A fuller bodied ipa. Very citrusy on the nose with a hop bitters flavor thats well balanced. Quite heavy but goes down quite deliciously if I do say so myself. I’d prefer a lighter medium bodied IPA, but this one does just well enough.

Hazy Ruby, really thick creamy head that stays long and leaves nice lacing. Strong malty aroma is earthy with bread, dry. Thick flavor has lots sticky malting, bread, caramel, not much hoppiness, thin body and feel, low carbonation, dry and bitter, long mslty finish. Tasty with lots malting.

I was expecting this beer to still taste like a Californian IPA but interestingly it reminds more of some of the better Kiwi breweries. Nice long bitter finish - delicious.

Taste of pine and grapefruit but it's missing that punch of flavor. Good but not as good as their Northern Hemi.

Hazy brown-amber colour with lacey medium off white head. Aroma is of oranges and pine, with some sweet toffee coming through. The body is medium and oily. Impressive taste. The strong sweetness and bitterness balances out well and leaves a satisfying finish.

Hana @ St. Michael. Kaatuu lasiin meripihkan värisenä ja hieman sameana, niukka vaahto pysyy kauniisti oluen pinnalla koko lasin ajan. Haju on ennen kaikkea makea: karamellia ja keksiä löytyy. Alla on pihkaa ja hedelmistä greippiä. Makeus kuitenkin pääosassa. Maku on heti alkuun karamellisen makea, mutta seuraavaksi työntyy vahva vihanneksen maku suuhun. Loppumakuna tulee vielä pihkaista katkeruutta ja hivenen tuhkaa. Loppua kohti maku tasoittuu, saattaa olla, että tämä tarjoiltiin liian kylmänä. Suutuntuma on tasaisen katkera, keskitäyteläinen ja melko miellyttävä. Ihan mukiinmenevä IPA, jossa vihanneksisuus jäi vaivaamaan. Lämmetessä joko suu tottui tai maku tasottui, ei silti klassikoiden joukkoon.

Bottle. Earthy orange peel aroma. Hazy golden yellow with large fluffy white head. Earthy orange peel and sweet toffee malt flavor. Nice body. Don’t know what it is about NZ hops, but I really enjoy them.
