On tap at Modus Operandi, pours a hazy copper blonde with a small white head. Aroma is very crisp, with more of floral hops and crackery malt. Flavour is a bit stale, with metallic notes and crisp crackery malt. Drinkable enough but not terribly exciting. Meh.

More a session IPA than a golden ale. There are lots of tangy hops, with orange rind and pine needles on the nose and a more bitter, less floral taste. The beer is well balanced with a solid malt structure. Despite being only 4.5% it could be a little dangerous as I would have guessed that its alcohol content is mid strength. Maybe it’s just too long since I had a 4.5 beer?A really nice session IPA for a hot day. 750ml bottle from Tru Bru.

On tap at Local Taphouse, St.Kilda: I didn’t get any of the expected mango or fruitiness coming through in terms of aroma or taste. Similarly, the hopping was very subtle indeed. As such, this was rendered a pretty dull pale ale. It might be ’sessionable’, but it would be a very excited session.
