Bottle at Taps Beer Bar, Changkat. Poured a hazy straw colour with a thin white head and a little broken lace. The aroma is skunky malt, light toffee, woody hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a crisp woody bitter hop palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Bottle. Love the throwback label design. Clear amber with an inch of white head. Toasty and slightly earthy with citrus - orange, kumquat, lime - and hints of tropical fruit. Nice but not that vibrant. Tastes as it smells. Not that sweet, quite fruity, a little thinner than expected. A bit of a boiled orange character to the citrus. Refreshing, easy going.

Pint on tap at Young & Jackson. Stonefruit nose, some pepper. Hazy golden beer with small white head. Medium carbonation. Zingy with a light body. Finish has grapefruit and orange rind. Nice enough, bit of a lightweight.

From bottle (McCoppins, Fitzroy). Resin and herbs on nose. Pours black with some head. Very thin in mouth. Bitterness not as balanced as I hoped and lack of a strong malt profile makes for a off kilter effort.

Bottle. Dark brown with an inch of tan head. Aroma of kumquats, nectarine, some pineapple, pine, bread. Maybe there’s a little cocoa, but one of those ... Perhaps there’s a little singed huskiness in the taste, but again it’s mostly bread under lots of fruity hops. Very clean, slightly peppery too at the fairly bitter finish. Agreeable but perhaps lacks a bit of character.

Bottle. Hazy gold with a white head. Bright aroma of grass, passionfruit, melon and mandarins. Kiwi and Oz hops or just Kiwi? Light bodied, slightly sherbetish texture. Light wheat bread, a little earth, plenty of tropical fruit. Finish leans towards dry with moderate bitterness - just a little more would have suited me. Refreshing. This will go well.
