From a 355ml can on 26/9/2019. Pours a murky golden with a smallish head. Has a quite a strong cirtus fruit and peel aroma. Tastes very juicy with loads of fruit. It's medium sweet but with a decent spicy, peely bitterness to it. The balance and length are there in spades. Medium bodied with average carbonation. A truly excellent NEIPA.

Can. An unclear golden beer with a lazing yellowish head. The aroma has notes of exotic fruits, malt, and hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of exotic fruits, hops, straw, and malt, leading to a bitter finish.

Tap (Cherry Tree Hotel, Melbourne). Completely hazy, yellow colour. Delicate white-greyish head, good lacing. Fresh, fruity, hoppy on the nose. Fruity with medium, resin bitterness, a little bit astringent at the end. Medium body, dry, smooth with delicate sweetness in aftertaste. Good IPA but could be more juicy than hoppy and bitter.

Tap at the Rainbow Hotel, Melbourne. Poured a hazy straw colour with a frothy white head. The aroma is grassy hop citrus. The flavour is moderate sweet, light bitter with a dry, fresh, light tart crisp lemon citrus palate and a light sweet citrus finish. Fresh and fruity. Awesome.

Can. Pours like a broken sewer with a head on it (as is the style, but still). Aroma of pineapple, orange, wheaty dough. 7 And that’s pretty much how it tastes too - like freshly extracted as much as squeezed juice, some not entirely focused malty backing. Not clean. Finish is moderately bitter and slightly astringent. Not sold on these (yet).

A really delightful beer with All Of The Hops. It looks like a frothy grapefruit juice and has a fair bit of grapefruit in the aroma as well, along with lemon, peach and apricot. I get tangerine or mandarin in the mouth. Beautifully balanced, great length. A real pleasure.
