Kiwi Party

◎ Appearance

Kiwi Party presents a bright golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head. The carbonation is lively, evidenced by a steady stream of fine bubbles rising through the glass, with good foam retention and delicate lacing around the rim.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant stone fruit and citrus notes—mandarin and gooseberry dominate—backed by the characteristic herbaceous and slightly grassy character of Nelson Sauvin, Motueka, and Riwaka. Subtle German malt undertones provide a soft, neutral foundation without sweetness, allowing the New Zealand hop profile to take center stage.

◐ Taste

The palate opens juicy and clean with immediate tropical fruit flavors—stone fruit and citrus zest—that evolve through the mid-palate. Bitterness arrives as a delicate, refined presence rather than a sharp punch, balancing the fruit without overwhelming it. The mouthfeel is crisp and medium-bodied, finishing dry.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and relatively brief, with lingering mandarin and subtle herbal notes from the hop selection fading cleanly. A gentle dryness persists without astringency.
