From a 375ml can on 29/3/2026. Pours a slightly opaque golden with a smallish head. Has a nice aroma punchy aroma of citrus, pine and hints of caramel. The main reason I find most Oz brewed WC IPAs fairly uninspiring is they invariably lack the caramel and biscuit malt character that's often a mainstay in the good US brews in the style. But this has a that nice chewy malty backbone with biscuit and caramel and even a hint of butterscotch. Orange and lemon present fruit wise, leading into a firm, satisfying pine/resin hops which linger in the mouth. Silky mouthfeel with moderate to average carbonation. I really like this one - such a treat to find something made here with genuine WC character.

A big malty WCIPA with plenty of hops. Aromas of pine, stone fruit, caramel and bread. Grapefruit and pine in the mouth with a syrupy mouthfeel.

A golden ipa with a thick frothy lacing off white head. In aroma, good biscuit malt with treacle, grainy notes, resinous floral hops, grapefruit pulp, very nice. In mouth, a nice biscuit malt with resinous floral hops, light treacle, light butterscotch, light mineral notes, nice and smooth. Bottle at Antarabangsa, Penang.

Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a clear orange gold with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma is pine forward with some citrus rind and a bit of a bread backbone. Flavor has earthy pine and grass notes with a grain backbone.

fairly hazy light amber color. Frothy white color. Massively juicy dank nose with tons of stonefruit, citrus and apricot in the nose. Low carbonation very juicy palate lots of citrusy, apricot hops with good crackery malt backbone. Well balanced. More bitter than a ne ipa but so nice and so juicy and so on point in many ways. Love it.

(Bottle) Cloudy amber with small white head. Nice aroma of pine with passion fruit and biscuity notes. Light body, good carbonation. Taste has hops at the forefront over a light biscuit malt. There’s some nice tart fruitiness at the start but the (pleasant) hop bitterness kicks in quickly and stays around for a long finish. Nice IPA.

330ml bottle into pint glass. From Oldfield Cellars, Gosford. Nose is pineapple with a touch of pine. Pours a cloudy amber with a solid white head. Effervescent with many tiny bubbles. Full-bodied, oily texture. Bitter taste then a nutty, piney finish.Malt background. Solid IPA (and a treat after having nothing to drink but Carlsberg or Crown Lager all weekend!).
