I'm not going to give extra points for it, but the clear statement of origin and ownership is much appreciated. Can. Clear orangish amber with a good inch of white head that lasts pretty well. Aroma of stone fruit, light tropical fruit and biscuit then lime swoops in. Moderately sweet and clean with light biscuit and some grain, then fruity with feijoa, peach and lime before a fairly bitter finish.

A nice combo aroma of orange, pineapple, biscuit, caramel and vanilla is very inviting. The hops are a bit more agricultural in the mouth, overwhelming the more subtle notes.

Can. Golden amber, pretty much clear with an inch of white head. Aroma of citrus and just ripe tropical fruit. Sweetish and just a little fruit cup-like for me with mandarin, passionfruit, pineapple. Pretty bland malt. A little coconut, but the Sabro note is not excessive - not really welcome either, but still. Clean with modest bitterness. Sizzles initially but then kind of tails off a bit.

Schooner on tap at The White bull, Armidale. Pours a hazy amber with a thin white head. Inviting nose of sweet malt and bready grain. Light body, good solid blast of hops. Bitter finish with peppery notes. Easy drinking quaffer, goes down easy.

Can. Clear orange with a fading inch of white head. More tropical than citrus aroma really, with lots of mango, some passionfruit and grapefruit, light biscuit. Sweet and rather bland with lolly-like fruit before a moderately bitter finish. Doesn't offer much for 7%.

From a 375ml can on 20/7/2021. Pours a clear medium golden with a smallish head. Smells of sweet malt with some light fruit. The taste features sweet citrus fruit, and a bit of biscuit malt, finishing with a moderate bitterness. Medium body with average carbonation. It's not very West Coast in style to be honest, and I've had plenty of APAs with more punch. Rather lifeless and generally underwhelming.

Aromas of passionfruit, pineapple, coconut and orange tang. The tang stands out on tasting, with some lemon also combining with the other flavours. Quite a unique NEIPA.

(Can) Pours cloudy golden with small white head. Great aroma of mango and passion fruit. Great mouthfeel with smooth medium body and plenty of fine, soft, bright carbonation. Great taste too. Plenty of fresh fruit up front - mango and passion fruit. This follows through into to the mid palate where some subtle sweetness appears, only to be followed by a growing hoppy bitterness giving an excellent bitter finish. Very enjoyable.

From a 375ml can on 7/11/2020 (shared by Butz with thanks). Pours a clear medium golden with a medium head. Has a reasonably bright fruity nose with a dash of pine and resin. Has some sweet citrus and stone fruit up front, which is met by a quite blunt bordering on harsh bitterness featuring resin and chemicals. The mouthfeel is a touch oily, the carbonation moderate. I thought their original IIPA was just okay and this is not as good. A bit underwhelming.
