Can. Hazy orange gold beer, pretty small and a fairly small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, a little dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, a light and fairly smooth creamy sweetness that works well here. Cooling pine into punchy Nelson gooseberry and white grape. Eclipse brings up the rear with light but pleasing peachy stone fruits. Luminosa brings a trace of raspberry led berry candy and an equally light lemonade. The latter aspect, for me, usually pretty easy to spot, but here, in the shadow of the punchy Nelson. Juicy finish brings a mild tangy bitterness. Lovely dipa, the Nelson throwing its weight around but backed up well. Could drink a lot of this.

Can. Just a light haze on this paleish and yellowish gold beer, small off white head. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Slightly thin pale malts, a thin creamy sweetness. Eclipse hops, bring light cooling pine, some pithy bitterness, a little hop spice. Hop fruits are not at all peachy, which is what I would expect. Mellow stone fruits and a little citrus. Light semi dry hop spicy finish. Mmm. I think Sparkle do good single hop DIPAs. This doesn't strike me as one of the better ones.

Can. A mild to medium haze on this yellowish gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, a good fine minerally crispness. Somewhat thin bodied pale malts but, a nice light creamy sweetness. Southern Cross hops providing a fairly bright lemon here, slightly sharp as well. Floral lemon, touch of Sorachi lemon. Tangy lemon and a little lemon peel on the semi dry finish, along with a hop spice nip. Not had a Southern Cross representation like this before. Very lemon. Very pleasingly so.

440ml can. Cloudy, yellow-ish, golden colour with average, frothy, slowly osteoporosing, minimally lacing, snow white head. Fruity hoppy and minimally yeasty spicy aroma, wheaty and oaty malty background, notes of yellow stone fruit, some orange, whiffs of onion and white pepper. Taste is fruity hoppy and yeasty spicy as well as slightly alcoholic, oaty nad minimally wheaty malty basis, notes of onion, yellow stone fruit, some orange, a touch of white pepper; boozy finish.
Dissolved sugar enriched, watery texture, smooth and soft, simultaneosly minimally dry palate, fine, dense, mildly prickly carbonation.
Quite alcoholic, not overly manifold fruitiness, quite some yeasty spicy off-flavours - well, it is an "édition limitée" and that's a wise decision.

440ml can. Murky, deep yellow-ish, golden colour with average, frothy to creamy, osteoporosing, moderately lacing, white head. Intense, juicy, tropical fruity, hoppy aroma, wheaty and minimally oaty malty background, notes of yellow stone fruit, peach, mango, some kiwi fruit, gooseberry, minimally yeasty spicy hints of onion, white pepper, overtones of glue, thinner. Taste is slightly bitter, tropical fruity hoppy, wheaty and oaty malty with low residual sweetness and slightly yeasty spicy, notes of yellow stone fruit, some orange, hints of kiwi fruit, gooseberry, some onion, white pepper black pepper, glue.
Oily-watery texture, slightly dry, simultaneously minimally greasy palate, medium to fine, mildly prickly carbonation.
Fairly intense and fruity, but also a bit flawed, some barely disguised off-flavours - not convincing.
