Can. Reddish amber, rather murky. Pale beige head. Aroma of oranges and pine, biscuit. Lightish bodied and cleaner than expected given the appearance. The biscuit is light and the chirpy citrus and fresh cut pine (which is Eclipse it seems) breeze through to a modestly bitter end. Straightforward hoppy quaffer, nicely done.

Bottle. Black with a good rocky inch of light tan head. Aroma of mocha, brioche, pine, nectarines, candied orange peel. Some Vegemite. Getting towards syrupy with a creaminess and moderate carbonation that it certainly needs. Very sweet with roast, mocha, brioche and caramel then quite strong bitterness comes through. A bit suffocating. I continue to think that this hasn't got better just bigger, but we'll see how 10 goes.

Not really brewed in the style of a traditional German Gose. Can. Startlingly opaque red with a soon-gone pink head. Yep, smells of raspberries. And sightly earthy too. A little more to the taste - there's a little sourness and a some salt as well as a tangy bit of lime. Refreshing for half a glass.
0,33 litre Bottle, shared with Bergstaden. Cloudy brown with little head. Oxidation in The nose, some in The taste. Is better. Malts, hops, sour, port Wine.

Bottle. Very pale gold with a small white head. Smells of mandarins. There's some crackers, lemon and spices too. Light bodied, moderate carbonation. Quite sweet with a bit of spicy funk as well as bitterness creeping in at the end. It's not dry enough for me at the end to really snap.

Bottle. Just slightly hazy gold with a puffy white head. Crackling aroma of fruit, crackers and spices with vibrant passionfruit, honeydew melon, oranges. Not bone dry but dryish despite the fruit. Only slightly sour. The citrus is a bit sharper than orange and the finish snaps with spices and modest but distinct bitterness. Slightly zingy at the end. Drinks itself. Second excellent sub 4% ABV Australian beer I've had this month. This is a good trend.

Bottle. Yellow gold with a little haze and no head. Aroma of apricots, old citrus, floral honey, some twigs. Not far off flat. Autumnal fruit with zingy twiggy notes and a little astringency. Less funky than the Giaconda variant but otherwise similar - including that it could have used some more bubbles. Interesting as ever.
