500mL bottle from Beer Cellar, NZ, via mulder1010.

Pale straw, smidgin of haze to it, with a sheet white head of moderate size that falls to a slightly raised ring.

Suitably crisp nose, showing cut grass, pear, stonefruit and honeyed elderflower. There's a pleasant grainy nuttiness that helps keep it rounded. Nice stuff.

Flavours emphasise spicy grass and grainy malts before transitioning into a very dry metallic bitterness which is harsh but not altogether unpleasant.

Light body, with jazzy carbonation contributing to the brusque dryness.

Satisfying, interesting and well conceived, but the dryness is a little intense to my tastes.
