Pours amber with a fading head.Nose shows passion fruit, pineapple, peach, clean malt and fruit confectionery.Flavours include more sweet clean malt, resinous and spicy hops, peach, apricot and an assertive bitterness. The sweetness wins though.

Can. Clear amber with a white head that fades gradually. 3+ Aroma of oranges, pine, breadcrust, some sticky tropical fruit notes and red berries. Very sweet and a bit boozy with a roar of resin & bitterness at an end that's slightly solventy-dry. A bit on the crude side but clean and tasty.

From a 375ml can on 11/10/2019. Pours a clear deep golden with bugger all head. The nose is quite strong with lots of dank tropical fruit and piney, resiny hops. Tastes of orange, peach mango and lime with a big bitter hop finish - lots of resin and pine, with a hint of grapefruit. The mouthfeel is slick and a touch oily, the carbonation moderate to average. This is a damned impressive, bold, full on, straight up DIPA. Most of the Capital's gear I've tried has been pretty good, but this is the first one to really blow me away. It's right up there with its city sister Cluster 8 for mine, which is high praise coming from me.

A ripping DIPA from everyone's second favourite Canberra brewery. Heaps of pine, peach, honey and salt aromas. It's a resinous palate that's dominated by the pine, but accompanied by a good malt backbone.
