What Our Editors Thought
“Fresh NZ thiol–driven hop note in the aroma with pineapple, mint, a bit of cannabis, underlying passion fruit. Crisp in the sip despite the fullness. Precise and intentional with concise fruit notes and a defined finish.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Very bright, spicy pepper and lemon notes on the nose. Similarly hits your tongue with an electric note. Finish lingers with white pepper, citrus, pine, and a pleasant mix of bitterness, carbonic bite, and alcohol heat.”
What the Brewers Say
“Citra, Nelson, and Riwaka. Think cotton candy, grapes, pineapple fruit spears, passion-fruit sorbet.”
