330 ml can from The Oak Barrel, Sydney. Sampled on October 14, 2015.Marked 4.1% ABV.Clear deep dark reddish brown color, mainly towards black. Brown head of decent size, but it settles fast and leaves no lacing. Sweet, roasted scent, some milk chocolate and coffee as well. Coffee, milk, roasted, some green bell peppers, hints of ash taste. Coffee, milk, roasted, bitter aftertaste. Spiciness lingers on the tongue. Medium to smooth, lowish CO2 mouthfeel, that is still a bit fizzy. Medium bitterness to the dry and grainy side.

Can. Gold with a white head which fades to a coat then sticks around. Grainy aroma with grass, spices and some lemon. Tettnang apparently. Carbonation is on the lower side of medium. Grainy, even husky and sweetish before moderate bitterness with pepper and grass. Spiciness creeps up a bit after a time. Decent, certainly fresh.

Tin. Very dark brown with a tan head. Grassy and earthy aroma with singed milk toffee. Smooth with lowish carbonation. Really quite full bodied but by no means overwhelmingly sweet. Sweet toffee, gentle mocha. Less earthy than suggested by the aroma. Fairly strong bitterness with peppery and grassy notes. Nice but perhaps slightly overhopped.

From a 33oml bottle on 23/6/2015. Pours a cloudy amber with a medium head, The nose features caramel, toffee and fruity hops. Taste wise, it begins with sweet caramel malt, followed by orange and lemon, with quite firm, bitter hops finishing things off. The body is quite full and the carbonation lively. Tasty with a fair bit of character.

I guess they made it again. Tap. Clear pale amber with a modest white head. Gentle aroma of oranges, peach, passionfruit, light bread. Medium bodied. Tastes as it smells with some grapefruit and pepper coming though at the end too. Quite an English feel to the malt. Intensely hoppy at the finish; fairly bitter and loads of citrus aromatics. Good.

Refreshing pale ale with loads of hops - Australian brewers continue to get closer to their American counterparts in that regard. The aroma includes grapefruit and stone fruit. There is a slight aftertaste that could be oatmeal but I wouldn’t have known if they hadn’t told me. 750ml bottle from Tru Brew 17 Jan 15, have a squealer of it from Prince Wine Store. I am noticing the oatmeal flavour in the aroma much more this time, to the point where I want to put a peg on my nose. I would rate the aroma far differently (from 8 down to 4) if I was editing my final number but I’ll let the original taste stand (interestingly I’m using a new beer glass specifically designed, they say, for pale ales. I wonder if that’s why I’m noticing the oatmeal more.
