From a 500ml can on 31/3/2021. Pours a hazy medium golden with a smallish head. The nose features some tropical notes, particularly pineapple. Tastes of pineapple, mandarin and vanilla with a moderate tangy bitterness at the back. The mouthfeel is a touch creamy with lactose evident, the carbonation average. Very tasty, well balanced and nicely put together.

From a 500ml can on 30/3/2021. Pours a hazy light golden with a medium head. Smells just a touch dank and fruity, with some yeastiness in the mix. Flavour wise, you get medium sweet citrus against a background of bready malt, with a mild tangy bitterness at the back. Light bodied with moderate carbonation. Pleasant enough but doesn't have quite enough punch or personality to really impress, particularly at the price point.

From a 500ml can on 27/3/2021 (shared with Butz). Pours a hazy medium golden with a smallish head. The aroma is light spicy and fruity. Tastes quite sweet with tropical and stone fruit prominent, with a mild slightly tangy, spicy bitterness which balances things out nicely. Silky mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. Nicely balanced and very pleasant.

(Can) Pours clear pale yellow with good white head. Pleasant subtle aroma of grain with herb notes and a floral hint. Light body with plenty of soft carbonation. Good taste. Starts gentle with soft citrus notes and steadily builds first some biscuit malt and then some peppery and bitter notes together with a hint of candy. A good bitterness in the finish. Very pleasant.

(Can) Pours clear pale gold with good white head. Nice aroma with plenty of hops. Light body with plenty of fine carbonation. Taste is a little thin. Nice citrus refreshing start and good hop bitterness. Very good for a session beer.

(Can) Pours completely opaque, slightly opalescent and slightly lumpy muddy mango juice coloured with big white head. Lovely aroma with pine, tangy fruit and herbs. Excellent mouthfeel. Full bodied and smooth with fine bright carbonation. Superb taste too. The hops are apparent from start to finish; not dominating but leading with a complex set of flavours. This is over base that somehow displays both fruit juice tang and a soft milky sweetness. There’s a lot going on taste-wise and it all works very well together. Excellent beer.

From a 500ml can on 28/2/2021. Pours a deep golden bordering on light amber with a medium head which disappears quickly. The nose is toasty, nutty with caramel and pine. Dominated by malt up front, with lots of caramel and biscuit, lots of sweet and tangy citrus, followed by some medium but lingering piney, resiny hops, featuring a hint of grapefruit. The mouthfeel is a touch slick, the carbonation moderate. It's curious but Aussie brewers rarely seem to make IPAs with the malty accents so typically found in US WC examples. But here is one that does, exhibiting lovely balance and length, while not just being a clone. An excellent IPA.

Can. Very dark brown with a small tan head that's soon gone. 3- Roasty aroma with coffee and brown sugar, some licorice and anise. Sweet with balance provided by hard roasted flavours. Anise lingers. Solid drop.

From a 500ml can on 23/2/2021. Pours a hazy medium golden with small to medium head. The nose features some sweet light fruit with some creamy notes. On the sip, it's very sweet - a veritable stone and tropical fruit milkshake. There's a moderate tangy bitterness at the back that takes the edge of the sugar. The mouthfeel is creamy, the carbonation moderate. This grew on me as I drank it, but not as good as most MC's I've have to date..

From a 500ml can on 22/2/2021. Pours a murky light golden/apple puree colour with a medium head. The nose is like a fruit salad. The flavour is both nuanced and complex, with lots of sweet tropical fruit with herbal, grassy and undertones. Finishes with a zesty, slightly warming bitterness, with just the faintest of hint of some hop burn, which doesn't detract from the experience. The mouthfeel is silky, the carbonation moderate. Another excellent brew from these guys.
