650ml brown bottle. Bronzed amber pour with good sized off white head. Aromas of butterscotch and fruity hops (oranges, peaches) with a hint of peppery spices. Nice well integrated bittersweet flavour profile with a decent lingering hop bitterness at the end. Light-medium body with a clean mouthfeel and easy sessionability. Enjoyed this a lot.

Bottle from Dan Murphy’s. Great malty beer. Aromas of caramel and biscuit, with hints of cereal. Taste is sweet, with average length. Velvety, with a medium body. Amber, with a thin head.

Great bottle. Man sized and man looking to match. Lovely amber looking with nice white head. Caramel with some zesty hops. Lovely and would have again.

nice amber colour, lots of malt and some stonefruit in the aroma which follows through into flavour, definitely a good beer.

Made w/ wai-iti hops, which presumably means "little water" Cloudy amber w thin amber. Fruit nose w light ginger, marmalade, and lots of rich, earthy caramel malt. Rich bitterness collides with earthy crystal malt... The hops lose their aromatic subtlety, but the bitterness lingers well into the finish.

Pours Amber with good head formation and retention. Slight malty aroma. Flavour - lots of malt with caramel tones. Fruity hop finish. Low bitterness.

650ml bottle. Lots of light tan foam with aromas of hops and peaches.. Heavy in the glass with a copper almost red colour. Nice smooth flavour that goes down easy.

From a 650ml bottle on 4/6/2012. Pours a clear dark golden with a medium head. Has a moderate aroma of spices, caramel and a touch of fruit. The flavour starts with a big dollop of caramel and biscuity malt and moves onto to some sweet citrus fruits (particularly orange). As stated on the bottle, there is some spice and pepper to be found in this decently hoppy brew. Slightly unusual and quite enjoyable.

650mL bomber bottle. Pours golden sunset orange with a nice off white head. Aroma is fairly muted, slight hint of spice and citrus although that is generally typical of the style. This beer has flavour in spades, the nice grassey spice is perfectly mixed with a slight marmalade like citrus flavour. Quite sweet on the palate but also quite bitter so a nice balance.

(Bottle) Cloudy amber with nice dense fine head. Surprisingly little aroma, but pleasant: slightly hoppy. Lovely palate, very smooth and creamy from very fine carbonation. The taste starts with hops overlaying some pleasant, but not oversweet, caramel maltiness. Very nice bitter finish - good prominent hop bitterness, without searing the taste-buds. A good IPA with hops all the way, but not overwhelmed by them.
