Pale very slightly less than clear straw colour with 1 finger white head. Aroma sweet floral malt, doughy, cracker, hint of sweet corn.
Taste starts with the malty bready sweetness, bit of honey and citrus note, but then crisp hoppy bitterness comes in at end.
Medium mouthfeel with moderate carbonation and a bit of creaminess at the finish. Very enjoyable.

330ml bottle - day 24 of the 2018 Craft Beer Advent Calendar, a collaboration with Australia's Bridge Road Brewers, using both NZ and Aussie hops.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with four flabby fingers of puffy, rocky, and bubbly bone-white head, which leaves some splendid layered frilly lace around the glass as it lazily sinks out of sight.
It smells of gritty and crackery cereal malt, muddled exotic citrus flesh, some stoney flintiness, and leafy, herbal, and grassy green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, acrid orange and lemon citrus rind, some damp minerality, and more leafy, floral, and grassy verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is standard in its palate-satisfying frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and mostly smooth, with perhaps a touch of hop intransigence taking things down a notch or so here. It finishes off-dry, the malt and frooty notes exhibiting some lingering gusto.
Overall - this comes across as a nice and hoppy lager, and quite flavourful. Not to mention the well-integrated extra 2 points of the ol' wowee sauce, and we have a pleasant bonding of two antipodean (or colonial, as they put it in the label blurb) brewing nations.
