355ml can in Mason & Company (Hackney Wick, London) on 11th March 2017. Really enjoyed it. Orange/amber body with a mini haze: decent head of lasting white bubbles. Tropical fruits abound in both the nose and flavour, slight citrus bitterness below the surface but otherwise fairly sweet (in a fruity way). Easy drinking brew with enough about it to keep me interested until the last drop.

355ml can. Deep orange amber colour, bubbly white foam head and aroma of tropical fruit melon and spicy citrus hops. Taste is malt caramel with some mango, orange marmalade, mellow citrus, hop resins, pine and slightly spicy bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry tangy bitter finish. Very drinkable.

Keg at Mother Kelly’s, Bethnal Green, London. A hazy dark orange coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, mango, orange, tropical fruit aroma. Tastes hoppy, mango, orange, tropical fruit, slightly sweet and rich. Enjoyable IPA and probably the best Australian beer that I’ve had.

Keg at Mother Kelly’s - Bethnal Green. Pours unclear orange with a creamy topping. Good and juicy in the nose, some pine, ripening citrus, orange, mango. Medium sweet flavour with sturdy piney hops, moderate bitterness, some pale bread, melon, plump orange, mango, some citrus rind. Medium to full bodied with average carbonation. Resinous and warming on the finish, with more plump and juicy citrus fruits, tropical accents, some further piney bitterness. Really solid. Bridges the gap between old school and new.

Can. Light haze on this amber - gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and crispy. Fluffy malts, a pleasant light creamy sweetness. Nice levels of hop spice. Cooling pine. Spicy tangerine. Tangy citrus peel. Light finish. Pretty much the same as the APA but with volume turned up. Nice.

Can. Beer Central, Sheffield. Dark orange. Light haze. Super sticky, film of white head. Nose has baked, syrupy orange. Minty toffee. Notes of gluey pine. Pretty old school. Or is it just old? Whichever, it’s fine by me. Taste is chewy sweet, with lots of oily, citrus, pine bitterness. Medium to full body. Piny, oily bitter finish. Very decent.
