Growler. Not nitro, then. And 5% ABV. Unclear golden amber with an off- white head that doesn't last. 3- Aroma of peach, light bread, citrus blossoms. A little less than medium bodied but hefty for 5%. Has some toffee to the malt side and spice to the bitter end as well as what's signaled in the aroma. Perhaps a tad sweet for my tastes but a solid biggish bitter.

Can. Dark brown with a light tan head that gradually fades to a fat coat. Aroma has chocolate and vanilla and a surprising green capsicum note - I don't mind it, but you wonder. And as well as the taste following the aroma it's thinner and drier than expected with a weedy bitterness. OK but suspect not as intended.

Can. Red with a pale pink head that fades fast. Smells of raspberries - a little hairy but mostly jammy. Light bodied. Sour enough to balance the sweetness. The berry flavours don't really shine through and there's not much else. No particular finish. A bit dull.

Can (Quarantinnies). Deep pink colour. Sickly raspberry cordial aroma. Very sweet, lolly water tastes. Not particularly sour, so insufficient balance to excite.

Can. Almost clear amber with a white had that fades to around a cm. 3+ Piney aroma with some orange (a little bit cleaning producty) and caramel. 7+ Really pretty light bodied. Carbonation just on the low side of medium which is about right for me. The malt is more biscuity than bready and the pine prominent but not as raucous as expected. Bitterness is lower than guessed too. Good, well rounded beer but doesn't quite offer enough for its strength.

Can. Slightly opaque golden, with tightly beaded white head. Grassy nose with a hint of barnyard. This is the most saison-like kveik I've supped. The fresh hops do come through in terms of the greenness, but there is loads of straw too. This would be a big shock as a purchase if you were expecting IPA!

Can. Almost clear gold with a small white head. Aroma of dried orange and lemon peel, some peach and pineapple. A bit funky and you wonder whether it will be sour - but no. Lightish bodied with rather dull crackery malt hose sweetness is enlivened by the curious citrus and herbal notes of the kveik (and I guess the fresh hops...). Moderate spiced bitterness at the end. I don't know why you'd call this an IPA.

Can from Dan Murphys, Melbourne. A bit hazy golden with a white head. Mild and easy to drink with bread, some grass and light grain. The bitterness was on the light side.

On tap at the Brewpub in Melbourne. Hazy golden/orange with a white head. Aroma of funk, grapes and oak. The same in the tart taste. A refreshing one.
