Common descriptors are
British Maris Otter, amber and cystal malts provide a luscious toffeeish base, while a warm-fermenting London ale yeast rewards my ESB with orange marmalade-like esters. All very English so far then, but a trio of Nelson-grown hops with their zingy tropical fruit and citrus top notes give the beer an unmistakeable Kiwi accent.
