$6 NZD per 500ml draught pour @ Dunedin Social Club, Dunedin, New Zealand.
Thin yet coating. Shallow hopwise, lacking much pungency to the floral hop flavour. Malty, hitting on 2-row and caramalt.
Drinkable for its price and what it is, but not what one wants in an IPA. Not hoppy enough by any stretch; I've had English pale ales that were more hop-emphatic.
C- / BELOW AVERAGE

Pours brown and clear. Nicely balanced and carbonated feel. It tastes more malty than big IPA flavors I expected, but nonetheless it's very drinkable.
