Can. Pale gold with an inch of white head. 3+ "Hoppy New World twist" means NZ hops - tropical fruit, grass, some woody herbs. Clean firm pale malt with a tiny hint of biscuit. Not as lean as some Kiwi examples but dry enough at the end. Could have used a little more bitterness. But a solid pils.

From a 375ml can on 3/11/2017. Pours a hazy dark golden with a medium head. The nose is balanced with equal part caramel malt and fruity hops. The balance continues in the flavour - there's a big malty backbone with caramel and toast, followed,by a good dash of sweet citrus and stone fruit. The hops are big - herbal, with some rye and resin, really coating the mouth. Medium bodied with moderate to average carbonation. It actually feels bigger than 6.2%. Certainly bears more than a passing resemblance to its big brother, the wonderful Mega Hop. This is a really tasty, impressive malt driven IPA. Just lovely.

From a 375ml can on 13/9/2017. Pours a hazy dark golden with a small head. Has a light caramel nose with some sweet fruit in the mix. Taste wise, there's lots of caramel and biscuit malt, followed by lots of sweet fruity goodness - apricot, peach and mango. The hops are big, piny and resiny, balancing out the sweet fruit and maly beautifully. The palate is quite syrupy and sticky. Just a sensational DIPA - bold, intense, complex and balanced. How wonderful to see Aussie brewers producing big beers which are every bit as good as those made by quality brewers in the US.
