On tap at GABS in Melbourne, May 2014.

Pours a golden, slightly cloudy colour. Cream-coloured head retaining nicely, could use a bit more density and a bit more colour in the body.

Smells fairly bland. Very meek fruity notes, with a touch of apple and maybe orange zest. What's meant to be here? Whatever it is, it ain't.

Taste is fairly bitter, and gets so quite early. Touch of grapefruit and a bit of pine resin, but doesn't really develop from the mid-palate onwards, it's a bit of a hit upfront and then goes nowhere. Fairly uninspiring.

Body is full, slight kiss of alcohol on there. Not bad.

Not a very exciting beer. Could definitely use some more hops, or something else. I know Murray's can do a mean-ass IPA; this isn't one of them.

Tried on-tap at GABS 2014 in Melbourne.

Pours a pale golden colour with a white head that forms a fine ring of suds around the outside of the glass. Body is very lightweight. Lacing is patchy, but not particularly persistent. Looks okay though.

Very mild on the nose. Neutral grain comes through along with a little bit of uninspired hops that give off a little pepper and some dull savoury notes. I'm surprised and a little shocked, to be honest.

Taste is not much better. Faint tart grain notes come through with the lightness of the body giving a dull pall to the rest of the beer. Some sprightly carbonation and prickly hops towards the back don't help. It ends up quite weak. Feel has a little bit of weight to it, but again, there's not much to work with.

Overall, I really didn't much care for this. It felt a little pointless, especially at GABS, but even when put up against a lot of Murray's other great beers.
