375ml can into glass. Black beer with tan-coloured head. Smells of sweet milky coffee. Smooth texture, very easy to drink. Coffee bitterness leading into the finish. Lingering finish with some dark fruit and more coffee. Too much coffee for my tastes, I just don't like the taste of coffee.

375ml can into pint glass. Wonderful nose of bread, fruit, and doughnut. Pours a cloudy amber with a clingy bubbly white head. Crisp and bitter to taste. Finish is lingering stonefruit bitter. Nice, easy to drink but not as complex (or 'in your face') as some Saisons.

Pint on tap at brewery. Pours a clear golden colour with high fine carbonation and a foamy white head. Good lacing. Nose is understated malt and hops. First impression is clean and refreshing. Finish is clean with nutty hints and late resin and bitter lemon. Really easy to drink, really tasty. Good solid IPA.

Schooner on tap at Club Rivers, Riverwood. 6%. Golden amber beer with a thin white head. High fine carbonation. Nose is more doughy malt than fruit. Good lacing. Taste is lightly bitter and, sure enough, there is a delicious pineapple finish. Super easy drinking, quality quaffer.

Glass on tap at GABS, Sydney. Brown beer with a thin white head. Very little nose. Lightly sparkling, fruity. Dry finish with dark fruit. Getting better as it warms, chocolate, spice notes appear. Very nice.

From a 375ml can on 7/5/2019. Pours a clearish deep golden with a small head. Has a very modest aroma for an imperial - just a bit of faint caramel and fruit. It's a bit more intense flavour wise - lots of sweet citrus and stone fruit, with a decent dash of slightly resiny herbal hops. Has a slick palate and moderate carbonation. Tasty enough but not particularly distinctive or memorable.

Pint on tap at Club Rivers, Riverwood. Golden honey colour with a foamy white head. High fine carbonation. Excellent sticky nose of tropical fruit and wood shavings. Sparkly, effervescent. Good lacing. Taste and finish are intense fruit with late herbal notes. Full-bodied and lush. Excellent beer, well made.

From a 500ml can on 2/4/2019. Pours a clear pale golden with a small head which disappears quickly. Has a a faint peachy, vinous smell. The flavour is primarily peach, with a little pear, and finishes with a slightly tart, vinous, lemony, dry bitterness. Lightish bodied with spritzy carbonation. Drinkable enough but uninspiring.

On tap at Hopfest #13 at Alehouse Project. Pours Clear and yellow with finely beaded white nose. Stonefruit nose. Lovely and dry with the peach very much front and centre. This is better than most bruts I've endured.
