From a 375ml bottle on 2/4/2018. Pours a relatively cleat golden with a small to medium head. The nose is very citrussy - heaps of tangerine and mandarin, with some herbal notes. The flavour also features lots of tangerine, mandarin, as well as a lot of grapefruit, and a dash of honey, against a light biscuit malt background. The bitterness is pretty big and quite herbal, but nicely integrated with the fruit. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. A very nice, quite unusual and punchy IPA.

Not a portent, then? OK. Can. bb 1/19, right. Just hazy amber with a white head that doesn't last that well. Aroma of tropical fruit, some mandarins, chive-y herbs, pine - brusque but nice. Gentle, slightly biscuity sweetness with lots of fruity and herbal hops. Bitterness is quite high but there's no harshness to it and the green element to the herbs doesn't really register at the end. Vibrant and refreshing. Very good.

Tap at the Ballarat Beer Festival, 2018. Poured a hazy straw colour with a big frothy white head. The aroma is malt, mineral dry grassy light pine hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a malt, light fruit, dry woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Too bitter and not enough fruit.

From a 375ml bottle on 26/12/2017. Pours a clearish light golden with a small head. The aroma features lots of lychee and passionfruit, along with rockmelon, and some floral notes. The flavour is similarly fruit forward - more passionfruit and lychee, with hints of mango and peach, set of against some light biscuit malt. The hops are prominent without being overwhelming. Medium bodied with average carbonation. A delicious, moreish fruity IPA. I will definitely get again.

Bottle from Marks and Spencer, Rickmansworth, Herts. A dark golden coloured pour with a healthy white head on top. Hoppy, malty, citrus, pine aroma. Tastes similar, hoppy, malty, citrus, pine. Very nice IPA from our friends in Australia, will buy some more of this.
