Bottle. Orange with an inch of white head that fades to a coat. Quite low bead. Aroma of mandarins, light dough, white pepper. There’s fruit in the taste but there’s more spice - some coriander and cloves as well as the pepper - than suggested by the aroma and the dry finish rushes right up. Alcohol is indeed dangerously well-hidden. Deep and meaningful is neither promised nor delivered: it’s just fun.

From a 330ml bottle on 18/1/2011. Pours mahogany with virtually no head. Has a mild aroma of caramel, coffee, roasted malt and a touch of fruit. Flavour wise, there’s lots of dark chocolate, with a good dash of bitterness. A good, solid porter which tastes bigger than 4.5%.

Tap. Clear amber with a dense white head. Harsh hoppy aroma of citrus, window cleaner, a hint of wheat. Thinnish body that doesn’t really suggest wheat. Some caramel and a combination of wheaty and grapefruit sourness. Not really a hop-accented twist on a wheat beer at all - just a hoppy could-be-anything. Unusually crude for a Murray’s beer.

From a 330ml bottle on 5/12/2010. Has a big fruity (lots of lychee), floral, piney hop aroma. Starts with sweet caramel malt, followed by an array of fruits, particularly ornage, passionfruit and grapefruit. Has an appropriately long and firm hop kick. An excellent IPA, let down only by the carbonation, which is a little excessive for my liking. Great to see an Aussie brewer making a beer with this much character.

Bottled, thanks baggio! Hazy pale amber, rich firm head. Aroma of sweaty grapefruit and gooseberry. Very sweet, bit fruity, near full bodied with dense mouthfeel. Cookie malt and orange marmelade. Growing late bitterness. Nice tropical fruit flavours, but too sweet.

Pours black with a large lasting tan head.Nose shows lots of chocolate, roasted malt and espresso. Quite sweet.Flavours include lots more roasted malt and a little dark chocolate. Again, quite sweet, with only a faint roasty bitterness on the finish.Carbonation is very high (Murray’s seem to do this a lot) .
