Can, bb 5/23. Barely hazy gold (not in any sense a bad thing) with a loose white head. Aroma of mandarins, pineapple, lychees, light biscuit. So it tastes. Which is like a golden ale. Moderate bitterness but the end is dry enough. Not what I was expecting but nice.

Hazy golden small white head. Pleasant apple aroma (surprisingly). Medium body with good soft carbonation. Tangy citrus start, pleasant biscuit malt with gentle hoppy bitterness. Very drinkable.

From a 375ml can on 29/6/2019 (described on the can as a New England IPA). Pours (somewhat curiously) a clear light golden with a big foamy head. Has a light fruity, slightly grassy aroma. Has a little bit of bready malt, and a dash of citrus fruit sweetness, with a mild, somewhat lemony bitterness. Lightish body with average carbonation. Not very NEIPA like in character, but moderately pleasant and easy enough to down.

Super hazy golden blonde coloured body with a deep, two to three centimetre tall pure white and relatively soapy head that stays afloat for a while. Aroma of grass, cleanser, hay, flowers, lemons, light tropical fruits and a touch of resin and bitter hops towards the end. Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and very herbal flavours at first give way to a big fruitiness towards the end and a solid malt backbone that has a lot of bitterness, yet is still easy to drink and enjoyable with a fruity, hoppy bite at the end. Aftertaste shows the grass and hay-like flavours stronger than anything else with a deep bitterness from all the hops, but also a dry and floral bite with some of the tropical fruits and sweetness on the very tail end. Overall, very easy-drinking and a full-flavoured beer with a nice complexity that hits the right notes throughout. I sampled this 375 mL can purchased from BWS in Kirribilli, Sydney, NSW, Australia on 14-August-2019 for AU$7,00 sampled in my hotel room here in Sydney, a day later on 15-August-2019. B

Tap at Willy the Boatmans Brewery. Golden colour, white foam head leaving lacing and aroma of tropical fruity hops. Taste is malt caramel with juicy tropical fruits and tangy bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry tangy bitter finish. Quite drinkable

Pint on tap at Basement Brewhouse, Bankstown. Looks like a classic English bitter with a tightly packed white head and a golden brown body. Laces well. Plenty of carbonation. Nose is mildly fruity. Easy-drinking, full-bodied and smooth with a nutty sweet finish. Nice pint.
