From a 375ml can on 3/8/2019 (ABV listed as 8.7% not 8.3%). Pours a clear deep golden with a smallish head. The nose features herbal and grassy hops. On the sip, there's a good dash of caramel malt, some indistict, muted fruity sweetness, and a fairly firm bitterness, which doesn't feature much pine, resin or grapefruit. Full bodied with moderate carbonation. Not altogether unpleasant, but quite muddled and doesn't really know what it wants to be. Kind of half arsed in terms of malt, hops, style and drinkability.

Can. Golden amber with a white head. Aroma of passionfruit and biscuit, some citrus, kind of woody pineapple. Really too sweet with tropical fruit and biscuit. Bitterness is moderate and struggles a bit at the end. Just OK, which looking at the blurb is all they were going for.

From a 375ml can on 16/7/2019. Pours a slightly hazy light golden with a small head. Has a light fruit salad nose. Tastes of pineapple, orange and coconut, with a light spicy bitterness. There's perhaps a touch of smoke in there too. Don't really get the rum, though there is a slight warming character to it. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Not a typical hazy IPA in lots of ways, but I ended up liking it more and more as I got through it. Pretty tasty.

From a 375ml can on 30/4/2020. Pours a crystal clear medium golden with a medium head - nothing remotely hazy about the appearance. The nose features light tropical fruit. Flavour wise, it features some mild tropical and stone fruit sweetness and a light, slightly spicy bitterness. Light to medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Drinks smaller than 6% for mine. Easy drinking and pleasant enough, but a bit forgettable. G.O.A.T? Errr, no.

Can. Clear amber with a 3/2 inch of white head that last pretty well. Aroma of tenor register citrus, pine, bread crust. Just sort of heavy. Moderate carbonation. Pretty sweet with caramel and bread, hints ripe tropical fruit. Very clean with citrus and pine that leads away from the sweetness rather than jolts. Resin builds towards a firmly bitter finish with some pepper joining the pine. A little sweet for me but this is more than solid.

Pint on tap at Surfers Sandbar, QLD. Clear golden amber beer with foamy white head. Medium carbonation, tiny bubbles. Nose of malt, dried fruit and grass. Laces well. Light body, herbal and bitter. Finish is earthy and watery. Standard APA, easy-drinking but a bit of a lightweight.

Taster at GABS Auckland 2017. Pours black. Nuts, chocolate, vanilla, biscuit malt, marshmallow sweetness. Not really picking up any raspberry, which means it’s actually reminiscent of a plain Wagon Wheel, which is one of the most disappointing biscuits available. It’s a nice beer, but I feel like it has to lose points for making me talk at length, both while drinking and in this review, about how bizarre it is that the jam Wagon Wheel is so superior to the plain Wagon Wheel.
