Not very hazy, not very exciting. Certainly not the GOAT. Notes of pine, grapefruit and lychee. The hops are fairly bitter, with very little tropical fruit.

From a 375ml can on 1/1/2020. Pours a clear golden with a small head. The nose features some fruit, pine and resin. Taste wise, there's some medium sweet citrus fruit against a biscuit malt background. The hops are sharpish, again with some pine and resin. Medium bodied with moderate to average carbonation. A decent if unremarkable IPA.

This is a well made IPA with lovely aromas, but it doesn't stand out. there are notes of pine, honey, peach and biscuit. In the mouth, the honey and pine prevail, but the malt backbone is slightly weak and the length is quite short. Nice but not memorable.

From a 375ml can on 26/11/2019. Pours the deepest brown with a small head. The nose gives you a bit of chocolate and vanilla. In the mouth, there's some chocolate sweetness up front, more vanilla in the middle, with the cinnamon and nutmeg in the background. Finishes with a reasonably assertive dry, spicy finish. The palate is slightly creamy and the carbonation moderate. Has a fair bit of character. Not bad at all.

Can. Clear amber with a large white head. 3+ Floral aroma with kumquats, bread crust. Pretty sweet with bread crust and some peach before tenor register citrus oozes through towards the bitter end. Solid, but bb is next month and it's worth another visit fresher.

(Can) Pours Black with huge tan head. Bold, rich, complex and pleasant aroma including raisins, chocolate, dark toast malt, brandy. Full bodied, smooth with good bright carbonation. Rich and complex taste. The alcohol is clearly present. The burnt / dark roast malt provides sweetness at the start and some strong burnt bitter notes in the finish. There’s plenty of interesting fruity notes and some spices, especially in the mid palate. Interesting but the burnt and alcohol notes are a bit too intense and brutal.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a nice tan head, that starts off at about three centimetres in height and fades sort of quickly. Aroma of roasted malt, lactose, cream, pit fruits, raisins, figs, caramelised sugars and a heavy dose of nutmeg, canella and light spices. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong earthy and nutty malt flavours at first dominate with a dash of sweetness from chocolate, light coffee and caramel right behind, with a ton of lactose and full cream notes as well. Aftertaste is deep and robust with an earthy bite and a lot of the chocolate and roasted notes with a little less sweetness noticeable at the end. Overall, a good enough beer that shows a lot of character and depth with some lactose and nice spice notes that gives me a taste of the upcoming season in the Northern Hemisphere, while it is currently winter here! I sampled this 375 mL can purchased from BWS in Kirribilli, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia for AU$9,00 sampled in my hotel room a day later on 15-August-2019.

Slightly hazy and tinted orange and copper coloured body with a thinnish, off-white head that has no trace of carbonation after a few seconds. Aroma of grass, super tropical fruits with guava, passionfruit and a heavy hand of papaya noticeable with a big hit of alcohol and cleanser, more astringent notes towards the end. Medium to even perhaps Full-bodied; A bit tricky at first with a lot of alcohol, some grain, a touch of resin, but the fruits then show soon afterwards with a lot of guava and white grapes, along with some citrus notes and a dash of pure caster sugar and honey as well. Aftertaste shows the grain and alcohol as more pervasive characteristics, but the fruits come through along with some of the grainy malts, which are relatively balanced throughout. Overall, a nice and enjoyable slightly Imperial (although it probably is for Australia's sake) IPA that shows a lot of more astringent and pungent alcohol notes, but also a lot of fruits. I sampled this 375 mL can purchased from the Australia Wine Center here on Pitt Street in Sydney (CBD), New South Wales, Australia on 12-August-2019 for AU$8,50 sampled in my hotel room here on 15-August-2019.

From a 375ml can on 13/8/2019. Pours an ultra clear deep golden with a small head. Has a light aroma of herbal and fruity hops. Flavour wise, there's some caramel and biscuit malt, a decent amount of sweet citrus fruit, finished off by some quite herbal resiny hops. Medium bodied with moderate to average carbonation. The label suggests this is based on the Dogfish Head's 90 minute IPA. It was a long time ago since I had that, but my recollection is that it wasn't much like this. Not that this is bad. It's more than serviceable, though no world beater.
