330ml bottle. Clear, orangey, deep golden colour with average, fluffy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, snow-white head. Dusty, strawy, grainy aroma, hints of dank, scruffy biscuit. Taste is moderately bitter hoppy, the hop is able to disguise the latently present grainy, strawy and scruffy biscuity notes and adds even a touch of yellow stone fruit but doesn’t unfold really citrusy flavours. Not precisely impressive.

Hazy gold beer, thin white head. Palate is light and semi dry and has mild fine carbonation. Light and thin malts. Touches of floralness and mild citrus. Modest piney coolness. Light finish. I can’t believe anyone went to all the trouble of importing this beer all the way from Australia! I mean really? A very average golden? There are much better beers than this in Australia and if you importers don’t know what they are then give me a job and I will find them for you!

Hazy deep red - amber beer, good cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry, stinging fine carbonation. Airy malts, sweet caramel and a slight, but odd, sweet tea. Hops bring spice, pine and mild marmalade. A touch of red berry fruits before a light finish. Hops psice lingers on. Hangs together well enough.

Bottle. Light amber with an off white head. Mellow earthy and spicy aroma with bread, gentle citrus and some grapes. fairly light bodied, lowish carbonation. Bread and some toffee with a slightly surprising depth to the malty flavours. Some citrus but mainly peppery bitterness at the end. There’s something limpidly refreshing about it that I like but don’t understand. Nice beer.

From a 330ml bottle on 13/10/2013. Pours a fairly clear lightish amber with a small head. Has a light malty aroma with just a hint of fruit. In the mouth, it’s a bit of a surprise with lots of sweet stone fruit holding sway against some caramel and toffee. The hops are mild but more than sufficient to satisfy. Has a fullish body and quite lively carbonation. All up, this is a very nice amber.

From a 330ml bottle on 16/6/2013. Pours a murky dark golden with a biggish head. Has a light fruity, slightly floral aroma. The flavour features lots of sweet citrus and stone fruit, a little honey, and some bready malt and earthy notes in the background. Has a quite hoppy bitterness in there to balance things out. Has quite a full body and medium to lively carbonation. Incorrectly listed as an IPA. Actually comes across as something between and American and English pale. This is the second beer I’ve tried by this brewer, and both have been good.

From a 330ml bottle on 14/6/2013. Pours close to black with quite a big, thick head. Has a very nice aroma featuring caramel, chocolate and a bit of coffee. Taste wise, this is really impressive with rich, full sweet caramel and chocolate, licorice and another touch of coffee, followed by a strong roasty bitterness, and some distinct fruity hop notes. The palate is rich and creamy and the carbonation medium. Never heard of this brewer before but this is a damned promising start. More a black IPA than a porter. Very nice stuff indeed.
