(Bottle from BWS Broadbeach) Pours a deep amber-orange with a small lingering white head and a bit of lace. Aroma malt driven on the light toffee or burnt caramel side, dark crackers and biscuit, light orange, floral and earth notes. Flavour of dark caramel, biscuit, lightly toasted nuts, earth, slightly spicy herbal hops hops with a little orange and flowers. Semi-dry finish with lingering malt, oranges and peppery hop bitterness, slight grain too. Medium bodied with average carbonation. An okay English IPA, not really my style but it also doesn’t get the blood pumping.

Bottle. Slightly hazy gold with a puffy white head. Pretty much got to get your nose wet to smell passionfruit and honeydew melon, but they are there. Some honeyed biscuit too. Light bodied, highish carbonation. Sweet with flabby malt - biscuit, mealy peach, glue. There’s a little bitterness and some pepper, but the tropical fruit gets lost until right at the end. Pretty ordinary.

Bottle. Cloudy pale yellow, low white head. Fine lime and spruce hop aromatics on a light biscuit malt base. Medium light dry body, sparkles. No worries.

(Bottle) Hazy golden, no head. Pleasant refreshing aroma - citrus and pine, fairly subtle. Light body, good carbonation. Light refreshing but pretty uninteresting taste - starts with some tangy citrus over very light malty sweetness and develops the bare set hint of bitterness in finish. Easily drinkable, uninteresting, sessionable.

330ml bottle into glass. Sweet malt nose. Hazy golden bronze beer with solid white head. Light carbonation. Lightweight body with smoky maltiness then a subtle lingering pine hop note. Well balanced but nothing special.
