super good new one from these guys, not so hazy but a little unfiltered looking, incredibly fresh, bright, and easy drinking, with a very distinctive, make no mistake its from new zealand sort of hop profile, really appreciate the boldness, maybe even some phantasm or something, its that wine forward and pungent to me, wonderful. golden and just frosted, high white head, fills a pint glass in a real nice way. aroma here of white grapes and kiwi fruit and green melon and also pineapple and pineapple candy, mandarin orange, and green pear, springy and tight but blooming and interesting, and most of it comes through in the flavor, extremely dynamic and way lighter than a lot of these, not just in alcohol. the hops pop just insanely in the flavor, and for anyone who is sleeping on upslope, get hip to this, its fantastic. lemon curd and lemongrass and tangerine, dry as can be, some grain support in flavor but also bone dry, effervescent, and clean as they come on the ferment, like brilliantly refined. the hop profile rules here, wish i knew what was in it, super modern and well done. i dont know why i thought the tap handle called this out as a hazy, it might be that i was drunk, but im sure this is the right beer. really fantastic hop complexion, memorable even, and so light to drink, a must try for the southern hemisphere hop heads!

On draught at The Office Bar and Grill.
Pours a clear gold with a fine layer of foam.
Smells very piney, hints of tropical fruit, little melon.
Taste matches the smell with the pine dominating and that's what I prefer. Light melon and tropical fruit. Hoppy with a good level of bitterness.
Good mouthfeel.
I'll be drinking more of this often.
