From a 500ml can on 25/1/2020. Pours a cloudy straw colour with a small head. The nose is citrussy and tropical. Tastes sweet and fruity, with orange, peach, mango and melon, as well as a good dash of coconut. The bitterness is gentle and the finish slightly dry. Has a slightly creamy mouthfeel and average carbonation. Tasty enough but lacks a bit of punch for mine.

An excellent hazy - aromas of passionfruit, pineapple, orange peel and pine. Drinks well, goes down very smoothly for a six percenter.

From a 375ml can on 30/11/2019. Pours a clear medium golden with a small uneven head. Has a mild,indistinct fruity hop aroma. Offers some sweet caramel malt and a moderate hop finish which is slightly metallic. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. A pretty lifeless and forgettable representation of the style.

500ml can into pint glass. Thanks to Ratebeer and Beer cartel. Yet another NEIPA, translucent orange/amber beer with a solid crown of white foam atop. Nice nose, lots of fruit (mango, orange most prominent). Lightly carbonated, smooth texture. Very drinkable. Finish is like an Orange Cream biscuit with some late lingering pepper. Really fresh, great beer.

Can. Almost opaque brownish orange with a 1/2 white head. Tropical fruit aroma is more floaty than punchy with an orange and lime touch to keep it from being too fruit punch-like. Soft texture with wheat and crackers, lowish carbonation. Lots of fruit with some grass and very light herbal notes coming in to joint pineapple astringency at the finish. The astringency is gentle, the bitterness gentler. Looking across at my review for their normal Hazy to find it's very similar (though the aroma popped more on that and the flavours seem better integrated here). I'm still not really sold on this sub style but this is very good. [Despite the reference to saying cheers to homegrown talent, none of M. Young, A. Young, B. Scott, B. Johnson or C. Walsh were born here.]

Can. Hazy yellow. Lychee and mango nose (but not huge). Juicy, but again, surprisingly restrained. Fine, but not exciting. Expecting a higher voltage effort.

From a 500ml can on 19/10/2019. Pours a hazy deep golden with a smallish white head which disappears quickly. Has a very light dank fruit aroma. Tastes of pineapple, mango and passion fruit with a gentle bitterness at the back. The palate is silky and the carbonation moderate to average. Not overly exciting but decent and tasty enough.

Can from my parents: pours light orange with a white head. Aroma is lightly citrusy with some gentle maltiness. Taste is lightly fruity. Somewhat sweet. Very simple.

Deep golden with a little haze. Enormous pineapple nose. Backs it up with explosion of hoppy flavours. Action packed. Best beer I've had from these guys.

From a 500ml can on 9/9/2019. Pours a slightly hazy deep golden with a biggish white head. Has a strong tropical fruit salad nose. In the mouth, it's nice and sweet, dominated by mango and pineapple with a very mild spicy bitterness in the background. Full bodied with moderate carbonation. Simple but really nicely balanced and super smashable for the size. This is the first Balter I really rate. Way better than their standard hazy and normal IIPA for mine.
