(Can) Pours slightly hazy golden with a decent white head. Good aroma of lemon, and pine with herbal notes. Medium body with lively carbonation. Taste is very hop driven, from start to finish. Despite being hop dominated the bitterness is not over the top, but there’s a good bitter finish. Some caramel malt sweetness which gives another dimension to the taste. Very hoppy and enjoyable.

On tap at Beer DeLuxe, Melbourne. Hazy orange with a white head. Aroma and taste of hops, citrus, pineapple and some malt. The finish was quite bitter.

The dry bitterness is the first hit, followed by the familiar piney finish. Good, but not great.

Slightly hazy golden color. Big dank mango and tropical fruit nose, sweeter than expected, but lovely nonetheless. Piercing bitterness rips across the tongue and drier than expected palate with excellent tropical fruit notes. Agressive dry bitterness with the mango notes lasting

Tap at the Ballarat Beer Festival, 2018. Poured a hazy straw colour with a big frothy white head. The aroma is malt, mineral dry grassy light pine hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a malt, light fruit, dry woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Too bitter and not enough fruit.

From a 375ml bottle on 26/12/2017. Pours a clearish light golden with a small head. The aroma features lots of lychee and passionfruit, along with rockmelon, and some floral notes. The flavour is similarly fruit forward - more passionfruit and lychee, with hints of mango and peach, set of against some light biscuit malt. The hops are prominent without being overwhelming. Medium bodied with average carbonation. A delicious, moreish fruity IPA. I will definitely get again.

Can. Clear gold with a small and rapidly vanishing white head. 3-Pretty bald pine and lemon blossom aroma, some tropical fruit. 7+ Fullish bodied, very low carbonation makes me think something's gone a bit wrong. But it's fine. Sweet with hayish malt. Clean with stinging pine resin, zesty citrus and pretty high bitterness. Sweet, a bit crude and the alcohol is getting towards showing - but it's bright, clean and tasty.
