Bottle (bb 8/18 - drink fresh, huh?) Gold with an inch of white head. 3+ Vibrant aroma of tropical (passionfruit, pineapple) and citrus fruit, pine, some woody herbal notes (not quite chives). Light bodied, well shy of watery. Clean with hay and a very little caramel under the hops which are a pleasant balance of fruit, pine and herbs. Bitterness is there but is not rasping, which suits it pretty well. As is the case with almost all these so called SIPAs I wouldn't want more than one at a sitting because it gets to feeling a little vacant after 2/3 of a glass.

From a 330ml can on 27/11/2017. Pours a medium golden with a small head. The nose is light and zesty, with citrus as advertised. Flavour wise, there's lots of orange, mandarin, lemon, and a bit of tangerine and grapfruit in the bitterness, which is fairly firm, Medium bodied with prickly carbonation. No world beater, but pleasant enough and would make pretty good drinking on a hot day.

Bottle 330ml (BB 14.02.2018). Delicate hazy, amber colour. White-yellowish, small head. Good lacing. Aroma is fresh with malts and hops note like resin, citrus, maybe not so intense like I expected but very nice. Malts and medium, citrus-resin bitternes are good balanced. Beer is dry, medium body but light with a little bit astringent finish, refreshing, tasty in overall.

Tap (The Catfish, Melbourne). Hazy golden colour with delicate, grey head. Aroma is intense with citrus and resin notes. Bitterness medium to high with resin character, long in time, a little bit astringent. Beer is medium body with note of alcohol but quite drinkable. Really nice, agresive iipa.

On tap at a restaurant. Pours orange. Orange, peach, chalk. That minerality is overpowering for me for the style. Not great.

Can. Only slightly hazy gold with a poorly retained white head. 3- Aroma of blood oranges, grapefruit, old passionfruit, pineapple. Light bodied, fizzy. Lots of fruit - as much pineapple as citrus - not a whole lot of beer apart from a decent whack of bitterness at the somewhat astringent and herbal end. A bit "fruit cup with a tiresomely abrasive finish" really.

On tap at Beer Deluxe, Sydney. Slightly cloudy beer with thin white head. Light carbonation. Nutty hoppy nose but faint. Laces well, full-bodied. Beautiful balance of fruit, hops, and malt. Easy-drinking and moreish. Excellent!
