This beer had an attractive light amber brown colour, and a moderate head. There was a fresh strong citrus fruit and hoppy aroma. There were fresh citrus fruit and floral flavours, and crisp acid balance on the finish. Here's some information they included: We use first hops of the season, including NZ saaz (including flowers) and two new varieties

Note 1: I am not really a beer expert (just an enthusiastic amateur), so please don't take my recommendations as anything more than a rough guide to these beers. I can take no responsibility if you buy a lot of this particular beer, on my recommendation, and then regret it!

Note 2: You may not fully agree with my evaluation of these beers, as a lot of this is quite subjective. I tend to put a lot of emphasis on complexity and intense characteristic and varietal flavours and bouquet, so if you disagree you might just have different priorities.
