Killer Kiwi

◎ Appearance

Killer Kiwi presents a pale golden hue with bright transparency and a fine white head that settles to a delicate ring. The beer shows excellent carbonation with a steady stream of small bubbles rising through the glass. Schaumhaftung is moderate, with a thin, persistent lace clinging to the sides.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with juicy tropical stone fruit—ripe stone fruit and passion fruit notes lead, followed by a distinctive grapey undertone from the Nelson Sauvin. A zesty lime accent cuts through, while Riwaka and Motueka contribute subtle herbal and floral layers beneath. The overall impression is clean and fruit-forward, with no oxidation or off-notes.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bright tropical fruit and a clean malt backbone that remains understated, allowing the New Zealand Edelhopfen to dominate. Mid-palate develops grapey and lime notes in harmony, with moderate bitterness (35 IBU) providing structure without harshness. The finish is crisp and dry, with lingering citrus and herbal notes from Riwaka and Motueka.

◑ Finish

The beer finishes clean and refreshing with a medium length. Lingering tropical and lime notes fade gradually, leaving a pleasant herbal and slightly bitter aftertaste.
