davidm (126), Melbourne, Australia Sep 7, 2009 Bottle 500ml. Fantastic beer. Powerful aroma of herbs, and also malt. Flavour is nicely balanced sweet and bitter, with long finish. Amber colour, with a stable medium-size head. Medium body with not too much carbonation. MesandSim (5790), London, Greater London, England Sep 1, 2009 A Mes rate. Bottle at home. Clean gold with a thin white head. Big fruity and bitter. Incredibly chewy and tasty. Slight mineral and sour notes. Fantastic bitter finish with great length from the Nelson Sauvin. Brilliant. Stew41 (1042), Caulfield, Australia Aug 30, 2009 Just a touch too much on the high powered hops side for my liking but the class in this beer is evident. Lots of citrus and grapefruit with a darker, bitter edge. The nose is actually quite soft and delicate with sweet passionfruit but the beer is much more serious to taste. Plenty of fizz here but probably appropriate to take the sting out of the hops and bitterness. Finish is bitter, dry, and almost a touch peppery. Stands up well on the world stage. aisha (2), New Zealand does not count Aug 23, 2009 copper orange with small head. Citrus, grapefruit notes to the nose. Flavour initially malty which finishes with lots of crisp grapefruit bitterness. bluevegie (2169), Perth, Australia Jul 29, 2009 Clear orangey golden body with large white head. Passionfruit, grapefruit and citrus notes on the aroma. Taste is fairly similar, plenty of bitterness but in a good way with the malts just supporting this beer. Very drinkable. Enjoyit (1695), Vadum, Denmark Jul 14, 2009 Clear amber of color with a small white head. An aroma of american hops, malt and grapefruit. A flavor of hops, malt and grapefruit. Dredd (484), Ormond, Australia Jun 25, 2009 classy beer, 15 kinds of hops huh? Aroma is great, hoppy and sweet. Flavour is also good, biscuity malts that are covered with some delicate hops.
Was expecting a sledgehammer of a beer but it has impeccable balance. bobinlondon (786), Harrow, Greater London, England Jun 22, 2009 Bottle at home. Amber orange with a white head. Good body and smooth carbonation. Juicey malt and refreshing piney citrus hops. The best beer that I’ve tried from down under.
