At a tasting, thanks, almost no head, quite clear orange color, aroma of mandarine, orange blossom and some wood in the back, flavor of peach and apricot with some citrus, quite sweet with alcohol coming through, heavy and a bit one dimensional. Fair but not too exciting.

Clear amber colour, small white head. Peachy fruity aroma. Medium-bodied. Tropical fruity sweetish crustal malty IPA with even some warming alcohol. Even somewhat near American ambers. In the finish grapefruity bitterness. Ok, could have another one.

500ml can into tulip. Can left outside on a cold night in Sydney. Super dark beer with tan-coloured head. Nose is cocoa powder and milk chocolate. Smooth mouthfeel with a little tingly zinginess. Finish is bitter at first followed by dried dark fruit which lingers like aged cake. Seems very light for 7.1 %, interesting stout.

500ml can. Pours a nice copper colour with haze and fine sediment floating around, one finger off-white head, looks amazing. Aroma: malty, piney resin, citrus fruits. Taste: follows suit from the aroma, big sweet malty base, piney resin and citrus fruit hops, moderate bitter finish. Medium body, smooth mouthfeel, average carbonation, actually one of the easiest drinking DIPAs I’ve ever had. This is an outstanding old school DIPA.
