(On tap @ Embassy, Brisbane, July 15 2016) Pours slightly hazy medium gold with a dense white head that left lots of lace. Aroma of mango, orange, grass, slightly resinous, quite light malty notes of caramel and cracker underneath. Flavour recapitulates the nose, with candied orange peel, mango, general citrusy notes, grass, slightly sweet and crackery pale malt. Finish is light to moderately bitter with grass and pith over a bit more cracker. Medium bodied with fairly high prickling carbonation. Very light on the malt body for style and flirting a bit with APA-like styling, but it’s clean and refreshing and hop-forward. Good easy drinker.

Aroma of orange, pine, passionfruit, honey and rockmelon are followed by orange peel, lemon and lots of tart pine in the mouth. It’s very hop forward as advertised but with impressive length leaving a lingering hot alcohol streak in the back of the throat that’s pleasant rather than overbearing. Not a lot of malt, but plenty of body nonetheless. A very enjoyable IPA.

Pours amber with a small head.Nose shows lychee and papaya along with some caramel and butterscotch.More fruity hops as flavours along with some confectionery notes. Lots of sweet malt. A fair bit of diacetyl unfortunately.

From a 330ml bottle on 28/4/2015. Pours a murky olden with a small head. Has a lovely aroma featuring lots of passionfruit and lychee. Take a sip and you get a light bready malt backbone, with stone and tropical fruit (peach, passionfruit), and a firm lingering hop bitterness, featuring some light grapefruit. Medium bodies with average to lively carbonation. A distinctive and quite impressive Aussie IPA.

Growler. Clear gold with an inch of white head. Aroma of passionfruit, grapefruit, mango, grass, a little biscuit. Medium bodied and sweet with loads of fruit - those mentioned plus gooseberry. Lower bitterness than I’d like but enough to clean up the sweetness on the palate. And a little pine stops it from being fruit salad-y. This would kill on a stinking hot Brisbane evening.
