Australia produces some phenomenal hops that we love to use and Vic Secret is one of the best! Originating from the state of Victoria in the south-east of the country, this variety is known for packing a real wallop. Initial aromas of mango and guava with a touch of pine, followed by juicy pineapple on the palate.

Can at home, from Thornbridge online, 25/12/2022. Almost clear golden with a big old lasting frothy just off white head. Nose is orange zest, grass, light floral notes, melon, citric tinged straw. Taste comprises orange pith, melon, soft malts, tangerine, light pine nip, grass. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close spliced with balanced light juice laden hop bitterness. Tidy enough APA.

Pours all over the floor from the can, but then calmer in the glass. A golden beer, a head is medium and white. Aroma has lime, smoother mango. Taste has lime, mango, some bitterness, dry enough, some spicyness in the end. Medium bodied. Quite interesting, but I'd say with some other hops would be even better.

Can, medium long lasting bubbly head, quite clear and a bit intense yellow colour, aroma of onion and wood with a bit of malt behind, flavor of onion, a bit of flowers and some fruitiness behind, medium shrubby bitterness, lightish sweetness, hint of sour fruitiness. Nice.

Can picked up at the brewery. Missed it when it hit the shops. Mostly clear pale to medium gold. Thick white froth. Nose has peach and passion fruit. Bit of skunky pine. Super clean malt backdrop. Taste is clean pithy piny bitterness. Lick of malt sweetness on the lips. Refreshing and easy drinking. Nice bracing bitterness to finish. Packaged four months ago but it seems in perfect nick still. Nice one.

Can. Light haze on this gold beer, decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Light malts, pretty similar to all its sibling beers, light and sweet with a bare trace of raw grain that really is not a distraction. The Vic Secret hops bring a floral tropical fruits vibe that is vaguely peachy and mango. Mild hop skunk and very soft pine. Smooth and semi dry finish. It's another good beer in this series but not quite up there with the best, a bit more Vic Secret punch needed here.

440ml can from Thornbridge Beer Club - Hazy yellow, little head. Nose is weedy grass, bit of pine and generic herbs. Taste is a little pithy, a little bitterness. Fruity, but not overpowering
