Jason Ingham: I was wondering which peak is Shining peak. Taranaki I see. I’m heading that way in about a month, unless I do a quick trip to USA instead.

A tasty nuanced beer, maybe more on the delicate side so I guess I had these in the wrong order

Absolutely not wowing. Clean malty profile, a bit oily, a bit watery

Greig McGill: Thought you must have passed out! 🤣
Russell Warner: Greig M. Been at the hop house. Not the best. Possibly dirty lines?
Greig McGill: My experience also. Shame as I love them.

A good Colab between two great brewers. Sweet, like a white grape flavour. I’m guessing there is Nelson Sauvin hops in this

Jason Ingham: I thought that you were a bit averse to bright IPAs. So I guess this must be about the best in class.

Very light yellow colour, light head, gentle fizz. Fruity, hoppy, floral aroma. Taste is gently bitter, slightly watery, slightly resinous. Aeration is resin hop, mulling is bitter. Light-medium body. A pleasant flavour but a little watery.

Medium bitterness. Ok but not wowing me.
I didn’t realise that I was a werewolf until I saw the moon. It was a real full circle moment. Bloody nice beer.
