Can. Gold, a loosish white head. Aroma of peach, light bread, grass, some mandarin and tropical fruit. But just when I'm wondering what the point of such fruity hops in a pilsner might be, the malt does turn out to be quite snappily lean and the fruity hops lean spicy at the fairly bitter end.

Can. Murky orange with a 2cm white head. Fruity aroma with citrus and some tropical fruit (pineapple and mango) but also sausage rolls with sauce. Which is weird. A bit bready, the sausage thing is there but less - is it mainly sweetness? Not a lot of spice, modest bitterness. Odd.

From a 375ml can on 4/9/2025. Pours a hazy, murky orange golden with a medium white head. The nose features zesty orange, with some tropical notes in the background. The flavour is dominated by sweet orange and peach, with a moderate to firm spicy, tangy bitterness at the back. Has a silky mouthfeel with average carbonation. A very pleasant little double hazy.

From a 440ml can on 3/9/2025. Pours a slightly hazy medium golden with a medium head. The nose features very distinct guava notes. The taste is, not surprisingly, dominated by guava as well. Finishes with a tangy light bitterness at the back. Has a silky mouthfeel and average carbonation. It presents as advertised but just doesn't work anywhere near as well as the mandarin version (or the original version) for mine.

From a 375ml can on 2/9/2025. The original Supertrooper was one of the first Australian beers to really blow me away, and many years down the track, we now get a mandarin (and guava) version! Pours a hazy deep golden with a medium head. The nose is present and fruity with more than a hint of zesty mandarin. On the sip, it decently sweet and fruity, with the mandarin giving it distinctive tang that distinguishes from the original. Also has hints of my long time fridge filler, the Blood Orange, but with a good deal more heft. That said, it's way to smashable for a 10 per center. Has a silky, almost creamy mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. Maybe not quite up there with the very best big hazies being produced here now, but excellent none the less.

Can. Pretty much opaque orange with a 2cm white head. Aroma of peach, wintery oranges, crackery dough, some tropical fruit and herbs. Soft with vague crackery malt accompanying the juicy hops. But then there's a little pine that brings things into focus a bit more towards the still vague but bitter finish. Perhaps a bit light on for a double IPA, but then... it is.

Can. Golden amber, clear with a cm of white head. 3+ Citrus and under-ripe tropical fruit aroma with light bread. Some berries in the taste too, which is clean and fairly dry with a medium-high bitter finish. Notably good value.

Schooner on tap at Club Rivers, Riverwood. Hazy light amber beer with small white head. Tropical fruit nose, guava and pineapple. Refreshing, tangy. Very tasty pale ale, full of fruit. Lovely lingering citrus, pineapple and guava. Quality Ale.

440ml can into glass. From Welders Dog, Tamworth. Pours a murky light brown with a thin creamy head. Nose is 'Cherry-ripe'. Yum, yum, yum. Lots of chocolate then a lingering sour cherry finish. Very nice, no hint of 7.3% ABV.
