Bottle - Pours a slightly hazy yellow gold colour with a good sized carbonated foamy near white head that settled to a thick layer. A sweet fruity aroma, citrusy with a hint of tropical fruit and some floral notes. A moderately sweet fruity taste, grapefruit and oranges with not a lot of bitterness in a light dry finish.

Schooner on tap at Buckleys, Sydney. Cloudy marmalade colour with high fine carbonation. Sticky creamy white head. Nose is distant burnt caramel. Laces well. Zingy in the mouth with burnt caramel taste. Finish is slight bitter lemon with late grapefruit and pepper. Perfectly acceptable IPA, just lacking a ’wow’ factor.

375ml can into shaker. Pours a clear copper with a frothy white head. The occasional bubble makes an appearance. Nose is caramel and toffee. Flat mouthfeel. Taste and finish are caramel malt and lasting toffee. There is just a touch of bitterness and orange peel in the background for balance. I like it but is it an IPA?
