$15 NZD per pint on-draught @ Little Beer Quarter, Wellington, New Zealand.

Hopped with Citra & Mosaic. 7.7% ABV.

Resinous. Medium to full bodied. Big bready malts. Gumminess...possible wheat or spelt in the mash?

Not the hop profile I thought I was signing up for in a Mosaic & Citra hopped ale; lacks blueberry or overt citrus, somehow managing to double down on resin and oniony flavour (which I'd never expect or want from Citra or Mosaic).

The 7.7% ABV does make itself known to the obvious detriment of the beer's drinkability.

Not my favourite from McLeod's, and a bit of a waste of Citra and Mosaic hops in my opinion.
