440ml can. Pours a dark clear brown with a very small off white head. Aroma is mild brown malts & a bit of hops. Beer is light, just off dry with the amber malt base making it smooth and flavoursome with mild hop bitterness.
Fine bitter style beer but at $10 for a can of self described "ordinary bitter" at 3% it is simply poor value.

28/12/2024. Bottle courtesy of Gus, big thanks! Region #481. New Zealand region 15/16. Pours clear pale gold with a frothy off-white head. Aroma is peppery, citrus, lime, soapy, herbal. Quite sweet with moderate bitterness and a slight tart edge. It’s okay and certainly does what it sets out to do.

Can. Clear orangish amber with a good cm of white head. Aroma of citrus-sharpened tropical fruit, light bread. The balance is more towards hops than suggested by the aroma and bitterness is medium high. Pretty good.

Can, as Passion Smash, 6.9%. Opaque brown with a cm of white head. Aroma of guava, peach, some lime, passionfruit and pineapple. Fruity with the vague, sludgy palate that you often get with this sort of thing before a finish that's cleaner & modestly bitter with some herbal astringency.
