From a 330ml can on 9/7/2019. Pours a hazy, pink colour, with barely any head and heaps of yeast floaties. Has a slightly odd, dank nose with a hint of plum. The flavour is sharp, slightly sour and quite fruity, with a mild bitterness. But more sour than hoppy. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Most Barossa Valley beers I've had to date have been pretty good, but I'm not fan of this one. Bordering on unpleasant and unusual in a not particularly good way.

Can from brewery. Pours almost opaque pink (think guava juice). Plum on nose. Chewy from all the native plum pulp. The juiciness translates to an almost sour, but with still some hops. Intriguing effort.
