Can. Opaque yellowish orange with a soon gone white head. Aroma of tropical fruit, herbs, light crackers. Getting towards watery. Fruity with coconut, pineapple, some citrus, weedy herbs. Tails off a bit with low bitterness. Quite refreshing. Not really my sort of thing.

It has a big whack of pine jumping out of the glass, plus some passionfruit and bread. It's nicely balanced in the mouth - smooth as silk, with good length. A cracking WCIPA.

Aroma of burnt toast, milk arrowroot biscuit and grass. Caramel and grapefruit pop up in the mouth as well. Nice, but none of the malty notes really hit when tasted. It's the grass, biscuit and grapefruit that linger the longest.

That's going to a lot of trouble for a fart joke. Well done. Can. Dark reddish brown with a light tan head. Roasty aroma with some singed caramel, mocha, weeds. So it tastes. Quite sweet, fairly roasty. Could have used a little more bitterness but not bad at all. Very drinkable.

Can. Just misted gold with a cm of so of loosish white head. Engaging gooseberry, under-ripe tropical fruit and citrus peel aroma with some crackers. Light bodied, could have used a few more bubbles. Gooseberries, lime and crackers - just enough sweetness followed by just about enough bitterness. Pretty good.

Can. Misted gold with a small white head. Shyish aroma of kumquats, light biscuit, lime leaf, orange blossom. Fairly light bodied. A bit empty under the hops, but they are more expressive than suggested by the aroma. Taut citrus mainly, with a dry and fairly bitter finish.

Draft at the Baths, Middle Brighton. Golden colour with a white head. Aroma and taste are light citrus fruity. And slight sweet. Crisp body.

19/10/2022. Can from icons in the food area at Melbourne Airport T4. Pours hazy pale orange with a small frothy white head. Aroma and taste of passion fruit and mango. Super sourness developed. Very nice. My farewell to Melbourne beer.

Can. Got to this one a bit late - bb was April - but tends not to matter too much with this sort of thing. More brown than red with a cream head. Aroma of gentle cherry vinegar, oak, a little touch of the forest floor. Quite soft textured with gentle sourness and an oaked finish. Pretty good.

Got a bit of a dark lager vibe with grapefruit, chocolate, stonefruit and caramel. It's got some strong citrusy notes in the mouth that throw off the balance a little - could have done with a bit more malt
