473ml can. Pours a clear amber with a medium, foamy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves sticky curtains of soapy lace. Aroma of caramel malt, grapefruit, apricot and floral hops. Flavour of biscuity pale malt, grapefruit, mandarin orange and piney hops in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Decent enough.

Initially the hops are curious, like a potpourri vibe with lychee or something. Rambutan. Pours clear golden without much head. That potpourri perfume type sense sticks with you like leaving the duty free at the airport. A little sourness in the finish. Hops profile is kind of unique but the malt backbone is a little lacking. Tap at Curious Cafe. UT

Very good foam, nice cloudy orange body, large carbonation bubbles. Strong sweet hops on the nose, pine, hints of clove. Flavour is good piney hops, mellow malt notes. Mouthfeel is a little too watery, could use more oiliness and crispness. Still rather enjoyable.

Hazy light amber. Thin head. This has an earthy, citrusy nose, a touch on the stale side. There is a light biscuity malt character, with a touch of stale, cheesy C hop. That cheese just gets strong as the beer warms. Cheshire? I don’t know. I actually like Cheshire.

650mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out light pine, citrus and biscuity malt -- seems off. Flavour is fairly astringency, with light pine and citrusy, with dry biscuity malt. Not much flavour from the hops, just astringency. Not an overly pleasant beer.
