Intense coffee roast and sweetness. Clear gold with a small white head. Soft coffee and a light finish. Decent.

Sweet hops on the nose, vague citrus. Nice cloudy orange body and little foam. Flavour is huge sour fruit skin that hits you like The Rock in his WWF days. That's actually kind of cool, a sour that pushes back. You don't see that often enough in these parts.

Medium orange body and little foam, soft smell of rotting cabbage. Flavour is an odd mix between hops and round malts, becomes kind of plasticky or perhaps akin to a rotting cabbage. Okay carbonation. Very odd, not really any good.

Medium clear gold body and little foam. Soft aroma of crushed spruce tips. Flavour is very weak grain, some hops flew by like the Pluto satellite, and then it rained for 40 days so everything became inundated with water. Just as Moses was crying into the sky to God screaming Why, as am I screaming into my glass of water. (Okay, figuratively. This is Victoria, if I really did that they'd kick me out).

Middling semi cloudy gold body and fast gone foam. Very soft aroma of hops and a hint of errantly placed soya sauce. Flavour is detergenty hops and floor cleaner, all the aspects one should be removing from an IPA. Not adding. I'm getting vibes of the 1980s orange drink from McDonald's. No one should have to suffer through that beyond childhood.

Okay coffee and barley aroma, soft brown body and beige head. Flavoyr is tar with roasted barley notes and herbal tea. Okay but seems disjointed.

Milky orange body with modest foam, faint sweet hops on the nose, very juicy. Flavour is soft juicy hops and nothing else. Good carbonation creates crispness on the mouth. Otherwise there's not much here to remember.

Medium clear brown body and soft head. Wet hops on the nose with some sugary fruit. Flavour is sweet hops with a vague soft malt underpinning. Okay oiliness. Drinkable but very middling.

Brownish medium gold body and just a little foam. Soft sweet ginger aroma with soda pop style grapefruit notes. Flavour is bitter grapefruit juice, grapefruit skin. Puckerish in the wrong way. Okay oiliness on the mouth. Good grapefruit notes but it's unbalanced and hard to drink.
