An Australian interpretation of an American IPA, using a combination of hops from three countries. Galaxy from Australia, Nelson Sauvin from New Zealand and Citra from United States. Malt flavours are derived from the combination of pale, wheat and crystal. Very hop forward showing strong pine and citrus notes, with stone fruit and passionfruit characters. The malt structure is beautifully matched with the dry hopping, giving this beer a refined balance.

Tap. Hazy orange/ amber with a small white head. Aroma has citrus, gooseberries, vanilla, some caramel and pine. Taste is mildly sweet, but it’s rather empty in the malt department. Nectarines, gooseberries and passionfruit hop flavours are quite nice. Thinnish body, brief finish with modest bitterness. OK. [3.1]Guess that had been on awhile. Bottle. Much sharper citrus aroma, perhaps more tropical fruit too. Shows up - with a little pine - in the taste too. If anything, accentuates the emptiness of the malt side.
