course there is. Super duper DIPA.

Can. A light haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, brief smooth start, good fine minerally carbonation quickly takes over. Smooth pale malts, a light but foward creamy sweetness. Alora hops in a dipa - yaaay. Crisp cooling pine into a soft Earl Grey Bergamot. The yuzu vibe is a modest accompaniment. Light smooth finish brings a hop spice nip. Good effort. Personally, I think this would have been top drawer with a less sweet malt profile but, that is a minor nit pick.
