Can. Cloudy pale orange with a good inch of white head. Aroma of grapefruit and Meyer lemon peel, crackery bread, hints of tropical fruit, white grapes and herbs. Very Citra. Light bodied. Tropical fruit chews, citrus. Feels increasingly resinous toward the fairly bitter end. Good, perhaps a little impersonal.

Can. Clear copper w a coat of off white head. Aroma of caramel, bread, spices. Sweet with balancing earthy and spicy bitterness. Fair enough.

Can. Hazy yellowish orange with a white head. Aroma of under-ripe tropical fruit, grass, mint, menthol, crackers, hints of butter. Light bodied, slightly slick. More citrus in the taste before a somewhat harsh burning herbal finish. I blame society.

Can. More brown than red with a good inch of beige head that lasts pretty well. Aroma of sticky breadcrust, pine, hints of stewed fruit. So it tastes - sweet with sticky breadcrust or even buns before firm resinous bitterness emerges. Gets a little peppery at the end. Not quite my sort of thing but I liked the finish.

Can. Almost opaque yellowish orange with a frothy white head. Aroma of pithy oranges, underripe tropical fruit, near feisty herbs. Smooth, juicy and fruity until nearly the end where bitter woody and herbal notes predominate.

Can. Just misted gold with a 2cm white head. 3+ Aroma of grapefruit, some pine, as much pineapple as peach, crackers. Plain but firm pale cracker/ light bready malt with lots of fruit - peach is more obvious, modestly sharpening citrus, medium high bitterness. Good, would have liked just a little drier.

Tap at the brewery taproom, outside Melbourne. Pours clear yellow gold with white foam. Aroma: citrus, grapefruit, pine. Clean taste, light to moderate sweet with moderate bitterness. Pine/grass on the finish. Medium body with soft carbonation. Decent WCIPA.

Can. Misted yellowish orange with an inch of white head. Aroma of herbal lemon, under-ripe tropical fruit - lychees mainly- , gooseberries (perhaps I think this bc it's a bit NZ pils-like), crackers. A bit of sherbetish sweetness upon a taste but pretty lean and clean before a snappy finish.

On tap at I Brew Beer Bistro pours out hazy golden topped with a white head. Nose is nice sweet cream some citrus hops and a little grass. Taste is more of the nice sweet vanilla cream oats some hay and citrus.
