(bottle) medium amber, almost no head. Hop aroma of pine and citrus. Flavor is a lot of hops - pine, citrus, grass, but enough caramel malt to keep it from being too unbalanced

this is the beer that started it all for me, changed my life. It was my introduction to ’proper’ beer. Awesome malt backbone with huge hop flavour. what more could a man want?

Hazy orange pour good head frothy/good lacing Aroma is nice hoppy with malt.Spice fruit floral,mild sweet breadiness.Some metallic (aged bottle?) Tastey beer good malt taste smooth mild hop taste.Smooth very creamy,nice spice hop flavor,slight metallic.I think this may not be too fresh ive had this before.Its held up well and very tastey with a nice smooth refined body and hops,very quaffable and very tastey.

Light copper amber with a good long-lasting head and full lace. A terrific melding of caramel malt and floral hops. Both twirl around each other through the finish with just a touch of bitter lingering after the rest is gone. I didn’t know New Zealand had good beers. Easy drinking, a real keeper (except for the cost per bottle!).

Nice solid amber poor. Big fruity aroma, when tasted is bordering on almost to intense and over bearing for my taste. Very slight bitterness and a faint funny taste present as an after taste that wasn’t very tasty at all.

500ml bottle. Pours bright, clear amber with mountains of off-white head that leaves a little lace. The nose is dominated by musty hops that give a fair citrus impression, but fall short of being interesting in any real way. Far too light on the palate with upfront bitterness and an odd chalkiness. There’s a real sour note in there too. I was expecting a lot more from this brewery. Maybe the travel killed the beers.

clear amber like colour. aromas are more pleasant than the other beers i’ve tried from this brewery. has a hoppy/floral note and a malted backbone. it does has a sort of funk in the aroma as well. flavours are again salty. flat bitterness in the finish. not tasty.

Bouteille de 500 ml. Arômes typiques du houblon cascade, tout en résine et agrumes. On remarque bien un malt de caractère anglais. Robe cuivrée et limpide, peu de mousse et effervescence moyenne. En bouche, on retrouve un caractère de malt anglais bien développé, avec des notes de sucre d’orge et de caramel. La bière demeure malgré tout pas trop sucrée. Le houblon fruité et résineux est également bien présent et en équilibre avec le malt. Finale montrant une belle et longue amertume résineuse. Une pale ale américaine dans les règles de l’art.

on tap @Pomeroy’s. Forte amertume, on sent bien le houblon. A MAJ plus tard

Citrus aroma, thick head that stays around. Easy to drink with a nice citrussy, sweet flavour. If it was marketed at a lower price it would be an excellent session beer. Another solid beer from epic brewing

Bottle. Clear amber color, medium white head. Aroma of pineapple, grapefruit. Taste is bitter pine resin. Decent.
