Commercial Description:
Cask & Cold Filtered Bottle; Regular.
Typical of a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc wine, this wonderful South Pacific Ale has a great grassy nose with kiwi fruits in abundance. The wonderful fruity mouth gives way to a great bitter finish. 5.2%

A bright, deep golden yellow coloured beer with a thickish white head. A strong citrus fruit nose, lemon and grapefruit with a touch of floral hop. The taste is dry, with an overpowering grapefruit and lemon citrus flavour. There is floral hop and biscuity malt flavours in the background if you search hard enough for them! A bone dry finish. A poorer, over-citrused version of the mighty Jaipur. (Cask - The Fox & Hounds, Heacham, Norfolk).

Bottle at European Beerfestival Copenhagen 2008. Earthy herbal nose. Pale golden low head. Citrus and grass, earthy, great new zealand hops! Medium to light body mellow mouthfeel. Nice surprising ale - I really really want to try it it on cask now.

Yellow with a small white head. Aroma of grassy hops, some hay and grain notes. Dry with a nice and lingering grassy hop flavour and lots of bitterness.

Bottle &#64; Beer Exposed, September 2008.<br /> Pours a nice, golden-yellow with a small, frothy, film head. Aroma is nicely hoppy, good biscuity malts. Lovely, dry mouthfeel with a light carbonation. Flavour is good malty with an impressive hoppy character of fresh fruits and pine. Very drinkable.

Bottle at EBF. Clear yellow - white head. Grainy, fruity, hoppy, flowery, white bread. Weak and boring.
