A banger. Aromas of chocolate, raisins, toast and a little lemon. You can really taste the bourbon in the mouth, plus those other flavours. Very boozy, but it's really beautiful. I have to keep sipping when I want to gulp.

Can. Hazy orange with a fat coat of white head that doesn't last. Aroma of wintery oranges with lesser notes of other citrus and tropical fruit. Neither overtly boozy or that vibrant. Sweet and full bodied. Lots of fruit with bitterness and some booze stopping it from being too fruit cup-like. I guess excess is its raison d'etre and it succeeds pretty well given what it is.

Aromas of pine, passionfruit, a little coconut and bread. Nice body and length with that coconut sitting nicely on the tongue. Shows its alcohol a little, but over all, a very good NEIPA.

Can. Amber, very brief white head. 3- Aroma of grilled stone fruit, some mango, breadcrust. A broader and more vibrant array of fruit upon a taste, with plump stone fruit, somewhat stinky tropical fruit and sharpening citrus before a fairly bitter finish where pine peeks out a tad.

I thought Melbourne late winter sunsets were due to pollution trapped by an inversion layer. Can. Pretty hazy orange with a brief white head. 3- Aroma of lemon and lime lollies, some melon and passionfruit. So it tastes until a bit of resin and herbs some through towards a moderately bitter and slightly astringent finish. Fun but a little disjointed.

Can. Black. A tan head is soon gone. Aroma is roasty and chocolaty with toffee, vanilla, hints of banana. Very sweet with overt lactose. Straining roast, vanilla, chocolate, bitterness that struggles. Not really my sort of thing.

Canned 10/8. Amber with a good cm of fluffy white head. Aroma of pine, pineapple, peach, mango skin. bread. Barely medium bodied. Some passionfruit and red berries in the taste too, which is dryish despite the sweet seeming fruity hops with some light spices at the moderately bitter end. Should have a bit more grunt at 8%? Eh, it's very nice.
