Pint on tap at Pumphouse, Sydney. Pours a hazy amber with light carbonation. Has small but lasting white head. Sweet but light malt nose. Good lacing. Crisp taste, touches of fruit, malt, and grain. This is a nice lager, superior. Long lingering finish features some semi-sweet fruit. Easy drinking and well-made.

Can. Black with a modest tan head. Intriguing aroma of roast, mocha, berries, cream. Silky texture. Quite roasty with lots of coffee, berries and feisty grassy bitterness. Has that translucent palate you associate with good bottom fermented beers. Interesting and good.

(Can) Pours hazy deep amber brown with decent white head. Pleasant aroma - pine with grapefruit hints. Nice palate with plenty of soft carbonation. Taste is a nice balance of the citrus, toffee malt and hoppy bitterness. There nothing stand out about it, but it just all works well together.

Sampled from the tap at The Taphouse. Pours a clear straw yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces. Aroma has earthy grains and biscuit with some grass underlying. Flavor has grass, a touch of flora and sweet grains backing.

(Can) Pours cloudy pale golden with small but tenacious white head. Nice aroma - grapefruit and pine. Nice palate - light body, with good full carbonation. Taste starts a bit watery, with some muted but pleasant citrus notes and hints of pepper. Some nice hoppy bitterness slowly builds. Very drinkable.

Can. Unclear amber with a frothy white head. Aroma of kumquat, bread, light spices, peach. Not a great deal of body, quite carbonated. A little bread, slightly toasty sweetness, some peach, plenty of citrus. Firm bitterness. Plenty of punch for its strength. Not cutting edge but quite vibrant.

From can, cellared for almost a month (I have patience issues). Rum and vanilla nose. Dark brown in colour. Thin in mouth and slightly oily. Some bitterness, but overall it's at the sweet end, without a desert feel. Not super interesting.

From a 375ml can on 10/10/2018. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a small head. The nose is grassy with some light fruitiness. The flavour features a bit of biscuit, some sweet and tart citrus, and passionfruit, finishing with a moderate bitterness. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Just okay.

Pint on tap at Club Rivers, Riverwood. Amber beer with thin white head. Slight haze. Nose is guava, pineapple, orange. Good body, nice lacing. Starts tingly and refreshing, ends with grapefruit and a little balancing sweetness. Nice IPA, right on style.

Can, another looking like a durrie-sponsored 80s touring car. Amber with large off white head that fades but doesn't disappear. Aroma of bread (and a lick of caramel) with modest tropical and citrus notes. Has a cleanness that makes it very lightweight and emphasizes the dryish bitter finish. Pretty good, perhaps not as fresh as it might be.
