(Can) Pours clear golden amber with good white head. Lovely aroma - pine, citrus, passionfruit. Medium body, well carbonated. Taste is hops on a light biscuity malt. The hops provide some initial light fruit notes, then quite quickly shift to a good bitter flavour. Maybe a bit too much focus on the hops for my taste, but very enjoyable.

1/2 pint on tap at Basement Brewhouse Bankstown. Cloudy orange beer with thin white head. Clean hoppy nose. Depths of fruity sweetness explode! Delicious layers of sweet fruit and bitter hops alternate over a solid malt base. Excellent beer from one of Australia's best breweries.

From a 355ml can on 13/1/2018. Pours a slightly cloudy golden with a big white head. Has a strong nose with fruity, floral and herbal hops featuring. The flavour features lots of sweet stone and citrus fruit and a touch of honey, against a solid biscuit malt background. The hops are prominent, and slightly puckering with the lime coming through at the back, along with a hint of grapefruit. medium bodied with average carbonation. Damn this is well put together - super tasty, approachable, and full of character, Just lovely, and about as good as you can expect an APA to be.

355ml can into schooner glass. Slightly hazy amber beer with large frothy white head. Medium carbonation. A little patchy lacing. Nose has ripe fruit, touch of pepper, undertones of dark caramel, it's nice. Full-bodied, a little zingy with an oily texture. Strongly bitter and alcoholic. There's a lingering herbal earthiness in the finish. It's OK but feels a little unbalanced.
