I had a 330ml bottle. This beer won a bronze medal in the Craft Beer Industry of Australia 2014 Craft Beer Awards in the 1J category American Style Pale Ale.
Appearance: pours golden Amber colour with good clean white head. Looks good.
Aroma: nice fruity hops very evident and very appealing.
Flavour: fruity citrus hops flavour follow through on the palate and very refreshing flavour with good level of carbonation. Malts for core flavour are great with good balance of sweetness and bitterness.
Overall: really liked this beer with excellent fruity aroma and flavour with very balanced and refreshing finish.

Pours a hazed golden copper hue with a bubble packed three finger creamy head and clingy lacing everywhere,the smell is passionfruit,fresh orange peels,lemon sherbet and grapefruit,the mouthfeel is medium bodied and well carbonated maybe a little too much carbonation and has tastes of stonefruits,passionfruit,lychees,kiwi fruit,sherbet,bubblegum and finished with a citrus bitterness and overall i like this drop as its very sessionable while still having a great tasty hop character only complaint is the carbonation as its abit full on cheers.

Pours dark amber with a massive head.
Nose shows some fruity hops along with sweet crystal malt. Pretty decent.
Similar flavours, lots of crystal malt and some soft fruit and resinous hops.
Carbonation seems a bit full-on.
Pretty solid attempt at the style.
