Bottle. Amber with next to no head. Sweet marmalade and citrus hops, followed by some biscuity malts and a trace of ash in the finish. Good.

Bottle. Amber with an inch of white head that lasts well. Aroma of kumquats, grapefruit, passionfruit, peach. Medium bodied, carbonation a little higher than I’d like. Taste is fruity and a little bready with only a little sweetness. Peach and tropical notes gradually overtaken by grapefruit and some pepper. Bitterness is medium but rings out in a dry finish. Not a lot of depth or character but does what it does very well.

From a 330ml bottle on 12/6/2013, ABV listed as 5.8% not 6.2%. Not clear why this is listed as retired. Pours a slightly cloudy light golden with a small to medium head. Has an exquisite aroma of passionfruit, mango and apricot, with some distinct floral notes. The flavour is all sweet tropical, stone and citrus fruits with a firm, satisfying hop bitterness featuring some subtle grapefruit. The body is medium to full and the carbonation perfect. This is a fantastic IPA, neither American or British in style - a true Aussie original. Well done Hawthorn!

(Bottle) Faintly hazy amber with almost no head. Lovely aroma of tangy stone fruit. Medium body with decent carbonation. Taste is good, with nice fruity tang over a light malt with reasonable hoppy bitterness in finish. A very acceptable APA.

This beer starts off pleasant enough with notes of honey, orange and loads of coriander seeds. Then it really takes off upon tasting, with a very refreshing taste of coriander and citrus reaching all the way down your throat. Very nice.

Pours deep amber with a fading head.Nose shows some tropical fruit, fruit confectionery, soft resinous hoppy notes and lots of sweet-smelling malt. Damn enticing!Pretty similar flavours, but not so much malt, although there’s pleasant bready notes. A fair bit of fruit again and some confectionery hints. Very easy-drinking.Could use just a little bit more carbonation.Great effort from these guys, showcases the hops perfectly and remains ridiculously drinkable at the same time.

From a 330ml bottle on 14/4/2012. Pours a clear golden with a biggish head. Has a pleasant fruity aroma with some caramel malt as well. This translates to the flavour, where caramel and toffee malt are most prominent, with some citrus fruit in the background. Finishes with a pleasant medium bitterness. This won’t set your world on fire but it’s a solid well made pale.

Pours gold with a quickly fading head.Nose shows soap, ham, citrus peel and doughy wheat. Refreshing but too soapy.Very similar flavours; soapy, orange peel and too much herbal coriander. Body feels watery, too much carbonation.

Bottle. Cloudy pale yellowish orange with a white head that soon disappears. Aroma of oranges, lemon, vanilla, coriander seed. A little watery. Slightly sweet, wheaty, quite pungent spices. I would have liked a bit more citrus character. Refreshing; a pretty typical Wit.
