10/10/2022. Can from Beer Cartel. Pours very slightly hazy pale golden with a frothy white head. Aroma is hoppy, tropical, pineapple, citrus, flowers, touch of pine. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness with a slight tart edge. Medium body, average carbonation. Pretty decent.

Can. Wit-like appearance with a fading loose white head. Aroma of mandarin, pineapple, crackers, coconut. A bit watery. Fruity with a bit of a void beneath the hops before a moderately bitter finish. Decent dustcutter.

Exclusive to Dan's it seems. Can. Pretty much opaque orange with a good cm of white head. Aroma of orange, grass, pineapple, lollies. Taste is sweet and more tropical with pineapple to the fore. Citrus and some other fruit too with light grassy bitterness that's enough - along with a tiny bit of astringency - to make a tidy finish. Not too heavy but a fair bit going on. Good.

Can. Bright gold with an inch of white head. Aroma of gooseberry, candied lemon peel, crackers. Carbonation is a bit lower than I'd like. Sweetish with lots of Kiwi hops and moderate bitterness. Not quite up to the aroma but pretty good.

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.
