Refugee from the RateBeer shutdown (profile name Maris). If my ratings seem consistently high, it's primarily because I've got to the point where I mainly drink the styles I like best, from the breweries who I know produce consistently good gear.

8.1/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 8 Flavor 9 Texture 7 Overall 8.5
From a 440ml can on 29/5/2026. Pours a cloudy dirty golden with a medium to biggish head. The nose features punchy citrus with some stone fruit in the background. Sweetish up front with a combo of mandarin, mango, peach and white grape, leading into a super tangy lemony finish, with mild to moderate bitterness. Has a lovely silky palate with average to lively carbonation. Bold, intense, lovely.

Thor's Hammer from Blackflag Brewing (Coolum Beach, Australia 🇦🇺)

7.5/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
From a 750ml bottle on 27/5/2026 (shared by Des on Origin night with thanks, 10.8 standard drinks in the bottle!). Pours a dirty, opaque brown orange with barely any head. The nose is fruity and malty with more than a whiff of the whisky booziness. The sip presents a combo orange, caramel and dates, leading into a moderate bitter finish with some zesty citrus with some big whisky notes in the background. Definitely has a bit of barley wine character to it. While you won't mistake it for a light, the 18.3% is reasonably well hidden, albeit that it saw me through my half bottle share last me an entire game of footy. Full bodied with a slick palate and moderate carbonation. Beers this big can be hard work but this one actually works rather well. Not sure if I'd seek it out for a second go, but definitely glad to have tried it.

From a 440ml can on 26/5/2026. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a smallish head. Has lots of freshly squeezed fruit on the nose, with lots of citrus and stone fruit prominent. Taste wise you get lots of nectarine, with some mandarin, peach, mango and lemon finishing with a somewhat green, herbal bitterness with a dash of the promised pine. Full bodied with average carbonation. Very different to the usual cloudy types these guys excel at, but just as impressive.

9/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 9 Flavor 10 Texture 8 Overall 9.5
From a 440ml can on 25/5/2026. Pours near black with virtually no head. Has a lovely strong choc coconut nose. On the sip it's a sublime blend of milk and dark chocolate, Cherry Ripe coconut, marshmallow and vanilla, leading into a firmish bitterness with a touch of roastiness that takes the edge of the sweetness perfectly. Has a slick, lightly syrupy, chewy palate with moderate carbonation. Wow, this is incredible. The best beer I've had in quite a while.
