Grapefruit, a little lime. Crisp yet a little dry. Excellent when served super cold.

A classic though possibly less complex than it used to be. My imagination?

Doesn't feel as special as it used to.

A step up from the uber stereotypical but doesn't have the nuance and complexity to stay in stride with some of the new guys.

Lacking in fruit a bit but good quaffing on a Tuesday evening

Super fresh gooseberry pie with lime meringue. Super tropical with a touch of tomato leaf. One of the better NZ SB's I've tasted in a while.

Light straw color. Aromas of gooseberries, grapefruit and green bell pepper skin. Crisp, citrusy with a mineral finish.

A dry white wine with elegant minerality, plus some saline. Notes of green apple, melon, and lime. Crisp, with mouthwatering acidity.
