Some caramel on the nose, and a bit of bright citrus. On the palate, a complex toasty malt character. Medium bitterness, mostly grapefruit. Good shit.

Okay medium orange body and some okay foam. Smells of chewy mandarin orange with a hint of pine. Taste is more chewy pine, sharp notes, slight fruitiness. Lingering bitterness and oiliness. It's thick and bitter, you better like that sort of thing.

Poured from 473mL can. Clear copper with off-white head. Bitter pine hops and a hint of a dry capsicum oil finish. Quite bitter, indeed.

473mL can, pours a clear copper orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out a rather spicy hop character, with bitter pine, and crisp caramel maltiness. Flavour is spicy and bitter, with lots of bitter piney hops, spiciness, and orange rinds. Bitter, piney, and spicy. It's not exactly elegant and it's a bit overly bitter, but I'm happy with this.

Golden to light amber colour, clean, with medium sized head. Mild aroma of pine resin. Good body strength, the mouthfeel is very dry; there is some caramel flavour, biscuity; the hop character is not convincing, it's herbaceous, a bit resiny, with a very unpleasant pithy bitterness in the finish.

Dull golden colour. Some smell of apple, flavour of pumpkin, but mostly offensive vegetables in the finish, including chicory bitterness.
I respect that they pulled this from the market; it's not good, but it's not representative of higher Boombox quality.

Green and leafy notes. Clear gold with a decent white head. Very green, I think this may need some time. I will revisit again.
