440ml can from brewery at 4.5%. Very slight hazy gold, small white head. Aroma of citra hops evident with lemon, lime and herb notes, light grassy note. Taste of light pale malts, citrus, grapefruit, herbs, decent moderate long bitter with a chewy citrus finish. Light body but it coats the palate and is not watery, quite dry. Decent session IPA

440ml can from brewery, mine with Citra and Amarillo hops. Hazy yellow-gold with small white head leaving a thin but consistent top and lacing. Aroma is citrus, peach, yeast, light toasted pale malts. Taste is a semi-tangy citrus, melon, peach, lager malts. Just shy of medium body with the addition of oats, soft to zingy carbonation. Quite good.

330ml draft into a bottle from lowcostbeer @6.5%. Clear amber with small semi-creamy off-white head. Cats piss aroma with orange, stone fruit and herbs. Taste is a little disappointing at first with more of a sweet malty-orange backbone, some interesting floral resin chewiness, tropical notes emerge in the finish with a nice bitterness after a few sips. It does grow on you after a while. Body fuller than your average non-double IPA, nice carbonation. Decent.

440ml can @ 6%. Cloudy amber with big off-white fluffy head; certainly looks the part. That banana like creamy yeast note is very evident in the aroma with quite a bit of allspice. Toasty malts, quite sweet, spices, banana and light bitterness. Medium bodied, slightly chewy. Its a good attempt at the Belgium style, quite tasty although at 6% its almost like a session-dubbel!

Can from Connelly's Wine Merchants, online. Pours a murky purple with small pink tinged head, decent retention for a sour. Aroma of blackberries, blackcurrant, grains, light yeastiness, yoghurt. Semi-sweet. Taste is fruity tartness, yoghurt, oats, cereal, citrus zest. Semi-sweet, light bodied, dry finish, mild sourness. Needs more in the finish but its a good fruity beer.
