Clear amber beer with a large white head. Aroma is malty with notes of red berries, citrus, mango and caramel. Flavor is malty with notes of caramel, roasted malt, red berries and bread.

Hybrid English/US style. Lots of malt, but also a lot of quite bitter and resinous hops. Really quite a big bitter flavour. Lots of burnt toffee/caramel.

Format: standard 330mL solid brown bottle, standard Mountain Goat-esque craft label.

Appearance: a deep orange-copper body with light red highlights. Looks quite viscous, with small fine carbonation across the profile. A very thick one-finger beige head sits on top before slowly dropping to an extremely creamy and rocky half-finger. Looks fantastic.

Aroma: a pleasant aroma of pine and resin hops and some citrus fruits, grass and some floral, with a touch of malt behind.

Taste: again the pine and resin up front with a good dose of bitterness. Quite heavy for an IPA in that it has a strong earth and caramel malt flavour behind. Dulls the hops somewhat.

Aftertaste: the bitterness lingers with a lasting sweetness, but most importantly the hop flavour lingers, not just hop bitterness.

Mouth feel: a fairly heavy and viscous body with moderate carbonation. Possibly a bit too heavy, with too low a carbonation to bring those hops forward as much as possible. Still, very drinkable.

Overall: quite a nice English IPA, but funnily enough this one has a bit too much enphasis on the malts rather than the hops. A nicely complex beer and great on the nose, but to taste it is almost a bit too malt-heavy. Still, a really good-quality and easy-drinking English IPA. AU$85 a case.

Cloudy caramel body with no almost no head

Smell of sweet caramel that is followed by hops and floral scent. Added hint of citrus.

Taste of sweet caramel followed by bitter hops that is nicely balanced. Bitter aftertaste

Overall. Well balanced beer that is easy going. Fantastic beer.

Very nice IPA - although found it more of an American style IPA than an English IPA

aroma: malt, citrus, spice and caramel

Taste: strong grapefruit presence (especially at start) followed by pine with pepper and spice, along with slight citrus and caramel to support it. A nice clean hop taste with a good back-end kick.

A very good IPA by an Australian brewery which isn't too far behind ferals hop hog - very enjoyable to drink

A: Super clear copper colour. Long lasting dense fluffy head. Tons of lacing.
S: No real hop aroma. A little bit of sweet malt.
T: Balance of malt and bitterness. Not to much hop flavour. Toffee and a tiny bit of pine. Clean bitterness.
M: Nice crisp finish.
O: Nothing overly complex but still a nice beer.
