Yields a golden color with a froth, white head.

Has aromas of blueberries, watermelon, dried oranges, wet grass and a note of lime pulp. Toffee malts add a flowery sweetness to the prominent hops, creating a hoppy, sweet nose.

Has a supersoft, light mouthfeel, with a fitting carbonation among hop entangled toffee malts.

Tastes of lime zest, sweet blueberries and crackery malts. Has an aqueous mid palate with sweeter turning toffee malts and a late orange and lime defined hop dryness.

Very nice, refreshing and light. Relying more heavily on the malts than expected with an effective dry coating in the finish.

Wonderful gooseberry, citrus and pine flavours. This doesn't taste unbalanced at all. A perfect beer for warmer days. Its rare to get an ANZ beer taste that much American yet here even doing it better than across the pacific.
I rarely get gooseberry in beers and will buy more of this one. If you like tower 10 or hop hunters ipa this will be your stuff!

Pale yellow pour. While head. Passionfruit and grapefruit aromas, light bready malts. Hop forward beer. Light bodied. Could drink a few of these very sessionable.

Pours pale amber with a large white head.
Nose shows honey, floral and grassy hops, cereal grains. Quite vibrant.
Very similar flavours with more sweet honeya and cerali-like malt before some floral hops enter followed by an assertive bitterness.
Carbonation seems a bit full on.
