Pours gold, large white head.
Nose shows spicy and pine hops along with clean malt and a soft ote of diacetyl.
Flavours include pine and resinous hops, super fresh tasting, along with clean malt with low sweetness, letting the assertive spicy and pine hop bitterness shine through in the finish.

Can. Nearly opaque orange with a fluffy white head. Cheerful orange, grass and tropical fruit aroma with light bread. Fairly light bodied and cleaner than it looks. Orange and pineapple joined by a little menthol towards the moderately bitter finish. Refreshing. Good, if insubstantial.

Can. Slightly more polished label design is IMHO damaging to the aesthetic. I fear what that says about me. Dark reddish brown with a cm of light tan head. Aroma is roasty with caramel, some gentle earth spices. Upon a taste the earthy notes are coffee. Seems drier as you drink it but not without body and a slight richness before a moderately bitter finish. Is what it wants to be.

330ml can into glass. From South Melbourne markets. Red/pink beer with a thin white head. Nose is sweet cherry with a touch of malt. Very light carbonation. Tastes like cherry cough medicine. Slightly sour finish. Very lightweight.

Can. Unclear orange with a cm of white head. Aroma of pine, breadcrust, grapefruit, some mango. A little less pine heavy upon a swig, with clean light bread, citrus. Dryish and fairly bitter at the end. Hoped for a little more but pretty good.

Can. Excellent graphic art as usual. Murky yellowish light tan with a thick white head. Mild aroma of Meyer lemon, passionfruit, some lime leaf, crackers. More defined in the taste with juicy but sharp citrus and tropical notes before a fairly bitter and somewhat green finish. Liked the finish. Pretty good.

A sumptuous porter with some nice citrus kick. Aromas of chocolate, caramel, coffee, chicory, honey and toast. There's a challenging lemon flavour in the mouth which gives it an extra dimension. I love it.

Nice full-bodied pale ale. Nice pine aroma with a bit of mango, cantaloupe and lime. Solid biscuity malt flavour underpins the hops in the mouth.

Can. Unclear pale amber with a a 2cm white head. Appropriately coiled aroma with punchy grapefruit, pine needle and underripe tropical fruit sitting on very light bread. Then the malt is a little softer than guessed and the fruit as well as the resin and spicy notes gets a chance. Which I liked but then means there's not quite enough bitterness to make it snap at the end.
