From a 330ml bottle on 5/2/2013. Pours a slightly cloudy straw colour with a big head. Has quite a strong aroma of banana lolly, stone and tropical fruit, and a touch of yeast. The flavour has some typical wheat notes, with some spice and coriander, but also lots of pale ale fruitiness. There’s a decent bitter kick at the end, and it’s nicely carbed. A good, refreshing wheat beer.

Bottle, 7C. Cloudy orange with a white head. Aroma is very tropical - passionfruit, lychees, lemon blossoms and leaves. Light-bodied, high carbonation. Taste is wheaty with slight breadiness, more citrus than tropical fruits. Not a lot of bitterness but a bit tangy at the finish.

I don’t often bother commenting on the appearance of my beers, but the pale yellow look was so insipid that it was a turnoff for me. Luckily, the aroma was more meaty, with lots of honey, peaches and marshmallow. But then, back to the negatives: the taste is a real hodge podge with a bitter citrus taste being the predominant feature of a dry, bubbly palate. I’m not sure that this beer knows what it’s trying to be.

Pours hazy gold amber with a small head.Fruity, floral and spicy hops on the nose, also some lemon/peach.Reasonably hoppy flavours too, spicy and grassy notes mainly. Also some biscuit-like malt and soft wheat.Needs more carbonation! Pretty solid effort though.

Bottle, 11C. Clear deep reddish brown with a pale beige head that settles quickly to a coat. Vinous aroma with earth, spices, berries, caramel, citrus peel. Moderately sweet and spicy with oranges, berries, slightly singed caramel and a bit of a barnyard tang. There’s a real Western Vic Pinot Noir character here with vibrant berries but surprising lightness on the palate. Wouldn’t have minded a tad more sweetness but really liked the sense of place. Impressive.

From a 330ml bottle on 17/12/2011. Pours a clear dark reddy amber with a fine medium head. Has a slightly curious aroma of red cordial. The flavour is very subtle, with berry fruits and a touch of caramel and toffee malt. Has mild carbonation and a moderate bitterness. Fairly easy to drink and has a bit to it, but not quite enough to make it really praise worthy.
