Pours amber with a small head.Noose shows biscuity malt alongside massive spicy, floral and herbal hops. Very clean.More Marris Otter-like biscuity malt as a flavour along with heaps of spicy, piny and herbal hops.Could use higher carbonation.

Bottle. Pale amber with a white head. Aroma of kumquats, passionfruit, gooseberry, a little honeyed hay. Fairly light bodied, slightly creamy with lowish carbonation. A little caramel and plenty of citrus and tropical flavours - grapefruit as well as kumquat, lime leaf, more passionfruit than gooseberry, some honeydew melon. Fairly bitter at the end. Seems as much NZ as Australian - that Sauv Blanc-y thing comes though in spite of what is presumably mostly Galaxy. Pretty good, certainly one of the hoppier Australian beers I’ve tried.
