The can reminds me of arriving in Australia and being picked up from the airport by my Dad wearing a beige safari suit and driving an orange Torana. Yellowish orange with a rapidly vanishing white head. 3- Aroma of tropical orange drink with some zesty notes above. Really very fruit juice-like (albeit not very sweet) before a decisive turn towards bitterness at the end. A bit pineapple astringent there too. Behind the nice hops is nothing.

500ml can, packaged two weeks ago (July 23, 2020). Colour of grapefruit juice. Mandarin nose. Very citrusy. A bit pillowy. Wafts of bitterness in the aftertaste. Not the best Banks, but still quality.

Can - three weeks since package date. Opage and orange with healthy almost creamy head. Enormous bubblegum and berry nose. Chewy. The flavours just keep coming and coming... tropical fruit, wet grass dank, that blueberry again. So bloody impressive.

Pours hazy yellow, small head.Nose shows lychee, passion fruit, spicy, herbal and earthy hops, clean malt, hop resin.Flavours include more passion fruit and spicy, resinous hops. Some pineapple too. Lots of sweet clean malt afterward, but not so far as to be cloying.

Can. Opaque yellow with a brief raft of bubbles. 3- Powerful tropical and citrus fruit aroma - inter alia mango, passionfruit, pineapple, lime, Meyer lemon, kumquat, guava, some herbal notes. Thinner than guessed (my can doesn't actually claim to be chalky) with not enough richness in the malt to prevent a narrowing of the hop aromatics to the toppier and more astringent of them. Moderate bitterness, some raw/ burning sensation at the end - but on this occasion I can see that's a trade you might be willing to make for that fruit.

Can. Opaque yellow. Dank nose. Loads of citrus with grassy dank alongside. Surprisinly well-balanced. These guys really know how to DDH.

(Can) Pours clear pink amber with a transient white head. Pleasant interesting aroma of tangy fruit, vanilla and coconut. Medium body with bright carbonation. Great tasting sour beer. It’s sour but rich and complex and balanced. There’s sour beer and mixed berry tang at the start. Coconut and some subtle sweetness come through in the mid palate. The alcohol is not apparent. Unusual, and very drinkable.

Can. Opaque orange with a small white head. Aroma has that frothy juice sense to it, with oranges, pineapple and mango. Comes through in the texture too, which is creamy with low carbonation. Very fruity and quite sweet with a lean to dry at the end that almost substitutes for bitterness. Rather well done but not totally my sort of thing.

From a 355ml can on 23/5/2020. Pours an opaque reddy pink with pretty much no head. Has a light tart/sour berry aroma. Tastes of raspberry but I don't get much blueberry or peach. And there's bugger all sweetness, so it's very much like eating raspberries which are not quite ripe. Has a mild tart finish. Thin bodied with spritzy carbonation. It has no particularly redeeming features for mine.
