(Can) Pours hazy deep amber with tiny white head. Lovely aroma of pine, orange and caramel. Full body, creamy, oily, great plentiful and soft carbonation. Great taste too. There’s a nice caramel malt as a backdrop. There’s fruit flavors, including orange, up front. There’s a lot of great hoppy bitterness in the finish. Alcohol is present. All very nicely balanced, maybe even a little restrained.

(Can) Pours clear amber brown with small white head. Pleasant but subtle aroma of toffee with hints of coconut. Light body with good plentiful soft carbonation. Tastes good. Dominated by a dark toffee malt with a hint of burnt sugar. There’s some notes of raisins. Not sure about ANZAC biscuit, but it’s very drinkable.

Nice! Lightly malty, good skunky hoppiness. Fruit and dankness. Some citrus. Good flavour for the strength. Good stuff!

From a 330ml can on 30/7/2019. Pours a very hazy medium golden with a medium head. Has a strong dank tropical fruit nose. In the mouth it's super sweet and juicy, with loads of fruit of all kinds. It's balanced out perfectly by a moderate peely, spicy bitterness. Fullish bodied with moderate carbonation. Like its little brother Rising, this is exceptionally good.

From a 330ml can on 29/4/2019. Pours a clear golden with a biggish foamy head. Has a very mild, slightly sweet malty, grassy aroma. The taste begins sweet, with lots of Anzac biscuit, a touch of the promised coconut, and some hints of toffee. There's a modest bitterness at the back, providing just enough to stop it from being a touch cloying. Full bodied with moderate carbonation. An okay novelty.

The diplomatic woman at the Otter's Promise _didn't_ say this isn't sweet garbage like most other beers with random crap in them, but that was the implication. Can. Clear amber with a white head that fades from a inch to a cm. Aroma is not obviously ANZACy with toffee, biscuit, weeds, spices. But a swig does show golden syrup, raisins and coconut. But they're not hugely prominent and the beer finishes reasonably dry with moderate bitterness and just a hint of darkish sugar. Malty but not flabby with a neat finish. Pretty good. --- Beer merged from original tick of The Larrikin on 25 Apr 2019 at 12:36 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7.

Can, Cellarbrations Balnarring. Can, Cellarbrations Balnarring. (I'll stop now.) Misty gold with a modest white head. Aroma of kumquats, spiced bread. Moderate carbonation. Dryish with bread, some boiled oranges and spices. Some pine emerges from the spices at the moderately bitter end. A lovely rye pale ale.

33cl bottle at Antarabangsa shared with Lubiere. Thick creamy white head. It's in a plastic cup so I can't see the beer. Nice bitterness. Easy drinking.
