UPDATED: FEB 6, 2024 500ml bottle. Pours a light gold with tinge of green and soft white head. Huge nose bursting with citrus, fuck, tartness, and the distinct feijoa. Light to medium body with mild carbonation. Frontal assault of feijoa with medium acidity and tartness. Light mouth puckering and dryness from the zest. More balanced than precious versions.

Tap pour. Pours a gold/yellow/orange with very quickly dissappearing head. Huge citrus nose full of the Feijoa. Medium body with a strong sour forward which develops into sweetness. Reminds me if the old sour candy's but in delicious beer form! An excellent annual release.

UPDATED: FEB 4, 2024 On tap at Scratch for Weekend of Tartness. Pours hazy gold w/thin head, fruity & funky aroma. Forward lemon/lime tartness, earthy & chalky notes, citrus zest, other unusual elements hard to place.

UPDATED: AUG 28, 2023 Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Clear golden colour, white foam head and aroma of feijoa, funk, lemon-lime citric. Taste is sour, pale malt, feijoa, fruity, citrus, bretty funk, with some saltiness and drying bitterness. Slick mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry sour acidic finish. Nicely drinkable.

UPDATED: AUG 20, 2023 Panda at home, thanks to Graham / Grumbo, 20/08/23. Almost clear light golden with an off white cap that thins to spotting. Nose is tarte fruit esters, green berry must, funk, damp cloth, hedgerow, herb, light acidic nostril tickle. Taste comprises sharp citric juice, grape skins, damp oak, barnyard esters, funk, hay bale, light bretty pangs. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with balanced acidity. Tidy well balanced sour.

UPDATED: JUL 15, 2023 15/7/2023. Bottle shared at SBGP3. 2019 vintage. From New Zealand Beer Collective. Pours clear pale golden with a small frothy white head. Aroma of lime, guava, gooseberry, flowers, sour pineapple, wood, light herb. Moderate sweetness and medium tartness. Medium body, spritzy carbonation. Drying tart finish. Very nice.

UPDATED: MAY 7, 2023 500ml bottle as part of a delivery from the New Zealand Bert Collective and drunk at home. Light to mid-golden and hazy with a small foamy white head. Lots, and I mean lots of sediment. Aroma of gooseberry, loquat, lemon juice, candy sugar. Sour taste with juicy sourness lying beneath, leading to a relatively short finish. More lightly sugared gooseberry in the aftertaste. Full body, medium to heavy carbonation. Incredible.

UPDATED: NOV 14, 2021 I Draught /I No head to speak of; hazy pineapplejuice coloured beer. Sour, old cloth, soap, dry spices - some form of oxydation. Dry, mild acids, lactic. Fruity esters but none really imposing. Wild yeasts, and then especially floor mop Brett dominating the flavourprofile. Light body, low carbonation. Too wild yeast oriented, and not very uplifting.

UPDATED: NOV 14, 2021 Sampled @ Billie's Craft Beer Fest 2021. A hazy yellow golden beer with a white head. Aroma of oak Bar, white grapes. Taste of white grapes, brett, oak. Nice.

UPDATED: JUL 9, 2021 Draught @ Craft Beer Garden 2021, Helsinki. Funky, mouth puckering sour and quite intense with some grapefruit, tartness, earthiness and acidy notes. Quite intense.
