Bottle. Very pale gold and clear enough that you can easily read text through it. Modest white head. Aroma of lime, kumquats, bread crust. Decent body for under 5% - firm bread and biscuit. Citrus is subdued. Some tropical notes. Punchy floral, almost spicy bitterness at the end. A bit too fizzy. Solid but not perhaps their most exciting - would kill on cask though.

Tap at Beer DeLuxe, Federation Square, Melbourne. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a round white head. The aroma is malt grassy mineral citrus hop. The flavour is moderate sweet light bitter with a light dry crisp mineral stone fruit, dry hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation.

On tap at the Lumsden. Pours bright pale yellow. Peach, nectarine, something a bit tropical, something a bit chalky. Fairly chalky mouthfeel. Not for me.
