From a 500ml can on 2/11/2017. Pours a slightly hazy deep golden with the barest of heads. The aroma features some zesty and ripe fruit (passionfruit), with a hint of spice. Take a sip and you'r immediately struck by the sweetness, again ripe fruit, with peach, apricot, mango and passionfruit. However, due to a significant lack of hop punch, it's a bit one dimensional and cooler-like. Just a bit too sweet and cloying to be really enjoyable. Has a syrupy palate and average carbonation. All up, okay but somewhat flawed. Certainly not worthy of the premium price these guys charge.There are plenty of better Aussie DIPAs out there which represent far better value.

From a 500ml can on 24/9/2017 (shared by Butz with thanks). Pours a cloudy straw with a medium to biggish head. Feature a fruity, zesty, slightly spicy nose. As one expects from the style, it's very citrussy - particularly lemon and lime, along with lemongrass, passionfruit and pineapple. The hops are firmish with some grapefruit and spice. Full bodied with average carbonation. Rather tasty stronger NEIPA.

Tap at the Boilermaker House, Melbourne. Poured a clear copper colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is skunky malt, light tropical fruit. The flavour is moderate sweet light bitter with a light, crisp, fresh, woody metallic hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Tastes a little bland and mass produced. Not many flavours that I like.

Can. Black, beige head. Aroma of mild roast, grass, some mocha and earth. A fair bit of body for 5% - which is the point I guess - with a creamy rather than silky texture. Taste adds a rather dull caramel to the mix. Bitterness at the end is a mite lumpen too. Unusually joyless for MO. Not a disaster but ordinary.

Can, 10C. Black with a light tan head. Aroma of kumquat, grapefruit, pine, mocha, some brioche. Fullish texture, silky with lowish carbonation. Sweet with chocolate brioche, some nectarines, then mostly tenor register oozes out towards a moderately bitter and somewhat peppery finish. Involving and polished. (Too) drinkable but has character and some depth.
