Pours amber, small head.Nose shows strawberries, little else, super clean aroma.Flavours include more strawberries, a gentle acidity that mixes in with the strawberries well and some white wine notes.Carbonation could be a bit higher.

Can. Just pinkish gold with a white head that fades a little slower than Champagne mousse. Aroma of yeasty crackers, strawberries. Light bodied, carbonation is only medium-high (lower than it looks). A deft balance of sweet, sour, and crackers. The strawberries are more a waft than a theme and that works well. It's a bit grapey but the sourness almost stops you from thinking wine cooler. Some light spices at the dry end. Very clever but not really for me.

(Can) Pours hazy pink red with tiny white head. Subtle aroma with watermelon and hints of mint and cardboard. Light body with good fine carbonation. Taste is unusual, very unusual. Watermelon and cucumber are distinct. There’s some slightly harsh bitterness in the finish. Malt is barely present and the mint is pretty low in the mix. Glad I tried it, wouldn’t choose it again.

Bottle - kept this a while because I enjoyed last time's more in December than June. Pretty much black with a tan head that gradually settles to a fat coat. Smells quite sweet with dark, singed sugars, prunes, coffee, licorice. Like last year's it's not as sweet as expected and the smoke and quite firm bitterness grip nicely. A fair bit of licorice. Satisfying drop.

Can. Chocolate nose. Gold in colour. Once you get over the slight mindbender aspect, this is an overly sweet almost milk stout. The chocolate is very prominent, but more like milk chocolate than dark...

Can. Hazy pink gold. Cucumber nose. Watermelon comes through also flavourwise, but mint is very sparse. Would have liked more mint than cucumber. Works well on sunny afternoon still.

375ml can into shaker at Orion Hotel, Springfield QLD. Amber beer with a pink hue. Large foamy white head. Smells fruity and herbal, a little mint. Light body and mouthfeel. Finish is, yep, watermelon, cucumber, and mint. Good tasty quaffer, excellent.

Tap at the Great Northern Hotel, Melbourne. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a mostly lasting frothy off white head. The aroma is roasty malt, burnt treacle, maple syrup. The flavour is moderate sweet, with a smooth, rich, toffee caramel, oily, sweet maple syrup palate. Medium to full bodied with soft carbonation.
