Can. Deep clear amber with a dense cm of beige head. Floaty aroma of honeydew melon, green pine branch, glace pineapple, caramel. After the slightly surprising lightness of the aroma the caramelised and dank torpical notes (remininscent of Bridge Rd's Hop Rain) make the whole thing more like the balancing act you'd expect. Medium high bitterness.

Advent calendar opened early. Can. Pale gold with a small white head. Aroma of (obviously actual) lemon, crackers, honeydew melon, light spices. Dryish with snappy fruit, swift spicy bitterness. Indeed, a refreshing thirst quencher.

Can. Somewhat hazy golden amber with a white head. Heavy mango & papaya aroma with some lighter citrus notes trying to break through. But citrus and some strong weedy and piny notes roar through in the taste towards a firmly bitter finish. Not quite sure it's the best of both worlds but it's interesting and pungent.

Aromas of cocoa, tangerine, cream, pine, coffee and vanilla cake. Thick mouthfeel with an interesting mix of those flavours. Not necessarily an easy drink, but a very good one.

(Can) Pours opaque brownish red with short-lived pale pink head. Pleasant aroma of raspberries with notes of lemon, vanilla and perfume. Medium body with bright carbonation. Very fruity with raspberries and citrus, moderately tart, with notes of candy and vanilla. Very drinkable.

From a 355ml can on 14/7/2023. Pours a hazy pinky red with a small head. Has a light raspberry nose. Tastes of raspberry with hints of vanilla, with a modest tart finish. Very light creamy mouthfeel and prickly carbonation.Not very sweet, pastry or smoothie like in presentation. Not awful but not in the least bit notable. Pastry sours are a style that no Oz brewery seems to be able to really nail.

2023 version is 6.0% ABV. Can. Dark brown with a light tan head that's soon a scant coat. 3- Aroma of roasted malt, caramel, some earthiness that may be the mushrooms. A taste suggests yes - there's a nice savoury richness before a lightly spiced bitterness. Moody, pretty good.

Can. Almost clear amber with a fat coat of white head. Interesting fruity and woody aroma with peach, feijoa, pine sap and needles. Lacks malt presence and body. Tropical fruit - perhaps a bit grilled - with varied resinous notes before a moody, moderately bitter finish.
