CS13 - Beached As - Kiwi Pale Ale
This beer was meant to be a laid back Kiwi take on an American Pale Pale, A pretty straight forward recipe, crash chilled this and wound up leaving it for about 6 weeks at 0.5 degrees due to life getting busy so some of the hop aroma has left the building.
Biggest concern at this point is carbonation, a bit of a rushed cluster when it came to bottling. may have under primed, had been kegged for a couple of days and wasn't sure how much CO2 was already in there, will have to see how it comes out
Don't refrigerate for another week (any time after mid July should be okay)

I like it Peter!
Pours deep gold/orange, slightly cloudy. Reasonable white head with heaps of lacing.
Nice tropical fruit aroma.
A small amount of malty sweetness to first taste, then the tropical fruit, then a small amount of citrus and smooth bitterness. Moderately estery.
I like the balance and I think it is very drinkable.

Hi Peter - sampled this a week back - referencing notes.
Appearance - A golden brown that's head went fairly quickly. Good carbonation.
Aroma - Fruit and Tropical aroma but with a bit of an estery note.
Taste - Nice - not overpoweringly hoppy and bitter - but as you stated it is a laid back style.
Overall - a nice session beer. I liked it.

Hi Pete
Had this on Sunday, I think you hit your mark for an easy drinking NZAPA. Good thirst quencher after some DIY.
