Aromas are dominated by a citrus rind hop, although some sweet malt, vanilla and floral notes show through.
Flavours are of a zesty, grassy hops with grapefruit and a lemon rind bitterness.
Finishes dry and zesty. Awesome! Kash (2), , New Zealand does not count | 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Dec 18, 2008 Loved this beer. Meet the brewer Luke at the Auckland Food Show. The beer tasted devine. The hops were amazing and its the closest beer to what I drink at home in Portland, OR. Luke you are a great brewer and I wish you every success in the future. Every Kiwi should try this beer. nutpea (15), , Scotland
