3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20Redish tan color that is slightly cloudy, aroma is sweet and hoppy, has a really good dry bitter flavor and finishes with a light hop.
Thinker
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Biscuity malts with vegemite and earthy flavours. Some citrus and peaches and spice and lots of great things going on. Not sure I’d call it an IPA, but anyway that is a minor quibble.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
A - Hazy orange brown. 1 finger head that sinks quickly.
S - Mandarin oranges are the first thing I smell. Soft pine mixed in as well. Bready pale malt.
T - Honey and lemon flavors that remind me of a cough drop. A very faint amount of citrus hops. A watered down bitterness. Infected?
M - Medium body, moderate carbonation.
This must be extremely old because this is not a great beer. The flavors are weak and watered down. Has an artificial taste to it. I’ll try it again and update the review.

Pours hazy golden orange with a big lacing head. Lemon, biscuit and a bit of caramel on the aroma. Sweet malt character fades into a crisp citrus finish. Medium carbonation. A bit of residual bitterness. A very nice, sessionable beer but not too complex or extraordinary.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Hmm, i excpected a lot more flavour than this. It’s actually light! nothing unpleasant at all but just a bit average. good value though
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pour a slightly hazy bright gold. Thin head with good lacing. Citrus hops aroma. Refreshing, flavors not too complex. Some lingering bitterness and astringency.
2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle. Pours a cloudy yellow straw, orange color with white head. Aroma is cereal and yeasty with very little hops. Possibly old? Not very inviting. Taste is bland with some cereal taste and some hops. Hops show up a little more as it warms. Decent but nothing to revisit.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
12 oz bottle pours orange and hazy with patchy lacing. Mild floral and citrus hop aroma with herbs/spices. Light to medium body and clean and crisp feel. Grassy herbal flavor with medium bitterness. The finish is clean, bitter and dry. It’s OK.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft->shaker. Cloudy gold with frothy white head. Aroma and taste are citrus hops. Straightforward, bitter and dry. Decent.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
From a 355ml bottle on 24/3/2013. Pours a cloudy goldent orange with a small foamy head. Has a slight fruity aroma, but really doesn’t have a typical IPA aroma. The flavour is better, with some nice sweet citrus fruit up front and a very firm grapefruity bitterness at the back. There’s not much malt to experience here. The carbonation is lively. I wouldn’t necessarily complain if I had to down a few of these but as far as IPAs go, there are many better examples out there to be found.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Hazy orange with white head. Aroma is soapy citrus. Flavor is balanced to far to the bitter side and it is extremely dry.
