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.

375ml can into pint glass. Pours a very dark red/brown with a foamy cream-coloured head. Nose is fruit, cocoa, and distant coffee. Full body, smooth texture. Some patchy lacing. Surprisingly easy to drink at 7%. A bit of sweet fruit, some bitter coffee notes and a hint of chocolate to finish. Nothing spectacular but a nice solid stout.

Can. Just hazy pale gold with a modest white head. Aroma of passionfruit, grapefruit, herbs, underripe mango. 7+ Light bodied and rather fizzy. Quite sweet with soft biscuity malt and tropical fruit, then slightly resinous bitterness at the off dry finish. The bitterness builds after a few swigs and I liked the balance better - seemed less fruit punch-like. Solid drop.

Tap at Beer de Luxe, Federation Square, Melbourne. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a thin white head. The aroma is malt, big dry woody resin hop. The flavour is moderate to strong bitter with a dry crisp malt, nettle, piney resin hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

375ml can into schooner glass. Aromas of rockmelon, grass, spice and a little malt. Hazy golden amber beer with many fine bubbles, thin frothy head. Some patchy lacing. Good body, excellent mouthfeel. Bitter and zingy at first. Finish is long and dry with notes of caramel and grassy herbs. Right at the end you're left with the impression of (very) expensive mineral water and bitter lemon. Well balanced and delicious.
