Pours a champagne colour. Clear, with large bubbly white head. Doesn't stick around. Looks OK.
NZ hops on the nose. Touch of cereal grain but mostly passionfruit, apple, touch of peak. Smells OK too.
Taste is fruity and largely sweet. Cereal grain with a touch of vanilla, then apple/pear hop notes come through dominating but still fairly light in character towards the back. Pretty bland overall, and a little empty for an imperial pils.
OK, has a big malty-sweet hit though which needn't be there. I'm not sure I'm much a fan of the style and this is not a real exception.

Sampled on-tap at GABS 2014 in Melbourne. Brewed with Motueka, Nelson Sauvin and Pacifica hops according to the guide.
Pours a pale golden colour with great clarity to the body. Weight is fairly light, which is okay for the style. Head is fine and pure white leaving some faint, streaky lace. Overall, it looks about right for the style.
Solid entry on the aroma. Stonefruit sweetness along with a bit of herbal sharpness to crisp it all up. This is atop a base aroma which is very clear and clean that allows the hops to sing. Really quite nice.
Light entry on the palate, perhaps a touch of acid from some of the hops. This leads to a nice neutral malt character that manages to stay fairly unobtrusive even as it lends a bit more body than you'd get from a regular pils. Clean, solid hop bitterness comes through towards the back, matched by a nice chewy malt sweetness that lingers in the finish. Feel is fairly rich, which works nicely.
This is a really very drinkable brew. I'd absolutely crank through a couple of these at the pub—and I'd be very happy to drink it again sometime.
