Tap at tilt. A hazed pinkish red coloured pour with a pinkish fine head. Aroma is odd, wet dog, funky, onion, hairspray, onion. Flavour is composed of waxy wheat, some berries, odd, chive. Mineral. Palate is bitty, pithy, fine carbonation. I did not enjoy.

330ml can from lowcostbeer, 4 weeks past BBE Look - fairly pale hazy gold, minor head, some spattering of retention but doesn't last. Aroma - big citrus notes, some passionfruit, homebrew white wine and yeast. Taste - yep very sour, some passionfruit and pineapple tropical notes, yeasty, some sweetness to offset. Tangy sour finish. Palate - medium body, oily, zingy carbonation. Not a big fan of this, looks a bit lifeless, the aroma reminds me of my bad attempts at homebrew white wine and its a bit sour. On the other side of it there are some decent flavours going through.

330ml can 1 month past BBE. Murky dark gold, moderate sized white head, good retention. Aroma is dominated by a fruity yeast, touch of citrus. Taste is fruity and yeast driven, sweet, citrus tang, tropical and stone fruits. Tangy finish with mild bitterness. A slightly above medium body, with a soft carbonation. This has a good level of complexity.

330ml can. Hazy amber, small off-white head, some retention. Aroma is very yeasty and earthy, some coffee and caramel; its different but it doesn't make want to drink it. Taste is yeasty and sweet with caramel, coffee and cardboard. Strong earthy-coffee bitterness in the finish which could wake a dead horse. Unusual, not bland, but ultimately not that tasty either although when the palate gets used to it you do notice the complexity here.

Can from lowcostbeer.com, 2 months past BBE. Light cloudy gold, small white head, some retention and lacing. Aroma of tea, doughy malts, grape, rye. Taste of tea which is dominant. Some sweetness is present, rye, some fruit and earthiness from the hops. Near medium bodied and holds its flavour well, zingy carbonation. Not too keen at first but it grew on me. Something a little different is always good.

Can from lowcostbeer.com, consumed 6 weeks past BBE. Pours a cloudy orange, small tight off white head, notable sediment. Looks good. Aroma is malty, dough, bitter orange, pine, earthy. OK. Taste of bread, caramel, orange zest, pineapple, pine and zesty bitterness, not too resinous which is good. Nice. Medium to full bodied, zingy carbonation whereas softer finer carbonation would have worked better. Quite good.
