Can. Opaque orange with an inch of white head that laces extravagantly. Intense winter orange aroma with mangoes, peach nectar, bread. And that fruity intensity is maintained in the taste, with maybe a little lime and grass top note before a fairly bitter finish. I didn't expect to like this more than its progenitors ([Imp] Biggie Juice & [Super] VPA) but this is as harmonious as it is punchy. Ha.

0.375 l can huge thanks to Marko. Dark brown, small beige head. 4.9% version. Aroma is caramel, malts, some dried fruit, slightly toasty. A roasty touch. Also a sugary touch. Very light smoked profile. Light body, moderate carbonation, smoked roasty flavour, roasty, spicy. Moderately lasting dry finish. Very good.

Can, 4.9%, huge thanks Per! Shared with Hrabren & ogivlado. Smokey aroma, fresh, fruity undertones, chocolate. Lean, soft taste, the smoke mixing with some light chocolate and caramel, bit soapy, but okay, by the book porter enhanced a little by the smoke. Must be a bit of a hit & miss usually to get these scores. Or it improved in these last 2 years.

From a 375ml can on 15/4/2021 (can labelled Feral Shooter's Juicy IPA, but internet search confirms it's the same beer as Shooter McGavin's Breakfast IPA). Pours a cloudy dirty golden with a smallish head. Has a light tropical and citrus fruit nose. Tastes sweet with a vague but enjoyable tropical sweetness and some interesting cereal flavours. The mouthfeel is slick, the carbonation moderate. Super approachable and enjoyable. If they keep brewing it, it might become a regular.

As Shooter's Juicy IPA (presumably due to concerns about IP from the corporate masters). Egregiously ugly can. Opaque brownish orange with a white head. Could pass as fruit juice by aroma - some mango and toppier citrus, but mainly orange. Very sweet and juicy with a smooth texture and lowish carbonation. You can feel the lactose but only just taste it. Only moderate bitterness. Some zestier citrus lingers. Sounded pretty stupid but was delicious.

Can. Hazy gold. Almost no aroma at all (could be bro-in-law's poor storage). Loads of citrus. Hop burn.

Released late October but I found this in Balnarring Ritchies and had to add it here. Feral's status has changed a great deal. Can. Clear mid-amber with a cm of white head. Aroma of lime, tropical fruit - passionfruit, guava - crackers, some hints of booze. Medium bodied, a bit fumy. Not all that sweet but there's some breadcrust along with sweet tropical fruit and citrus before a dryish or drying finish that's fairly bitter too. It's not the shock trooper that Tusk is/was but backing off a little has its own rewards too. Good.

Can. Pretty much opaque gold with a white head. Bright aroma of citrus, tropical fruit and grass clippings. Moderately sweet. Tastes much as it smells with a slight earthiness and an odd coconut taste at the apparent finish. Then after a while, there's the oak. I'm not sure I get why with the oak, but it's fine and as good as normal Biggie. Can't see where it says Coke on the can.

Can into shaker. Thanks to Beer Cartel and Ratebeer. Slightly hazy golden beer with a foamy white head and high fine carbonation. Nice nose, some pine, some grass, nice sweet vanilla. Sharp sparkly mouthfeel with good body. Really interesting beer, lingering dried berry finish follows pine needles and vanilla malt. Very nice.
