Hazy light tan, the hop aroma full of grapes and orchard fruits. Rich earthy character with cinnamon spiciness and brighter citrus. I like the bright finish, fruitiness and drinkability of this, but it is a touch yeasty/unrefined.

(Bottle) Hazy amber with no head. Good aroma - citrus and pine over biscuity malt. Light to medium body with modest fine carbonation. Taste starts off with a pleasant balance candy sweetness and citrus tang, and quickly develops some pretty aggressive hoppy bitterness for a long intense bitter finish. Nice unusual take on a high bitterness IPA, although I am unsure whether the contrast between the lighter foretaste and the intense bitter aftertaste is inspired or just odd.

My first task after pouring the beer was to eat the head with a spoon, no word of a lie. Of the reviews so far, only one has had the similar experience of pouring an entire glass of foam, so perhaps we just got an overly enthusiastic bottle. With that hurdle overcome, my job became more enjoyable. Unusually for an IPA, the grapefruit aroma is combined with a strong scent of butterscotch. The flavours were similar in the mouth, giving it a unique taste, even if it’s not entirely to my liking. A pleasant experience.

From a 330ml bottle on 14/11/2012. Pours a slightly cloudy dark golden with a massive five finger head. Has a very floral, fruity aroma similar to their Angry Man. The flavour is also like Angry Man, but after he’s been working out big time. You get lots of passionfruit, citrus fruit and honey, with a touch of yeastiness. The hops are dialed up fairly high to provide a satisfying dry, bitter, slightly spicy finish. My only real complaint is that it’s over carbonated. All up another very nice beer from Murrays, if not quite top flight.

Pours gold with a stupidly huge, growing head.Nose shows spicy, green hops along with pleasant biscuit-like malt.Very similar flavours. Spicy hops followed by more of that biscuity malt. Finishes exceedingly dry with a sharp, almost abrasive bitterness.Ridiculously high carbonation.

Bottle, 10C. Light amber with a large white head. Aroma has passionfruit, orange, peach, a little pepper, some more tropical fruits are there too - guava, I guess. Light bodied. Sweetish, but mainly fruity with some biscuit. Citrus and tropical flavours - pineapple as well as passionfruit. Finishes dryish and spicy with bitterness that just about keeps pace with the aromatics. No great intrigue but nice balance and hugely gluggable. [3.7]6 inch head, very high carbonation. Still like the way the fairly high bitterness avoids harshness. And the tropical fruit. But Murray’s bottling inconsistency is a real turn off.

On tap at Murrays, Manly March 2012. Hazy amber in colour with a slight white head. Massive, tropical fruit and green tea aroma. Flavour had pineapple, grapefruit, a touch of sweetish malt and a prickly dry finish with a hint of pine. The best beer of my recent trip to Australia.
