Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of bluebetty. Clear golden with an off-white head. Fresh citrusy nose - almost perfumy. Medium body, a little sweet fruitiness and again lots of fresh citrus. Dry and hoppy finish. Very decent - certainly has the hops, but perhaps not much more than an APA. 150311

From a 330ml bottle on 19/1/2011. Pours golden orange with a substantial head. Has a lovely, powerful floral, piney, fruity (lychee) aroma. In the mouth it’s very fruity (orange and grapefruit), with sweet toffee malt set off against a big, but not overwhelming, hop kick, which lingers. A superb American style IPA, and one of the best Aussie beers out there.

Pours orange/amber with a small head.Nose shows loads of citrus fruits: tangerine and kumquat at the forefront. Also shows some lychee and apple. Very summery. Underneath is a fair helping of clean sweet malt.Flavours are quite different, with very little fruit. Instead the hops contribute piney resin. Once again there’s a lot of sweet malt underneath. The bitterness is quite sharp, not all that pleasant.Carbonation is a little high.

Bottle. Light amber with a cm of off-white head. Aroma - sharp pine and grapefruit with nectarines, passionfruit and caramel. Slightly syrupy mouthfeel. Quite sweet before decent bitterness. A lot of light caramel with nectarines and sweet pears. Bitter finish doesn’t last long and doesn’t quite clean up the sweetness. Doesn’t quite live up to the smell. [3.5][/9/11] New (to me) green label, smells very fresh. Lovely clean lively aroma is very fruity with stone fruits, tropical notes, grapefruit and pine. Sweet, with ripe nectarines and lots of caramel. Bitterness doesn’t quite clean up. Not quite dry finish with lingering pine and citrus. [3.5] Liking this more for what it is rather than what it isn’t: easy going, clean, lovely hop aromatics.

@Local Taphouse,Sydeny. Best Oz beer out there IMO. I can’t believe what this delivered for 5.8%. Light amber color. Caramel and piney nose with just a touch of citirus. Very piney, resiny mouth, but sufficient caramel malt backbone to provide decent body. Moderate bitter finish. Not an overthetop WC IPA, but extremely well balanced IPA. Good depth. Get this beer if you can
