Bottle 330ml. Hazy amber colour. Thin ecru colour head. Good lacing. Aroma is malty, delicate sweet with a lot of hops with tropical fruits notes. First sip and I feel medium malty body, delicate sweet, smooth with toast character. But after few sips this malty sweetnes in good balanced by medium, citrus-herbal bitterness. Beer is quite light, refreshing, I can say average IPA but I expected more power of hops and the beer has rather malty than hoppy character.

Tap at the Royston Hotel, Melbourne. Poured a slightly hazy straw colour with a thin white head. The aroma is malt, light grassy citrus hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a crisp, fresh, light fruit, woody light floral hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. This was one beer that I wanted to taste after having tasted the UK version brewed by Banks. This is a decent session beer and I’m pleased to say that the UK version is on a par with its Australian cousin!

Bottle sample at a tasting at Max’s place. Thanks Stas. Hazy golden. Aroma of citric hops, slightly stale. Flavor is a bit sweetish with malt, and bitter citric hops, a bit stale. Medium-bodied. Decent, could be fresher.

(330ml bottle from BWS Surfers Paradise) Pours clear pale copper with an average white head and no lace. Aroma is pine-forward hops up front with citrus and peach in support, a decently solid malt backbone with light caramel and biscuits. Pretty fresh pine needle and grapefruit peel hop flavours, some floral qualities and a moderately strong malt base with a bit of biscuit and moderate caramel sweetness. Finish is dry with moderate pine resin bitterness. Medium bodied and slightly sticky with average carbonation. Nothing revelatory maybe, but quite a very solid IPA compared to the typical selection at a BWS store.
