Bottle. Cloudy amber brown with beige head. Surprisingly little aroma: slightly hoppy. Medium body, well carbonated. Flavour seriously dominated by hops with very bitter finish. Overall I found this an unbalanced beer, overwhelmed by hoppy bitterness. Tried this again 2013/04/03 on tap and enjoyed it much more: Ar: 8, Ap: 3, Ta: 8, Pa: 4, Ov: 15.

Bottle. Deep orangey brown in colour with little head. Toffee flavours come through well. Holds falvour well throughout. Far from a typical brew choice for a young Aussie micro operation.

On tap at brewery and then later in bottle. This is a little beauty. Wonderfully amber in colour with burnt aroma and well-balanced palate. At the lighter end of the IPA spectrum but beautifully crafted. Not sure I’ve tasted a better IPA in Australia.

Both on tap at brewery and in 750ml bottle. This is a very classy and sophisticated effort. Has sour aroma and Hooegarden type appearance. Very full-bodied taste, very citrusy and tart. Great lingering aftertaste. I’m looking forward to having a taste of a more matured bottle (if I can resist the temptation to drink it early).

Bottled. Cloudy amber, rich head. Obvious hop aroma with melon, orange and ash. Medium sweet with fairly soft mouthfeel and a firm malt profile. The hop flavours are like a fruit salad, with plenty of undefined fruits. It finishes with medium bitterness. An interesting, tasty little beer.
