On tap at the brewery in Melbourne. Hazy yellow with a white head. Quite mild with hops, citrus, light malt and some notes of grass. A decent one.

25cl at the incubator, pours a pulpy orange with some creamy, white head.  Nose has melon, papaya, orange creamcicle, perfume, vanilla.  Flavor follows with the slightest drop off, melon and mango and peach but it feels just a touch cheap now.  Medium bodied and flirting with dry.  8 4 7 3 13

500ml can from #ratebeersupertasters. Pale yellow and hazy. Tropical fruit nose. Some chewiness, but not the pulpfest of bigger NEIPAs. Orange and grapefruit flavours with a bitterness that doesn't linger. Very drinkable if somewhat off style.

From a 500ml can on 7/10/2019. Pours a murky light golden with a small white head. Has a quite a distinct citrus hop aroma. The flavour features lots of citrus - orange, lemon and some grapefruit, which is a touch unusual for the style. Has bitterness is pretty firm - grapefruit again and some zest and spice. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Reasonably bold yet quite quaffable. Pretty good.

500ml can. Opaque gold with a cm of white head. Aroma of lime leaf, green mango, crackers, some menthol and herbal notes. A taste reveals this is not the normal sweet sludge: it's fairly dry with both ripe and under-ripe tropical notes and quite focused (albeit not very prominent) malt before decisive bitterness

Glass on tap at Incubator, Collingwood. Subtle woody fruity nose. Cloudy amber beer, creamy white head. Subtle fruitiness, refreshing, easy drinking. Finish is quite short with touches of malt, pepper and fruit. A real quaffer with some complexity to keep it interesting.

Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a cloudy yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a nice bitter tropical fruit with a bit of citrus and a light sweet grain underlying. Flavor has bitter tropical fruit, dank citrus and a hint of onion with a touch of sweet grain backing.
