From a 500ml can on 18/8/2024. Never seen a can carrying the label of so many truly great Oz breweries! Pours a clear lightish amber with a medium head. Has a light caramel and biscuit aroma. The flavour follows suit - typically malty with light caramel and biscuit, and some nuts, finishing with a gentle bitterness. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Perfectly adequate but quite subdued for the style and size. Was hoping for something with quite a bit more punch tbh. A bit disappointing given the quality of those involved.

Can. Clear deep amber with a cm or so of beige head. Malty aroma of caught toast, dried fruit. Rich but moderately sweet with dried fruit - sultanas, wild figs - and toast. Modestly hopped but a little lilt of bitterness and some spices at the end lift the sweetness away. Harmonious.
