An aggressive, full-throttle IPA loaded with citrus, tropical fruit and resinous hop character. Smooth malt backbone, lingering bitterness, and a payload of aroma that locks on and doesn’t let go.

Level 42 Bottleshare. Thanks to Tips for the can. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, fairly dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft airy malts, trace of dry creamy sweetness. Bitter spicy orange, tangerine and a trace of lemon. Pithy dry soft bitter finish. Okay, soft bodies but the flavour is spiky.

(Can) Pours cloudy amber with thin loose short-lived white head. Great aroma with strong pine notes with fruity citrus hints. Medium body with medium carbonation. Plenty of hops from start to finish, but not over the top in bitterness, and foretaste want as fruity as aroma suggested. The hops sit over a pleasant backbone of biscuity malt giving some gentle sweetness. It’s hop driven.

Tap at the Boilermaker House, Melbourne. Poured a slightly hazy straw colour with a long-lasting thin white head. The aroma is malt, weedy, tropical citrus fruit. The flavour is moderate bitter light sweet with a smooth, crisp, fresh, zesty lemon citrus palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Loads of fruit, smooth and with well hidden alcohol.

Can from Brewcraft at home. Hazy bright golden yellow pour with minimal white head and some fine sediment. Aroma is bright lemon juice and citrus sourness. Taste is tart and lemony with some slight farm flavor too. Quite refreshing in a sour way. Bubbly palate and a lasting citrus sour bitterness. Seems like a lighter beer than it is - in a good way.

375ml can from Beer Cartel, Sydney. Hazy orange golden colour, bubbly white foam head and aroma of tropical fruits and floral citrus. Taste is malt caramel, with passionfruit, citrus, grapefruit, pine and hoppy bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry tangy bitter finish. Nicely drinkable.

On tap at The Grain Store Beer Cafe, pours a cloudy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of dank hops, with lots of pine and biscuity malt. Flavour brings out loads of piney hops, some light tropical fruits like guavas and just enough biscuity malt. Fresh and super piney and tropical. Fantastic.

From a 330ml bottle on 8/12/2015. Pours a hazy light golden with a smallish head. Has a lovely, strong tropical fruit hop aroma. Flavour wise it’s very sweet up front with oodles of apricot, peach, melon, honey and marmalade, which is more than countered by huge, grapefruity, resiny, peely sticky hops, with more than a hint of rye and spice. Damn this is a bitter one! Comes across as bigger than 8% to me. The texture is slick and the carbonation average. Very, very good
