From a 500ml can on 7/10/2019. Pours a murky light golden with a small white head. Has a quite a distinct citrus hop aroma. The flavour features lots of citrus - orange, lemon and some grapefruit, which is a touch unusual for the style. Has bitterness is pretty firm - grapefruit again and some zest and spice. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Reasonably bold yet quite quaffable. Pretty good.

500ml can. Opaque gold with a cm of white head. Aroma of lime leaf, green mango, crackers, some menthol and herbal notes. A taste reveals this is not the normal sweet sludge: it's fairly dry with both ripe and under-ripe tropical notes and quite focused (albeit not very prominent) malt before decisive bitterness

(Can) Pours hazy amber with small white head. Aroma is pine with notes of citrus and hints of barnyard. Light bodied with plenty of lively carbonation. Taste from start to finish is led by hops from pine at the start to bitterness at the finish. There’s some caramel malt and some citrus notes hidden in there somewhere. Good drinking.

Glass on tap at Incubator, Collingwood. Subtle woody fruity nose. Cloudy amber beer, creamy white head. Subtle fruitiness, refreshing, easy drinking. Finish is quite short with touches of malt, pepper and fruit. A real quaffer with some complexity to keep it interesting.

On tap at Good Beer Week 2019 Launch Gala. Pours a very, very deep brownish red. Big pine nose. Resinous bitterness abounds but with a nice contrast of sweet maltiness. A nice exploration by the Fixation lads.
