From a 440ml can on 18/7/2026. Pours a hazy golden with a medium head. Has a bright tropical nose. Tastes very much as per the blurb on the can - peach mango, pineapple and passionfruit, leading into a moderate grapefruit/white grape bitterness. Silky mouthfeel with average carbonation. Beautifully balanced, very impressive.

From a 440ml can on 14/7/2026. Pours a deepest brown with a biggish deep tan head that disappears quickly. Has a lovely choc hazelnut nose. Tastes of milk chocolate, nutella and vanilla, finishing with a short sharp bitterness which has a touch of marzipan at the back. Has a syrupy mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. A very nice pastry impy, if not rising to the same heights as the recent IIIXIII.

From a 440ml can on 25/5/2026. Pours near black with virtually no head. Has a lovely strong choc coconut nose. On the sip it's a sublime blend of milk and dark chocolate, Cherry Ripe coconut, marshmallow and vanilla, leading into a firmish bitterness with a touch of roastiness that takes the edge of the sweetness perfectly. Has a slick, lightly syrupy, chewy palate with moderate carbonation. Wow, this is incredible. The best beer I've had in quite a while.

From a 440ml can on 24/5/2026. Pours an opaque deep amber with a big head. The nose features light banana and clove. Tastes pretty might like a dunkel hefe, with a bit of extra tang and spice at the back. Full bodied with average carbonation. More than decent.

From a 440ml can on 23/5/2026. Pours an ultra clear golden with smallish head. The nose features some orange and lemon, with a dash of pine. There's some biscuity malt and sweet citrus up front, leading into a mild to moderate but lingering pine resin bitterness, featuring some distinct lemony notes. Fullish body, with a slick palate and average carbonation. Unusually sweet for a WC, and pretty easy drinking for something this big, but has enough going on to keep you interested.

From a 440ml can on 21/4/2026. Pours a hazy golden with a medium head. The nose is punchy tropical and citrus fruit. Tastes of pineapple, passionfruit, mango, melon, orange, lemon and lime, with the last two presenting in a firmish tangy lingering bitterness. Presents as a heavy hitter with lots of flavour, character and general heft. Silky mouthfeel with average carbonation. Very nice stuff.

Can, bb 12/26. Clear golden amber with a fat cap of white head. Shyish aroma of kumquat, nectarine, boiled lollies. Fruit doesn't really sing in the taste either with stone fruit, lolly-like malt and nagging bitterness.

From a 440ml can on 17/2/2026. Pours a hazy golden with a big foamy head. Smells of orange and peach with a touch of lemon sherbet. All of that appears in spades on the sip, with some lemon and lime at the back. Has a firmish, lightly green finish that provides really nice balance. Pillowy mouthfeel with moderate to average carbonation. Another good'n from Canberra's best brewery.

Can. Clear mid brown, a beige head is soon less than a coat. Aroma of dried fruit, spices, dough - pretty recognisably the Chimay yeast. Lacks the rumble of the Blue but nice taut dough, dried fruit (perhaps a little much banana for me), spices that resist heavy-handedness. In that zone of strong for what it offers/ hides the alcohol well. Impressive.
