From a 375ml can (shared by Butz with thanks). Why they are marketing this as an IIPA at 7.4% is anyone's guess. The nose is light caramel malt, but largely indistinct. Has a muted caramel/toffee malt flavour, a bit of citrus sweetness, with a modest bitterness (the 70 IBU doesn't ring true). Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Dull and uninspiring.

On tap at Harts Pub, Sydney. Pours lightly hazed golden amber with an off white head. Aroma: biscuit malts, grass, light citrus, touch of pepper. Taste: malty, light sweet, light bitter, dry, citrus, grass. Light to medium body, moderate carb, dry citrussy finish. A little too astringent for me

Schooner on tap at K&B, Sydney. Cloudy and very pale with a thin creamy white head. Nose is funky, fruity, and savoury. Light body, refreshing. Laces well. Super easy-drinking. Understated fruity creamy ale, very nice.
