The taste is dry, bitter, fresh, pithy, zesty, oily, green, grassy, lime, grapefruit and kumquat with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Decent gear with a nice zingy lime vibe.

Half pint on tap at Basement Brewhouse, Bankstown. Light fresh nose of lime. Pale amber beer with thin white head. Nice lacing. High carbonation. Earthy spritzy taste. Alcohol, fruit and earthy wood in the finish. Not enough lime to be a crisis.

From a 640ml bottle on 18/2/2018 (shared by Butz, with thanks). Pours a slightly cloudy golden with a small head. Has a very sweet aroma, with malt and fruit prevalent. The flavour also begins sweet, with peach and ripe apricot notes, but the lime and salt then kicks in to give it some bite at the back, followed by a moderate hop bitterness. Fullish body with moderate carbonation. A pleasant, well made, and reasonably distinctive IIPA.

Bottle. Pretty much clear gold with a white head. Aroma of grapefruit, lime (you would guess fruit, but it doesn't scream it) honeyed biscuit. Sweet with a lovely silky texture (a feature of many MG beers right from the start) and lowish carbonation. Lots of moody citrus, only a little is punchily zesty. The lime and salt along with fairly high bitterness deliver an unusual and quite savoury finish. There is a creeping alcohol presence but there's no heat. Nice to have a hoppy + fruit beer where thought has been put into how it's going to work.

Tap at the brewery. Poured a crystal clear golden colour with a frothy white head. The aroma is malt, big lime citrus hop. The flavour is moderate to strong bitter with a dry crisp fresh super citrus fruit, woody alcohol hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.
