Draft at Great Kiwi Beer Festival 2020. Backlog. An unclear golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of hops, citrus fruits, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of hops, citrus fruits, and malt, leading to a bitter finish.

Aromas of pineapple, apple, lemon and biscuit. Light hopped flavours in the mouth, but it's more of an absence than anything.

375ml can into schooner glass. From BWS, Armidale. Cloudy amber beer with a solid white head. Nose is tropical fruit with a dark caramel background. Nice lacing. Great taste of caramel with a late touch of guava. Lingering bitter finish of grapefruit juice. Really really good IPA. one of the best I've had.

25/10/2022. Can bought at Pyrmont Cellars (Porters Liquor) Pyrmont. Pours clear pale golden orange with a small frothy white head. Aroma is hoppy, tropical, citrus, orange, grass, light herby, weedy and resin notes. Medium sweetness and moderate bitterness. Medium body, oily, average carbonation. Nice developing bitterness in finish. I think the best XPA tagged beer I’ve had in this trip.

Can. Another brewed under licence somewhere in Australia. Pretty much opaque mid orange with a good inch of white head. Aroma of peach and pineapple with a citrus edge, vague breadiness behind. Dryish with loads of fruit - peach, tropical fruit in various stages of ripeness, some slight herbal astringency at the decisiveness bitter finish. The best Panhead beer I've had in a long while.

Can. Brewed at a location in Australia that it seems is not important enough to specify. Hazy sunset with a frothy white head. Gentle juicy/ pithy orange and mango icecream aroma. Light bodied. Fruit with some chewed crackers, modest bitterness and some twiggy herbs at the end I didn't really like.

Bel équilibre pour cette APA qui présente une bonne amertume fine et saillante, un alcool limité à 5,7 % mais qui fait le job, et des arômes, sans grosses variations mais très appréciables. Cette Supercharger permet donc de passer un agréable moment. Le visuel est sur un blond doré limpide avec une très faible effervescence et sans mousse. Le nez est sur un subtil mélange de zest d'orange, d'herbes, de pomme, ananas et pêche. L'attaque laisse percevoir cette jolie amertume sur une bonne intensité avec une base maltée légèrement présente accompagnant bien cette amertume. Un léger poivre vient agrémenter le cocktail déjà présent au nez. La deuxième bouche est un peu plus herbacée et épicée avec une bonne ampleur et intensité pour le titrage alcoolique. L'arrière bouche est sur une amertume un peu plus prononcée tout comme le final sur une longueur appréciable. Belle prestation.
