Still, its rare for a brewery to perform really well across their whole range of beers, no matter how ambitious, and Kooinda have done excellently to date with a couple of real standouts and a strong performance across the stable.
Pours with a frothy head I initially feared might dissipate, but instead it remained with a meniscus of snowlike froth throughout the glass. Good yellow orange colour but visible aeration in the tall glass. Aroma of citrus peel, sweet, slight coriander, and yes checking the label reveals orange peel and coriander in line with traditional trends.
Mouthfeel here is a little too fizzy, kind of floaty and soft effervescent in character, not the worst but could be improved. Spices particularly pepper come through pretty strong on the palate along with ongoing orange fruit sweetness. There is an edge of booze present in this too which is a bit of a shame at just 5.5%. Where does this leave us? Kooinda have again demonstrated solid skills and a commitment to quality brewing. No complaints. But certainly no standout either in the shadow of their stronger beers. 5.0
