Mark Woods is drinking a Saturation of Citra by Behemoth Brewing Company at Ohakune Club
Light and punchy. All the Citra and as a result all the citrus. Super smooth and well balanced. My can seemed under carbonated but it still worked.

Mark Woods is drinking a Pinball by Epic Brewing Company at Vultures' Lane
Old school is the best school and this proves it. Malty, piney with grapefruit rind and hoppy bitter finish. This is a good benchmark classic NZIPA. Reminiscent of Armageddon IPA

Mark Woods is drinking a Steinlager Light by Lion New Zealand at Air New Zealand Koru Lounge (Domestic)
For a mainstream 2.5% lager this is much better than I expected. Errs to the malty side for a lager but still maintains its crisp slight dry finish. Would drink again if looking for a light beer.

Mark Woods is drinking a STICKY BUDS II 2024 Fresh Hop Harvest Hazy IPA by Bach Brewing at Waikanae
Great example of a fresh hop brew. Perfectly balanced between the Sauvin and Riwaka giving lovely grassy and fruit notes lingering on the palate after each sip. Dank aroma and all the fresh hop oils coating the mouth. One of the best for this season.

One if the most pungent beers I’ve ever had. The fruity aroma bursts out if the can as soon as its opened even before I could my nose to the glass. Blueberry and Guava dominate the palate like a liquid bubble gum. More unfiltered than a true hazy
