Nice beer but "insanely dry-hopped" must be a bit overstated. Has a nice zesty flavour to it and the aromas are nicely fruity, but it lacks body and overall flavour intensity - it’s just too watered down. What flavour there is is actually really nice - hoppy, zesty, a little spicy and earthy with a nice and rather long bitter and grassy finish. Nice but I at 3.8% this just lasks body. Very drinkable though (obviously!)

Dark brown, overactive head. Light fudgey chocolate with some coffee accents lending roast. Straightforward roast and light chocolate, with some softer notes that aren’t quite vanilla. Ok stout, a bit too yeasty/active and the effect on the body isn’t positive.

From a 650ml bottle on 20/8/2013. Pours a cloudy, very dark golden with big lasting head. Has a beautiful aroma, with masses of fruity and floral notes, some honey, and a dash of piney hops. The flavour is dominated by sweet citrus and tropical fruit (orange, mandarin, tangerine and mango), with some honey and marmalade, set off against a light caramel malt background. It finishes off with a big, lingering hop bite, with grapefruit notes quite prominent. Has a fullish body and quite lively carbonation. This is a really impressive, beautifully balanced drop. Much more IPA than APA in style, this is just outstanding - the best Australian brew I’ve tried to date.

Pours copper with a large, lasting head.Nose shows prominent lychee, spicy hops, sweet clean malt and soft confectionery notes.Pretty aggressive flavours, some soft fruit notes but the piny, resinous and grapefruit hops quickly take over. Finishes with a sharp, aggressive, metallic bitterness.Carbonation seems pretty full-on.

Bottle. Hazy amber with a large off-white head that becomes a fat coat but never less. Aroma of peach, kumquat, lychees, pine, marijuana, bread crusts. Creamy texture with medium carbonation. Moderately sweet with darkish bread, stone and some tropical fruit. quite peppery and piney at the fairly bitter finish. Hearty but lightened towards the finish, leaving a mouthful of spicy and zesty flavours. Complete.

Notes of bread and grain, tending towards malt liquor, underpin a sort of dirty wildflower that accompanies your first whiff. On the palate, this is far thinner than you expect with a little resin and a lot of citrus, but precious too little malt for mine. It’s also a touch too dry. I do, however, like the fact that it’s a rather hoppy taste, which makes it a pretty good option for a Summer afternoon session. Nevertheless, I’d recommend that the beerboys stick to retailing rather than brewing.
