From a 440ml can on 26/4/2020 (abv listed as 6.1%, shared by Butz with thanks). Pours a clearish amber with a small. The nose is malty, nutty and a bit herbal. Tastes a bit the same as the aroma, but not overly sweet or well rounded. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Just drinkable but doesn't do it for me on any level.

500ml can from Near & Far. Pours hazy gold. Citrus nose (but not big). Thick mouthfeel. All rather sedate relative to expectation. Slightly muddied juiciness.

On tap at Belgian Beer Cafe Melbourne. Almost clear golden with a white head. Aroma of hops, grass, some yeast and bread. The same in the taste, also some spices. A refreshing one in the hot weather.

On tap at Beermash, pours a clear gold with a ring of white head.  Nose is sweaty and lemony off the top, under ripe pineapple.  Flavor is less sour than the nose lets on, more pinapple, some herbs now, a clear grainy sort of buckwheat character.  Finishes medium bodied and low acid.  Interesting.  8 4 6 3 13

Can, 7.0% ABV. The label features a goblin apparently taking a shit in a keg which - gosh - is jolly edgy. Opaque brownish orange with a quickly vanishing white coat. Interesting aroma of grapefruit, green papaya, oranges, lime, herbs. I doubt this version (canned 14 Jan) is mostly Simcoe (if at all). Light bodied, lowish carbonation. Fruity but barely sweet with an initial Fruit Tingles citrus feel followed by under-ripe tropical fruit and a dry moderately bitter finish. Really good.

From a 440ml can on 2/2/2020 (shared by Butz with thanks). Pours a hazy medium golden with a medium head. Has a strong and pleasant passionfruit aroma. The taste is more passionfruit with a bit of pineapple and a medium, slightly zesty hop finish, with some lime peel. Medium bodied with moderate to average carbonation. Very well made and enjoyable.

I tried my hardest to get a head on this one, but it's just bubbleless. Looks like a light scotch in the glass. Aromas of lemon, pine needles, a little cherry and stone fruit. The taste is dominated by pine needles and grapefruit, with that cherry appearing late. A strong but slightly unappealing finish (I hate cherry).

From a 440ml can on 3/11/2019 (shared with Butz, ABV listed as 6%). Pours a murky light golden with little in the way of head. The nose is quite pungent and fruity. On the sip, there's a good mixture of tropical and citrus, with some mild grapefruit balancing things out. The palate is slightly creamy with the lactose evident. The carbonation is moderate to average. Pretty solid if not remarkable.

Tap at Mrs Parma’s, Melbourne. Poured a hazy reddish amber colour with a round bubbly white head. The aroma is yeasty, light biscuit dough, subtle cherry fruit. The flavour is moderate to light sour, with a light, crisp, mineral, juicy, light cherry palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation. Rather drinkable. Not too tart or sour. Fine for a session if this floats your boat.
