3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Hard yellow pour with a creamy white head and lace. Aroma is resiny hops and bready malt. Sweet bready maltiness and a decent resiny bitter finish. Just a tad light on maltiness but still a pretty tasty beer. A bit fizzy carbonation for my taste. I could drink a few.

Pours a clear golden hue with an amazing sweet citrus aroma.. wow love it. Has a sweet hop resin/citrus flavour upfront with a medium bitterness to finish. This is like a epic pale with more hop and i am a big fan.

At a tasting, thanks Ariel, pours orange to yellow with a medium head and a lively carbonation, aroma of peach, pineapple, malt, mango, pine and grass freshness, flavor is dry and bitter with some mint and grapefruit skin, quite refreshing, medium bodied
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Pine and slightly effervescent yeast in aroma. The flavor is mildly earthy along with bitingly bitter hops and a decent, bread/cracker-like maltiness. Nothing really out of the ordinary except for the slight earthiness, just a very good IPA that was well-made.

500ml bottle. It is like you are walking through a pine forest when you pour this into the glass, hops, hops and more hops, what more copuld you ask for. The fluffy white head hangs around for a while and sits atop the honey coloured beer. The flavour is intenmse and packed full of piney hops. On the palate it is full with the aftertaste going on and on. I think it would almost be a bit sickly if you had more than one bottle in a sitting. Epic in every way, this is smooth in the mouth with a velvet creamy feeling that penetrates all parts of the mouth. Another great beer from across the ditch.

Pours a darker golden color with a white head. Aroma is of floral hops, caramel malts, and some grass. Flavor is strong of the floral hops and earthy tones. Slight bitterness on the finish.
4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Strong hoppy aroma, which pours a golden/ amber colour. Taste includes passion fruit along with other fruits such as lychee. Top class IPA, which I hope I can grab more of in the future.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Dancing Camel. Thanks Ariel. Clear golden with a white head. Aroma has a bit of malt and some piney and citric, yet slightly old hops. Flavor has a bit of malty sweetness and decent bitter hoppiness with citrus and light stale notes. Medium-bodied. Decent.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle with a best before of 26.07.12...hope that is fresh. Pours with a clear golden yellow body with a large, frothy white head. Good color (low crystal hopefully). Looks like some high carbonation, good retention and lace. Aromas are grassy, minerally, stone fruit, light pine. Very mild grainy flavors. Tangerine, saw dust. Pretty clean yeast wise. Candied orange peel. Flavors are a bit disappointing. Straw like, a bit spicy, mild fruit hops. Light mango and dried fruit. Minimal malt. Bitterness is medium to slightly high. Some honey/biscuity malt, but mostly pretty bland overall (sadly). Missing the hop flavor punch (not bitterness) that I am looking for. Lively bubbles, and quite dry. A good basis. I don’t know if this is not fresh, or just not quite there. A very good attempt, and I bet better closer to the source (although still 8 months before the best buy date)!
