(Can) Pours clear amber with big white head. Lovely citrus aroma. Medium bodied with good full carbonation. Great taste with good citrus start, some nice toffee malt and plenty of hoppy bitterness. Excellent.

Backlog from 2020. Draft. An unclear yellow beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of citrus fruits, hops, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of hops, citrus fruits, and malt, leading to a bitter finish.

Can. Hazy but well short of opaque orange with a fluffy white cm of head that lasts pretty well. Vibrant peach and passionfruit aroma with a sharpening grassy spine, some lime and crackers. Dryish with tropical and stone fruit soon swept away by grassy and leafy peppery notes at the fairly bitter end.

Growler. Very clear amber with a good cm of white head that laces well. Aroma of pine, ruby grapefruit, crusty bread, some weeds, mango skin. A fair bit of body. Slightly toasty malt is rich but not all that sweet. Bitterness swells from the start but doesn't dominate. Piney but not raucous with mango skin and citrus a little further back. Not really showy, just very good.

Can. Unclear orange with no head. Doesn't smell quite like Tang - maybe a little bit of wheat cracker too. Moderately sour with lots of orange. Refreshing for a couple of mouthfuls but a whole can is a lot.

2022 version is 12%. Apparently NZ had some close calls with prohibition - didn't know that. Bottle from their Melbourne taproom. Black, fading brown head retreat to the rim but then perseveres. Big mocha and Bourbon aroma with blackberry reduction, vanilla. Silky, medium low carbonation. Very rich with lots of of chocolate and berries, less but still lots of roast, some pine, firm bitterness. Very good but perhaps a bit suffocating.

Can from their Melbourne taphouse. Moderately hazy orange with a fluffy white head that settles to a cm or so. 3+ Aroma of pineapple, mandarin, some Meyer lemon. Softish texture and initially juicy but with a firmly bitter finish. Nice one.
