330ml can via Beer52: BB 23rd Mar 2022. Drank at home on 8th Jan 2021. Clean golden body, thin white crust of bubbles on top. Slight citrus nose, malty flavour and mildly sweet to taste. Easy drinking Pale Ale that isn't going to test your senses too greatly.

Can: Poured a golden with a white head. Aroma is perfume, fruity, some citrus zest. Taste is sweet with loads of malts, not much else going on.

Draft. A golden beer with a lazing white head. The aroma has notes of hops, flowers, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of hops, flowers, and malt, leading to a bitter finish

On tap at the brewery. Pours gold. Biscuit, pear, lemon, perfumed stuff, orange. Seems to be in line with the Australian pale ale style, but it's a style I'm yet to be on board with.

(Bottle) Pours clear mid amber brown with tiny white head. Nice aroma - orange, pine. Nice palate - light to medium body with good carbonation. Interesting and pleasant taste. There’s plenty of peppery spice along with some light citrus fruity flavour over some subtle light malt. Pleasant enough, but doesn’t quite seem properly balanced to me.

Tap at the brewery. Poured a crystal clear medium amber with a thin white head. The aroma is malt, light grassy citrus hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a light fresh crisp, light fruit, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. A solid session beer.

330ml bottle into schooner glass. Mild citric nose. Cloudy amber beer with solid frothy white head. Watery body, bitter taste and finish. Not a lot of complexity here. Reminiscent of the ’Macro/craft’ Aussie pale ales which are everywhere at the moment.

On tap at Moon Dog, pours a clear golden yellow with a medium white head. Aroma brings out biscuity malt and light piney hops. Flavour is crisp, with lots of crisp crackery malt and bone dry punchy hopping. Dry and balanced, with lots of punch. Good stuff.

From a 330ml bottle on 8/5/2016. Pours a clearish golden with a small head. The aroma features some melon and lychee, with a bit of honey. In the mouth, the malt is bready and biscuity, with melon, lemon and honey. The bitterness is quite sharp, and even the touch salty. Medium bodies with prickly carbonation. Quite unusual, and has a bit going on, but just doesn’t quite come together enough to impress.
