Had on tap at the brewery and it was cloudy gold color with a nice 1-2 finger head that faded slowly and left really nice lacing coating the glass. Overall it smelled zesty, full of citrus and tropical fruit. Tasted dank and really fresh with tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, orange juice, pineapple, honeydew melon, hints of spices like coriander, faint biscuit and mild malty sweetness like a buttered biscuit. Smooth mouthfeel, mild carbonation and hides the ABV perfectly, this was a definite session beer that I could drink all night.

Bright, thick orange haze. Nose is grapefruit rind and grassy dankness. Taste is all kinds of honeydew, aloe, grass, pineapple, grapefruit, and white grape. Thick mouthfeel, especially for the abv. Gentle lingering bitterness. Awesome.

Opaquely dull Crayola/Simpsons yellow with a level white foam of moderate height that leaves defined layers of fuzzy lacing after each sip.
The introductory hint of white wine up front immediately turns to pungent dankness but then recedes to peach and Smarties. After a while the peppery NZ love crops ups.
Really complex hop blend here.
