Can. Opaque orange with a small white head. Rambunctious tropical fruit aroma with some pine and herbal notes. Vibrant juicy/ pithy taste with vague crackery malt behind. Tails off a little as there is little astringency and low bitterness. Pretty good.

A solid IPA with a nice malt backbone. Aromas of lemon, pine, biscuit and caramel. Lots of bitter citrus in the mouth. It's very dry finish.

Can. Clear pale gold with a small white head that's soon gone. 3- Mild tenor register citrus aroma with light bread. Lightish body with citrus blossoms and ruby grapefruit. Modest bitterness perhaps pinches a little more after a while and there's some pepper too. But it's oddly meek stuff.

Can. Pretty much black with a tan head that's soon a scant coat. Roasty aroma with coffee and red berries. Very nice weight - mouthfilling with flavours that have enough room to move. Toffee sweetness, mocha, insistent roast, slightly spiced bitterness towards the end. Elegant.

16/10/2022. Bottle from Dan Murphy’s. Pours clear amber brown with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma of malt, toffee, biscuit, bread, fruit and flowers. Medium sweetness and moderate bitterness. Medium body, quite smooth, average carbonation. Pretty well done ESB.

I'm a fan of their ESB, but I feel like this one gets a bit overwhelmed by the booze. Nevertheless, it has a smooth mouthfeel, and I do like the sherry and bourbon notes that shine through. Maybe not a classic, but it's quite moreish.

Tap. Hay and spice aroma. Thinnish with a peppery dry bitter finish. Snappy finish is OK but the malt lacks roundness.

From a 440ml can on 9/1/2022. Pours a hazy medium golden with a smallish head. Has a bright sweet citrus nose. The taste is quite sweet and very orange dominated, with hints of mango and passionfruit in the background. Has a moderate tangy at the back to counter. Has a slick mouthfeel with moderate to average carbonation. I'd all but given up on this series after a number of disappointments, but returned on a recommendation. This is very nice stuff, and super easy drinking for 10%.
