A solid enough IPA. Aromas of grass, pine needles and lemongrass. A pleasant bitterness and a dry finish, as advertised.

Pours gold with a large fading head.Nose shows lychee, passion fruit, spicy hops, nectarine and peach. Clean malt underneath.Flavours include a bit more of the nectarine and passion fruit, along with gentle pine and resinous hops before transitioning to and aggressive bitterness without the presence of supporting malt.

On tap at the brewery. Pours gold. Dank, pine resin, floral, lemon, grapefruit. Harsh bitter finish. Not bad but a full pint might be a bit much.

Tap at Beer DeLuxe, Federation Square, Melbourne. Poured a clear straw colour with a thin white head. The aroma is malt, grassy citrus hop. The flavour is moderate bitter light sweet with a crisp, fresh fruity, light peppermint floral hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Nice but I think the hop combination needs some work.

Clear gold with a modest white head. 3- Aroma of guava, pineapple, light spices. Not unpleasant but it’s without punch. 5+ But that’s misleading. Light bodied and fairly dry with a strongly bitter finish. Tropical and spicy notes are joined by pine needles. Let down by the aroma and for me the bitterness is a little too much for the body.
