Can. Clear amber with an off white head. Slightly spiced citrus aroma with breadcrust. Sweet breadcrust balance by firm bitterness with plenty of citrus (although personally I like marmalade sour). Nice, if straightforward.

Pours black with a large fading tan head.
Nose shows roasted malt, woody oak, red wine notes, sultanas and liquorice.
Similar flavours; woody oak and roast, faintly acidic red wine notes and tannins, cocoa and soft booze. Not particularly malty in the finish, more in the dry side.

Now a 2024 can. Definitely one to seek out if you like Hel & Verdoemenis - although it's a little lighter & the bitterness is a little higher. Never seems heavy but packed with interest. Stunning.

Can. Golden amber with a frothy cm of white head. Aroma of pear, some peach, weeds, bread. Pretty much how it tastes. Firm bitterness at the end. Not a Coopers Red clone but in the locale. Pretty good, refreshing, distinctively Australian.

Back as part of 25 years of beers. Can. Clear deep red amber with a cm of beige head that's soon a scant coat. Aroma of singed toffee, stewed fruit, strong bread, gentle citrus and spices. So it tastes. Malty & sweet but the citrus, spices and bitterness required to stop it becoming cloying are there in sufficient quantity. Not totally my sort of thing but good.
