Tap at Beer De Luxe, Fed Square, Melbourne. Poured a clear copper colour with a thin white head and lots of clingy lace. The aroma is malt, tropical fruit hop. The flavour is moderate bitter light sweet with a crisp, woody, sweet jammy citrus fruit, hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Medium bodied with average carbonation.
On tap at Gertrude Hotel: Pours golden with full bodied head. Big pine notes. Complex almost spruce flavours that are confronting yet balanced. Very well executed IPA.
Bottle. Pale amber with a white head. Aroma of toffee, pine, grapefruit, peach, some tropical fruit. The toffee and pine combine in a butterscotchy sort of way. Lowish carbonation. Very sweet with light toffee, peach, oranges rather than grapefruit, some spices. Moderately bitter finish. Sweet but clean works fine here. Good stuff.
