It pours a glorious orange/brown, with a thick lingering head. The aroma of fresh hops is laced with stonefruits and plums. The hops and malt combine on the palate for a smooth tasting pale ale, with a well rounded finish. A grand beer

500ml from La Vino, Ponsnoby. Bronze/amber with thick head and persistant lace. Clean citris and herbs, very fresh and clean aroma. Bright hops followed by earthy warm malts, great ballance. APA on the hops, EPA malt characters. Lets call it New Zealand Pale Ale.

On tap at brewery. Pours a clear dark amber with an off-white head and some lacings. Smells of hops and alcohol. Quite bitter with a heavy maltbase. Also strong hops aromas. But a bit too unbalanced towards the malts and caramel. Heavy bodied. Medium to low carbonation. Long and very bitter finish with citric and grape hops aromas. Very robus beer.

(On tap) Clear, amber golden with a creamy, off-white head leaving some lacework. Fresh aroma of citrusy hops. Medium-bodied with lightly sweet caramel notes before some excellent aroma hops in the finish that has a solid bitterness. More American than English Pale Ale. 300108
