Aroma of black treacle, liquorice, coffee, chocolate, roasted malt, nut, oat, vanilla, hint of soy and almond. Medium sweetness and moderate roasted bitterness. Moderate body, oily watery, quite fizzy. Nice aroma.

Can. Not quite opaque golden amber with a cm+ white head. 3+ Aroma of pineapple, mango, papaya, mandarin, bread, hints of menthol. Smooth, juicy texture. Not chalky. Less fruity than suggested by the aroma with sharper citrus and less tropical fruit. Some slight astringency at the just bitter finish. Alcohol is not overt but you'd not be surprised by its strength. Pretty good stuff.

440ml can into schooner glass. From Cellarbrations, Inverell. Cloudy amber beer with thin foamy white head. Citric fruit nose, some stonefruit. Full body, smooth texture. Viscous and sweet, like a slightly bitter alcoholic mango juice. I like this beer a lot, the best beer from this brewery.

440ml can into tumbler. From Cellarbrations, Inverell. Pours a cloudy pale amber with light carbonation and a dissipating white bubbly head. Typical Belgian aroma. Sour fruit, hint of malt and spice. Zingy, refreshing, fruity, very easy to drink. Doesn't look the best but tastes great.

440ml can into schooner glass. From Cellarbrations, Inverell. Pours a pale amber with high carbonation and a large frothy white head. Light fruit aroma, mild malt. Crisp, bitter, easy-drinking. Long lingering drying bitter finish. Standard APA, nice nonetheless.

From a 440ml can on 10/1/2021. Pours a slightly hazy medium golden with a medium head. Has a strong and pleasant tropical fruit aroma. The flavours are quite assertive - lots of pineapple and mango, along with a good dash of peach, followed by a firmish zesty, tangy citrus bitterness, which provides it with great balance. The mouthfeel is silky, the carbonation moderate. Unusual, full of character and extremely tasty. My first crack at a West City beer and this one's outstanding.
