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.

Still going with the Counter Culture moniker post sell-out, I see. Can. Just unclear pale amber with a cm of white head. Aroma of tenor register citrus, passionfruit, some mango and melon, bread. Bittersweet taste with first citrus - more grapefruit than kumquat - prominent, then mango and passionfruit come through and finally it's a bit resinous towards the firmly bitter but not quite dry finish. Complex and fresh hop aromatics here - I guess the Galaxy, Eclipse, Enigma and Vic Secret are all Tasmanian? Good.

Bottle. Only a touch of smoke this year - chocolate, honey tiny teddies, a little roast. Decisive bitter finish makes it. Involving drop with fine balance.
