On tap at Little Brewing, pours a cloudy golden orange with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out piney and citrusy hops, followed by biscuity malt. Flavour is clean, with piney hops and dry biscuity malt. Well-balanced and fresh. Like an American pale.

330ml bottle into glass. Caramel malt nose. Copper beer with thin off-white head. Flat and bitter in the mouth. Creamy bittersweet finish. Good, moreish. Perhaps too sweet and too brown for a pale ale but who cares?

I didn’t realise this is such a good beer. Drank out of the stubby, pour into a glass next time. Nice aroma of citrus hop, well-balanced even sweet taste. nice, mild pine bitter finish. Reminds me of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

The aroma is orange, lemon and sawdust, giving an incredibly dry smell. The taste is surprisingly tart, with the malt somewhat overwhelmed.

Bottle at the Australian Hotel in Sydney
Clear golden with a small off-white head and some lacing. Aroma is dusty caramel and floral. Flavors of dusty caramel and some mild pine bitterness
Ok, but too malty for me to enjoy.

Bottle. Clear copper colour with nice off white head. Lovely floral and fruity aroma. Medium body with fairly fizzy carbonation. Taste has a tangy fruit (citrus, mango) start moving through a rather weak biscuity malt flavour to a good bitter finish which is perhaps a little too harsh. Overall it’s a good pale ale.

From a 330ml bottle on 4/1/2010. Pronounced malty, caramel aroma. Taste is also malty with a touch of grapefruit. Almost a little creamy, with a nice long hoppy finish. Very enjoyable.

Amber, slightly cloudy. Off-white head. Cascade hops, grapefruit and heaps of malt on the nose. Stone fruits, citrus, light caramel malt. Prominent but gentle hops. [3.7] Bottle. Clear amber light beige head that fades to a coat. Grapefruit, kumquat, a little pine, caramel aroma. Stone fruit and light caramel under citrus and pine. Bitter finish is there but less pronounced than the initial aromatics.

Vibrant caramel pour with a reasonably sized head that receded rather quickly.Cascade hops are very prominent in the aroma, very green, citrusy and grassy. Malt is definitely not forgotten, quite sweet and clean, with some hints of caramel, and unfortunately, some grainy notes.Flavour is hop dominator (that’s what my notes say, perhaps the alcohol is hitting?), again very green, with some of the citrus coming through. Quite a pronounced hoppy bitterness (almost metallic at times, actually) but the finish really seems to be lacking, almost watery.Good carbonation but a little light on for body.
