473ml can. Pours a cloudy blonde with yeast particles that sink to the bottom and a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that leaves thick, soapy curtains of lace. Sweet fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, grapefruit, pineapple, earthy yeast and herbal hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, grapefruit, pineapple, mango, peach, papaya, earthy yeast, oats and light piney hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Medium body with a thick, creamy, smooth texture and soft carbonation. Total juice bomb!

Poured from the tap @ Craft Beer Market. Hazy dull blonde with small white head. Herbal hop with a slight grass note, feint rotten veg note, some muted dank tropical notes in the background (the only redeeming part of this). Bleh. Good chance it’s a dirty line issue.

473ml can. Pours a clear gold with a small, foamy, long lasting, white head that laces nicely. Aroma of grainy pale malt, green grape and herbal hops. Sweet flavour of grainy pale malt, lemon, passionfruit and grassy hops in a crisp, dry, bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and average to soft carbonation. Not bad.

Opaque and dullish colour. The hops are spicy, a bit oniony. Soft body. Light stone fruit. Lots of alcohol. Just a touch of hop burn. But for real, who makes a hazy DIPA and doesn't tell you what the fucking hops are?

473mL can, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma has dry coffee, medium toasted malt, and some earthiness. Flavour is dry, with earthy coffee, and toasted malt. Simple but clean dry stout. Meh.

473mL can. Pours deep brown with a beige head. Coffee and lactose on the nose. Flavour has roasted malt and coffee up front; a bit of green pepper as it warms. Reasonably full-bodied with nice depth, though the finish is a bit weak. Solid.

473ml can. Pours a cloudy yellow gold with yeast particles that sink to the bottom and a medium, creamy, short lived, white head that leaves curtains of lace. Sweet fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, tangerine, pineapple, green grape, earthy yeast and herbal hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, tangerine, pineapple, passionfruit, mango, apricot, green grape, honeydew melon, earthy yeast and floral hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Medium body with a creamy, smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Juicy, delicious and dangerously easy to drink.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg 26 Nov 2024). Opaque blonde gold with small white head. Dank Nelson nose, taste is a bit more subdued, tropical hops, light juiciness, mild yeast soup quality, but decent.

473ml can. Pours a crystal clear gold with a small, foamy, short lived, white head that laces. Mild aroma of grainy pale malt and herbal hops. Sweet flavour of crackery pale malt, lime and grassy hops in a crisp, dry, bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Clean, refreshing and crushable.
