From a 330ml bottle on 17/7/2012. Pours a clearish amber with a big head. Has a very nice fruity aroma (apricot), with a little caramel and grass. Has a unusual flavour for a brown ale - again, primarily fruity with some light caramel, chocolate and toffee malt, and a moderate dash of hops. An enjoyable, different and quite subtle ale.

Pours dark brown with a large head.Nose shows tropical fruit, include lychee, papaya and melon notes, seemingly confectionery-like. Very sweet smelling. Underneath is caramel. Very nice!Similar flavours: lots of fruity, confectionery notes followed by some soft caramel, nutty and toasty notes. Incredibly drinkable. Simple sublime.Unfortunately the body seems a bit watery, but that’s a small fault.This is ridiculously good stuff! I can’t say I was expecting anything this awesome. This is certainly the beer I have enjoyed the most. Whenever I put the glass down I’d find myself instantly grabbing it again to take another sip...

Bottle, about 10C. Clear dark brown with a pale beige head. Aroma of chocolate, toast, grapefruit, light tropical fruit. Silky mouthfeel. Taste is sweet with toasty caramel, chocolate, nuts. Some citrus flavours, but milder than suggested by the aroma. Tidy dryish finish with firm bitterness (a little more than I really wanted from this sort of thing). I guess this citrus/ tropical/ grassy combination is emerging as distinctively Australian and it works pretty well.
