Tap at the Boilermaker House, Melbourne. Poured a clear reddish amber with a bubbly off white head. The aroma is malt, red berry fruit, metallic hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a crisp dry fruity, light floral woody metallic hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

From a 330ml bottle on 28/4/2016. Pours a dark amber/ruby with a medium head. Has a gorgeous floral hoppy aroma, with oodles of tropical fruit (mango and lychee). Taste wise, you get a good whack of caramel, some sweet citrus and stone fruit (orange, apricot and peach), and some relatively firm hops. Has a fullish body with moderate carbonation. The aroma and flavour don’t totally match up, but it goes down easily and all up is quite impressive.

Bottle. Darkish amber with a beige head. Aroma of toffee, pine needles, mango skin. Lightish bodied with a pleasantly creamy texture. Boiled sweet fruitiness with herbal and pine notes. Moderate but somewhat nagging bitterness. Not really my sort of thing.
