(Can - but 2023 version is 5.4%) Pours brown with red hints and a decent off-white head. Gentle aroma of pine and citrus with toffee and floral hints. Light body with decent carbonation. Refreshing start is followed by dark toffee with hints of tea, and then a growing bitterness for decent bitter finish. Very drinkable.

Can, 12C. Dark amber with a cm of beige head that lasts OK. 3+ Bread with singed crust aroma. Rich and welcoming with bread and dark sugar before a little smoke and quite firm bitterness sweep that away. Always worth a try; maybe this year's is the best it's been .

Keg at The Bottom End, Melbourne. Melon aroma. Looks like hoegaarden. Slight haze and quick hop grass flavour.

Can. Fairly cloudy orange with a lasting cm of fluffy white head. Gentle aroma of melon, vague citrus, crackers. Fruity with more defined citrus that gives it some shape. Low bitterness but enough for a finish. Refreshing.

375ml can into schooner glass. From BWS, Glen Innes. Hazy golden beer with high fine carbonation, solid head of white foam. Patchy lacing. Nice nose, tropical fruit, turkish delight, orange juice. Nicely drinkable with a mild lingering bitterness. No world beater but nice enough.

A nice porter with aromas of belgian chocolate, toffee and lemon drops. Not too thick, but a little velvety nonetheless, with that chocolate and some grapefruit dominating the finish.

Bottle. Dark brown with a cm of beige head. Singed dark sugar aroma with hints of smoke. Pretty light bodied with singed dark caramel, a little roast and smoke, decent bitterness. Perhaps a little drier than some years. Good as usual.

9/11/2022. Draught at Station Bar & Woodfired Pizza, Katoomba. Pours murky orange gold with a frothy white head. Super yuzu, citrus, spiced aroma, with light banana and a hint of clove. Very balanced sweetness and tartness. Quite full bodied, smooth, soft carbonation. Very nice.

Hazy golden beer, white head. Light fruity aroma. Flavour doesn't have loads going on. Some bittersweet fruit, grassy hops. Decent balance of both in the finish. It's fine and drinkable but not exciting.
