3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20Strong fruity hop aroma on the really fresh bottles with a little caramel malt, this translates strongly in the taste which also has a lovely hint of zesty orange with a subtle malt backing. On older bottles the malt is more forward and really quite satisfying, i find the NZ hops kinda funky at times (especially on the older bottles) but it’s definitely enjoyable and makes for a different kind of pale experience. taste lingers on for a good amount of time. Really good beer that isnt afraid to be different.

pale amber color. Huge grapefruit and pine nose. Light body and moderate aggressive bitterness.

Bottle. Wasn’t sure if a hybrid pale ale would be any good, but they managed to pull this one off. Lively but not over done aromas of hops and citrus. Quite sweet palate of caramel, malt and fruit. Went down well with my burger.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
A bit overcarbonated. Bottle has been warm for a few months.
White, thick foam, stays well and tiny bubbles, lasts for several minutes.
Clear, yet not totally see-through.
Aroma is very fruity, a lot of melon, mango, passion. Not very citrusy and spicy. Overall aroma is mellow, soft, warm summer day in the garden.
Hops are very straightforward, a lot of sweet fruit at first and then a subtle transformation into a quite weak bitter. Slight overcarbonation kills most of the malt flavours. Not very pretentious, perfect for a warm day and quenching thirst.
Overall impression is good.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Fresh, crisp, hoppy bouquet aroma.
Solid carbonation, slightly oily.
Taste is strong and is of fresh hops, but is smooth and not too bitey. Flavour is great and is a very refreshing beer.

Wonderful example of a pale ale. Pronounced malt character, biscuity like golden promise perhaps. Nice subtle but fresh and distinguished hop profile with nz motueka and pacifica. How much is a slab???

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
pours a hazy copper color with a decent head that fades to some lacing. Aroma of citrus, roasted malt and mild caramel sweetness. Has a mild bitterness and a clean finish. Medium body smooth with an interseting character and a nicely balanced. Enjoyable beer, worth checking out.

Bottle. Pours golden with disappearing white head. Aroma is a lil bland. Taste isn't much better slight citrus backing and quite spritzy. Average beer at best
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Amber with thin but dense off white head. Fruity, hoppy, (peachy?) aroma. Citrus and peppery hit at the start, a bit of caramel, not overly bitter but a good finish.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours amber with a large head.
Nose shows grapefruit, soft peach and passion fruit alongwith very faint clean malt.
Some fruit hops as flavours too, along with some honey.
Carbonation could be a bit higher.
Pretty easy-drinking stuff.
