A month in the keg has transformed this completely! Would be delighted with a pint of it in a Brewdog bar or similar.
Maybe the yeast has done some cleanup and obviously the carbonation adds mouthfeel which maybe compensates for a lack of body.
If doing the same beer again with the same 200g of fancy hops, I'd use Challenger or something else cheap for the whole bittering addition and move those 18g of wai-iti to a dry hop and/or increased aroma. Have also read elsewhere that I should have let the temperature drop before adding my main aroma hops.
Properly chuffed with this brew!

Wai Iti as an Amarillo Substitute?
Same feeling this weekend. We tried a few hoppy beers from a supermarket- Tesco (uk) is doing a lot of us import cans ATM.
All good, but the best beer of the evening was my pale ale. Proud as punch. And only 10 bottles left out of the original 45L I packaged
