Can. Almost opaque orange with a white head. Pleasant but short of vibrant aroma of oranges, mango, passionfruit, pineapple. So it actually welcomes a little raw edge in the taste. Fruity with a moderately bitter and astringent end. Way better than their first attempt at this type of thing.

Can. Amber with a cm of white head. Aroma of fresh pine, bread, some citrus & biscuit. Just medium bodied. Manages to have hints of heartiness and malty substance without all that much sweetness or detracting from a lightly resinous bitter finish. Which makes it more refreshing than expected. Nice beer.

Nutella. That's all you need to know, really. Beautifully balanced, avoids being too sweet, which can happen with hazelnut.

Aroma of caramel, pine needles, spearmint and stone fruit are magnificent. Strong pine flavour in the mouth with lashings of that caramel. Easy drinking for an IIPA.

(On tap) Pours black with shortlived tan head. Lovely intense nutty aroma with chocolate notes. Medium body with good full carbonation. Awesome taste - very nutty with plenty of dark chocolate. Very impressive.

Pale gold with a modest white head. Aroma of grainy crackers, grass, a little wood. Very light bodied. Really nothing there until moderate bitterness and a drying woodiness at the end which detracts from refreshment. I think this might have gone better with their Reserve Rd Draught as a starting point.

Can. Very dark brown with an inch of tan head. 3+ Aroma of deep roast, cream, coffee, chocolate brioche, some citrus flowers. Poured gloopily but after the aroma doesn't signal sweet, perhaps not that surprising it's only medium bodied. The palate is solid rather than thumping (a good thing for me) with firm roast, medium roasted coffee, a slight earthiness and cocoa rather than chocolate. Again, there's a light citrusy hop touch that's not very assertive but lightens things. A good one to drink fresh IMHO.

Can from Mccoppins Fitzroy. Hazy yellow. Smells like strawberry topping. Creamy mouth with some spritz. The strawbeery isn't as sweet in mouth, with welcome sourness. Bit too gimmicky for me to return.

'Can. Point of interest here seems to be the return of Melbourne ale yeast. Gold with a modest but dense white head. Aroma is fruity and slightly biscuity with oranges, nectarines, honeydew melon. There''s a little sweetness before a big swerve towards dry and a surprising touch of resin with the finishing bitterness. That almost brusque finish will make it a good hot weather beer. '
