A cracking red IPA with loads of flavour and a great body. Aromas of biscuit, malt, cream and pine needles. Similar flavour. Could drink this all night, but that would not be wise at 6 percent.

Schooner on tap at Club Rivers, River wood. Red/brown beer with creamy white head. Nice lacing. Nose is grass, fruit juice, a little pepper. Taste is sweet and fruity, finish is initially bitter with a little malt and fruit later on. Really easy to drink at 6%! Delicious too.

From a 330ml can on 1/10/2017. Pours a deep red amber with a smallish head. The features cirus hops and a bit of caramel. The flavour features caramel and biscuit malt, some stone and dried fruit, which is met by quite a fierce, resiny, dry bitterness. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Definitely not boring, but could use a bit more sweetness to balance the hops.

Tap at Mrs Parma’s, Melbourne. Poured a hazy reddish amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is malt, light fruit, light hop. The flavour is moderate bitter light sweet with a soft grainy malt, citrus fruit, light floral, resin metallic hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Can (good graphic art). Clear amber with a large pale beige head that lasts pretty well. Aroma of sticky bread crusts, bitter oranges, passionfruit, pine, some spices. Medium bodied, carbonation is moderate. Sweet but not lush with the hops having only a little struggle to cut through. SOme of the fruit melds with the caramel, some of it saws through. Finish is a bit stewed fruit with pine and medium high bitterness - seems a bit muddled. Caramel with mosaic (I presume) can be a bit sickly. This red IPA/ hoppy amber is less my sort of thing these days but this is pretty good.

Pours dark amber with a small head.Nose shows caramel, cookie dough-like malt, piny and resinous hops.Flavours include toasty and bready malt, piny and spicy hops and an assertive bitterness.
