355ml can into tulip. Hazy golden amber beer with a large frothy head. Nose of caramel malt and fruit. Good lacing. Medium body, slight effervescence. Taste is sweet and earthy, finish is drying and nutty. Very nice IPA.

From a 355ml can on 26/7/2020. Pours a clearish medium golden with a small head. The nose is quite indistinct with a bit of muted fruit sweetness. On the sip, there's a a bit of sweet citrus, a mild bitterness and not much else. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Not particularly IPA-like to be honest. Not an unmitigated disaster but disappointing. I just tried the latest version of JS Hop Thief which has miles more flavour and character than this, and it's an APA.

I suppose when you're owned by a keiretsu it behooves one to slap on the 'Strine marketing smegma that little bit thicker. Is there a limit? Can. Very slightly hazy gold with an inch of fluffy white head. 3+ Aroma of melon, mandarin, some passionfruit, crackers. 7+ Fairly light bodied with moderate carbonation. Taste is quite sweet with a bit of tropical bubblegum feel to it until moderate bitterness trims its sails. 7- A little more bitterness would have suited me but it's pretty good.
