Can. Very dark brown with about a cm of light tan head. Aroma is roasty and a bit weedy with some mocha. Seems dryish and roasty at first then gradually some sweet mocha creeps in before a modestly bitter finish I wished bit a little more. Fair enough.

Can. Clear amber with a small white head. Aroma of passionfruit, breadcrust, grilled peach. Medium bodied. Quite sweet with caramel and peach. Subdued stewed tropical fruit, then some spiced and somewhat resinous notes towards a moderately bitter finish.

Can. Dirty orange with a white head. Cleaning product aroma - solventy with tropical overtones. A bit of Air Wick continues in the taste but not so much. It's somewhat fruity but sitting on nothing in particular. Moderately bitter. bb 10/24 but might be too old. Or just not for me.

Canned 17 Aug. Almost black with a light tan head that lasts pretty well. Choc orange (+ grapefruit) aroma with some roast and stone fruit. More bread to the malt than expected but still not very sweet, Roast, mocha, firm bitterness. Fruit gets a little lost. Has a lot of presence for 6.2%. Good stuff.

Can. Very dark brown with a tan head that fades to a coat. Rather meek aroma of caramel, gentle roast. About medium bodied with well-judged medium-low carbonation. Maybe some chocolate but more caramel and grainy bread with firmer roast than suggested by the aroma and a decisive bitter finish that makes it for me. But doesn't really justify its strength.

375ml in schooner. Thanks to my mate Pablo. Pours a hazy amber with a bubbly white head that dissipates. Beautiful fruit nose, mango, pineapple, guava. Good body, nice texture. Fruit juice taste with bitter fruity finish. Nice IPA, easy drinking.

375ml can into glass. Pale amber beer with a thin white bubbly head. Light carbonation. Nose of overripe fruit with a hints of bubblegum, caramel and durian. Slight fizz, good body. Bitter in the mouth with more fruity bitterness in the finish. Complex and boozy.

15/10/2022. Draught at Ocean Reach Taphouse, Cowes, Philip Island. Pours slightly hazy pale orange with a small frothy white head. Aroma is tropical, citrus, grapefruit, orange, light pine and spice, husky cheesy notes and a mucky whiff. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Slightly peppery. Again fizzy but enjoyed it the most of the 6 tried here today.
