Tried on tap at the Quarrymans Hotel.
Pours a pale gold, some fizzy bubbles. Head is white and thin, small dense bubbles. Nice.
Smells a little fruity. Touch of apple, some pine but not a huge nelson sauvin character. Light ale esters and not a huge amount of hops.
Taste is more sauviny. Passionfruit tang with slight citric astringency. Gets some dry yeasty notes and hop acid on the back. Bitter, quite tangy, not hugely big but has that classic NZ hop pull on the back. Not bad.
A bit of carbonation, but yeah thin and lagery. Mostly.
OK drinking, but a bit of hop acidity and not big flavour synergy.

Tried on-tap at the Quarrymans in Pyrmont during Sydney Craft Beer Week, as part of their Bacchus takeover.
Pours an extremely pale yellow, crystal clear in the body. Weight is very light, and forms a solid film of white for a head. Lace forms in decent sheeting runs. Stacks of streaming carbonation. Looks great for what it is.
Clean enough on the nose, with a bit of cat-pee Sauvin sharpness. Slight grassiness comes through and some grainy pils malt. Hint of sweatiness as well. It's okay, but they seem to have swept up all of the unpleasant parts of the Nelson Sauvin with the good parts.
Light and clean entry on the palate, again with a slightly herbal grassy tone. Bit of NS bite on the mid-palate, but again it's fairly light. Clean on the finish, which is pleasant enough, but also makes it a bit dull. When I had it the first time I had yeastiness: so dull is certainly preferable.
Feel is clean and watery, with a slight tingle.
Yeah, it's very clean and really quite drinkable. I've had better Nelson Sauvin-heavy pilsners though. This is good enough, but doesn't walk the fine line quite well enough.
