Oh, God this is good. Aromas of passionfruit, grapefruit, orange, honey, pine and more. The hops dominate more on tasting, but it's amazingly smooth for an 8% drop. A winner.

On keg at Beer Deluxe, Melbourne. Pours clear amber golden with a white head with lacing. Aroma is moderate malty, candy & pine needles. Taste is malty, fruity, herbal light spice, pine resin. Light to medium body, soft carb. Hoppy bitter finish. Quite west coast in style, it’s not bad at all

Can sampled during Aussie trip 2017-18. Pours hazy yellow golden with a good white head. Decent aromas of stone fruits, tropical fruits. On the taste it’s light sweet moderate bitter with big tropical fruit flavours & a good smack of piney hops. Medium bodied, good carbonation. Hoppy, bitter finish. Well balanced and very drinkable

Can, 5.8% ABV. Clear gold with an inch of white head. 3+ Aroma of lychee, honeydew melon, pineapple, mango skin, the meadow. Lightish bodied, medium high carbonation. How refreshing: an IPA that's completely clean. Sweet hayish malt, tropical fruit, some weeds. Bitter and slightly resinous at the end. Impressive.

Tap at the Boilermaker House, Melbourne. Poured a hazy medium amber with a thin white head. The aroma is malt, grassy hop, mineral, light citrus. The flavour is light sweet light bitter with a light watery, grainy, light fruit, light hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation. Light and watery all round. Served cool and kinda hit the mark in terms of refreshment on a warm day, but has no backbone.

375ml can into pint glass. Excellent citric nose with a touch of peppery hops. Hazy amber beer with billowy white head. Spritzy mouthfeel, real zingy. Good earthy, fruity finish. Real easy-drinking ale with a nice lingering touch of lemons.

Tap. It seems this is the name of whatever the Winter seasonal release is. Dark brown with a tan head. Aroma of sticky spiced buns, chocolate, grapefruit, strong pine - assertively hoppy. Drier than expected with chocolate, some ash, lighter citrus than suggested by the aroma, plenty of pine. Bitterness is restrained. Good, raucous. 7373 15

Schooner on tap @ Hart’s Pub. Very faint malt/cocoa nose. Dark brown/black with thin tan head. Full-bodied, creamy texture. Finish of dark fruit, dark chocolate and a little bitter fruit tang. Quite dry, well made, serious Porter.
