330ml bottle into schooner glass. 4.8%. Nose is stone fruit, pineapple and grape. Hazy amber beer with small but solid white head. A few bubbles. Fresh mineral taste followed by a little bitterness. Finish is excellent. Malt background with fruity hops. Cleansing, refreshing, very nice.

On tap at Beer Deluxe. Pours brown with a small head. Faint nose, or is that just the glass? Creamy oily texture, not a whole lot of taste, it takes a bit of time to develop. A bit sour, a bit bitter. But then something happens when you swallow, a wonderful burst of bitterness and fruits. Odd to drink, but not bad

Bottle. Amber with an off white head that lasts pretty well. Aroma of pine, kumquats, bread crust. Sweet with solid toffee and bread, some tropical fruit. Tenor register citrus, pine and some intriguing spice notes (pepperberry?) ooze though towards a rather bitter resinous finish. A hearty brew with lots of hops rather than the more fashionable "just enough shy pale malt to stop it from being soapy" sort IPA. Liked it, but would look for it in winter next time.

[11/14] Bottle. Hazy pale amber with a large white head that collapses to an inch. Wheaty aroma with oranges, finger lime, peach, cinnamon, wattle seed. Light creamy texture. Sweet with oranges, dough, peach, citrus. A strong blast of spices into a dry and acrid bitter finish. A bit harsh at the end for me - some burnt notes that are really quite unpleasant. Still smells good but couldn’t get anywhere near finishing it. [7 3 3 1 6=2.0][4/17] Bottle. More than fills a Duvel glass. Clear golden amber with a massive white head. High bead. Aroma of oranges, wheaty dough, wattle seed, cinnamon. Sweetish with dough and the wattle seed - which I’m not convinced goes - light citrus. Doesn’t dry out much with modest and rather indecisive bitterness - tired pepper, some cinnamon, woody notes. Not getting the supposed acclaim for this one, but a vast improvement on the last bottle.

Bottle from Craftissimo at home. Dark dull Amber pour - hazy/opaque. Thin foamy head. Aroma is bright fresh hops with some malty sweetness - pine and green mango. Taste is quite dank and musty hops, some juicy grape and citrus flavor - a bit muddled but fresh tasting. Lots of smooth malts too. Palate is sort of heavy for an IPA. Bitter and lingering boozy finish. Gets better as it warms a bit. Not bad at all.
