Kaleidoscope

◎ Appearance

Pale golden in color with a bright, luminous quality characteristic of New Zealand hop-forward ales. The beer presents a light haze from its unfiltered nature, which catches the light pleasantly. A fine, persistent white head forms with good retention and delicate lacing on the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by ripe tropical fruit notes—passionfruit, mango, and stone fruit—layered with bright citrus zest and a subtle floral undertone. A whisper of coconut adds complexity without overwhelming the composition. The overall impression is clean and aromatic, with no yeasty or oxidative character.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with crisp citrus and tropical fruit character that mirrors the aroma, supported by a light, clean malt base. Moderate bitterness arrives mid-palate at 38 IBU, providing balance without harshness. The beer finishes dry and refreshing, with the hop character remaining prominent throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and relatively short, allowing the drinker to return to the aromatic qualities without lingering bitterness. A light, crisp aftertaste lingers briefly before fading.
