Can. Almost clear amber with light beige head. 3+ A: Pine, grapefruit, some toast, alcohol. Not a lot of body. Tastes pretty much as the aroma suggested it would with very strong bitterness. Although there's lots of pine it's not an abrasive finish. Some golden raisins. It's raucous and fine but not terribly drinkable.

From a 375ml can on 14/1/2018. Described as an imperial pale ale but have entered as an IIPA as this appears to be the nearest and most appropriate description.. The nose is dank and a bit fruity, but I don't associate with my doona (or donna as described on the label). Taste wise, there's caramel malt and lots of peach sweetness, a fair bit of warming alcohol, and some pretty big, resiny hops. Slick palate and moderate carbonation. Drinkable enough but a little unbalanced and unfocused for mine.
