Shunters Yard Stationmaster English IPA
Very excited to have found my notebook from my NZ trip without all the beers entered. Had this on draft at the Ruakura Campus Club with nate2g and Graig. Clear deep golden amber color, fluffy white head. Nice fruity aroma, citrus and summer fruit. Taste has lots of fruity esters and is nicely balanced. Very tasty.

Solid beer. Ripe fruit and floral hops on the nose with a lowish carbonation and honey and citrus, surprisingly warming also.

Tap at Catfish YB pop-up bar. Pours bright orange with a small white head. Nose is all about the stone fruits and floral hops. Nice zing of lemon in there. Taste is rather mild stone fruits and citrus with an aggressive bitterness on the finish which is pleasing. Makes it go down nice and easy. Solid stuff

Shunters Yard Midnight Special
Black, thin head to edge of glass. Faint aroma dark malts. Palate very thin. Flavours of dried fruit but shows same ferment issues as Pilsner. Needs to be cleaner, more body and some more dark malt charachter....

Shunters Yard Number 7 Pilsner
Murky golden. Aroma a bit soapy and mandarins. Sweet malt, a little worty and thin. Ok but needs a cleaner ferment and drier rather than the citrus fruity hops.....
