Can, bb 7/24. Clear amber with a white head that settles around 2cm. Citrus and tropical fruit ooze out of breadcrust. Rather sweet with caramel, some stewed fruit and grapes before tropical fruit, resin and a grind of pepper take over towards the fairly bitter finish. It doesn't really succeed in putting a juicy/ modern touch on a crystal malt throwback IPA but I still liked it fine.

Wait, they moved from the Rocks? Can. Hazy orange with a cm or so of white head. Aroma of peach, papaya, gentle orange, crackers. Sweet and fruity with a decent bitter kick but the familiar vague hazy palate is bluntening. Fair enough.

From a 500ml can on 21/6/2023. Pours a slightly hazy medium golden with a smallish head. Has a light citrus fruit nose. Dominated by orange and mandarin on the sip, with a firmish lemony finish with hints of grapefruit. Medium bodied with average carbonation. A solid, well balanced oat cream.

From a 500ml can on 20/6/2023. Pours a clearish pink with a smallish head. Has a mild berry nose. The taste is light strawberry with a mild tart finish. Lightish body with slightly prickly carbonation. Pleasant enough, but not that dessertish and could use a bit more oomph.

(Can) Pours opaque golden amber with big white head. Lovely aroma of pine, citrus with hints of stone fruit. Great mouthfeel. Full bodied, smooth and well carbonated. Great taste too. Plenty hops but restrained bitterness. A milky sweetness provides balance. Very enjoyable.
Maybe not my most adventurous checkins...but I was super curious how Shipyard brewed in Australia tastes. New England is calling for me...

At a tasting, thanks, small creamy head, clear quite dark yellow color with brown tinge, aroma of light roasted coffee with some rubber and atoasty hint, flavor of light coffee and some spiciness. Nice.
