I have a slow leak, where the keg would loose pressure over a few days. Eliminated the keg and posts by swapping the lid with another keg. Appears to be
The pressure release valve. It was done up very tight. It need vide grips to loosen. Squirted with star San and cleaned with a cotton bud. Reassembled and filled to 20psi (the keg has 14l of hoppy waimea ale in it)

All pretty much finished accept Russian
Honey on the nose, fizzy, great flavour, to hoppy for a wheat but a good hop.
Aroma – fresh yeast, full mouth feel, too cd. Needs to warm up!
Very tasty.
No aroma, cold. Very mild, no hops. Lawnmower beer?
$8 for 330 ml is a bit steep.
Nb:
Solvent on nose, malt initially, nice taste however fads quickly. Ben calls for chardaney nose.
Bruin:
Fruity nose, can smell the alcohol , fruity sweetness, full mouth feel, flavour holds for 5 seconds…
Burnt Coffee aroma, fizzy, full mouthfeel, mid malt, with a burnt malt finish.
Sharp bitterness.
5/10
Matchsticks on the nose?
Tastes oxidised. Quite carbonated. Strange astringency- bitter but not hop bitter?
Dank Grape and caramel on the nose,
Mouthfeel creamy, astringent finish.
