Can ordered from Left Field Beer. Cloudy pale gold. Thick frothy foamy white head with pretty decent lacing. Aroma combines a porridge and sweet fruit core with a delicate vinous strea and also lime as promised. Herbal. Flavourwise there is an initial burst of stone fruit. This is soon followed by lime and vinous sourness. However the sweetness remains with added sugary porridge. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Described as a XPA but more of a Hazy NZ Pale crossbreed. I likes it, though.

On tap at The Rusty Bucket, Eltham. Aromas of gooseberry jam, white grape, lime,lychee,. Flavours are a nicely balanced mix of the above. Quite a bittersweet number. Goes down very nicely.

Keg at Craft Beer Junction, 23/07/2025.
Hazed orange topped with an off white cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is bitter orange, grass, grapefruit, melon.
Taste comprises grapefruit, tangerine, light soapy notes, mandarin.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with mellow juicy come grassy hop bitterness.
Okay offering ... the soapy note is a little off putting for me.

Kind of sugary, oddly sweet and malty and grainy. Some ripe lemon. Bitter finish. Not great.
