4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Had this on tap at the Hargreaves Hill Brewery in Yarra Glen.
It is bursting with fruity hoppiness with passionfruits leading the way.
It is a drink a lot of beer and it is to be highly recommended

UPDATED: NOV 21, 2009 Tap. Deliciously bitter. Great in the nose, with floral, spices, and caramel aromas. Flavour is bitter and long-lasting. Orange colour, with a white frothy head. Medium body, and velvety in the palate.

Hazy golden colour with a thick white head. Fruit on the nose, smells great. Beautiful bitter touches to a subtle fruit flavour - very nice beer.

UPDATED: JUN 30, 2008 Golden with a fluffy white head. Massive hoppy aroma, reeks of dry hopped goldings which works so damn well, soft bready malts and fruity esters come through much more softly. Great mouthful, smooth and light but also complex and fairly bitter.. the malt character shines through a bit more here too. Flavours of piney, resiny hops and more of that beautiful rounded maltiness. The best beer I’ve had in quite some time. Bottle this stuff please I could drink it all day.
Update:
I’ve had this stuff a few times recently and tis cascade all the way... A full blown APA

On tap at The Healesville Hotel, ESB? nope. good? yes! amber orange colour, aroma of passionfruit and cirtus fruits, big passionfruit in flavour again along with caramel malts. Moderate/big bitter finish. I would say this is overtakes LCPA.

Bottle. Pours a very cloudy golden amber with a smallish slightly off white head. Head falls away to almost nothing. Not the best looking beer. Aromas are brilliant and not really what I was expecting. Heaps of US style hops with plenty of grapefruit and passionfruit coming through. Some sweet light caramel in support but this one is mainly about the hops. Flavours of sweet malt initially followed by lots of resiny hops. Mouthfeel is just about spot on. Have really been looking forward to trying this one and most definately not disappointed.

33 cl bottle from cold refrigerator poured into tulip glass. Golden copper color with large beige head that dissipated quickly leaving a few inches of lacing. Hoppy, citrus, grapefruit nose. Yeasty taste with citrus / hop flavors. Really nice, drinkable beer. Could have had a tad more body but would definitely have another.

330ml bottle. Deep amber colour with a crown of generous light white foam. Looks like it packs a punch and the aroma is full and inviting with toffee in the nose. Strong intense flavour that leaves a nice lingering aftertaste. Well balanced and a good represntation of the style.

had this one on tap at the tap house. Nice golden colour, excellent head. Earthy, grassy and hop resin aromas, smells good. Nice hints of malt in the flavour, well balanced ale. Just tastes similar to a lot of ales out there at the moment.

Bottle @ Oz’n’NZ tasting 2011. [thanks bluebetty]
Pours hazy orange-amber with a small, creamy, off-white head. Aroma is sweet, some malts, light caramel, grapefruit and a bit of lemon. Medium carbonation, great light and dry mouthfeel. Flavour is lovely crisp, toasted malts, crystal malts, light doughy, grassy, light peppery. Light grapefruit. Wonderful balance between malts and hops.
