Can. Gold. Pretty much clear with an inch of white head that lasts OK. Aroma is earthy with crackers and spices. Light bodied, spritzy. Dry with just a little touch of lime as well as some earth, very slightly funky crackers, spices. Modestly bitter finish is decisive enough because it's pretty dry. Refreshing, quaffable.

Schooner on tap at The Grainstore, Newcastle. (Now) classic hazy Amber colour with a foamy white head. Fruity nose but understated. Nice body. Easy-drinking. Touches of spicy bitterness in the finish, quality quaffer.

(Can) Pours hazy golden with small white head. Aroma is cooked / canned strawberries. Medium body with plenty of fine soft carbonation. Taste is sour, but not overly so. There’s strawberries and yeasty yoghurty notes, and some pleasant salty hints in the finish. Unusual, refreshing, keep coming back for another taste.

Pours deep amber with a large white head.Nose shows caramel, tropical fruit confectionery, soft pine and resinous hops.Flavours include more focus on the pine and resinous notes, but still with dried pineapple and papaya poking through. There's a slight petrol-like note and the finish is not as clean as one might hope. But pretty decent, very robust.

Can. Clear amber with an inch of near white head that laces well and never disappears. Brooding tenor register citrus aroma - kumquat, grilled grapefruit - some pine and sticky breadcrust. Maybe some red berries. Sweet and fairly plain before lots of pine and some citrus and a fairly rowdy bitter finish. Loud.
