It took me ages to get the passionfruit notes, perhaps because it's got more of that funky side of the passionfruit taste than the light, fruity taste you normally pick up with passionfruit flavoured drinks or ice cream. In the mouth, its tartness is particularly lemony to me. It's not too challenging and I think slightly disappointing, but certainly something you can throw down on a hot Summer day. Can from Blackhearts and Sparrows Sydney Rd.

Aromas of grapefruit, pineapple, marshmallow and honey lead into a nicely hopped, bitter taste with a bit of guava there as well. It's got a solid malt backbone underpinning it, and perhaps a slight shortness is the only criticism.

From a 375ml can on 8/2/2018. Pours a super cloudy golden with a small head. Has a very pleasant, strong aroma dominated by mango and other tropical fruit. Flavour wise, sweet mango again kicks things off, along with some lactose, which is met by some assertive, somewhat spicy, grapefruity hops. Has a thick creamy texture and moderate carbonation. This is a big, full on, unusual and quite singular NEIPA, which drinks bigger than its 7%. Not for the faint hearted but damn good.

Tap at the Boilermaker House, Melbourne. Poured a milky light brown colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is malt, lactose, strawberry cheesecake hop. The flavour is moderate sweet light bitter with a dry fresh malty, big red berry fruit, dry chilli spice light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Unlike any beer I ever tasted before!

375ml can into shaker. Pours a cloudy 'orange juice' amber. Sticky frothy white head. Fresh nose of bitter fruit. Light body but not watery. Initial bitterness turns to spice then malt then pepper. easy-drinking. Excellent complex sessioner, really liked this.
