Appearance: an off-white head simply exploded up the side of the glass - it took a time for it to drop back to an extremely rocky two fingers. The body is a cloudy straw orange-yellow. Decent.
Aroma: some fruits, particularly citrus. Not much else. A little underwhelming.
Taste: picks up a bit here, but still fairly standard APA stuff. A bit formulaic but quite drinkable.
Aftertaste: some of the flavours linger through, a reasonable sessional ale.
Mouth feel: a bit flat and lifeless. A touch more buzz could have given the flavour profile a bit of a boost.
Overall: a drinkable but overall underwhelming and standard APA. The price was $AU12 a bottle direct from the brewer, so my wallet did a cost-benefit and says no...

From notes.
Bottle from brewery.
A - 3 finger pillowy head, cloudy orange amber body, superb.
S - Apricots, lychees, floral hops.
T - Hop bomb but unbalanced. Apricots to the fore and lemons. Significant hop bite on back palate.
M - Highly carbonated, somewhat sharp. Almost 'fizzy beer'.
O - A flavour bomb, but the taste fails to live up to the smell, and its unbalanced nature lets it down.

330 ML poured into a tulip
A-- Poured a hazy straw yellow color. Huge head to start and quickly died down to under one finger. Good head retention on swirl as it went back to massive status. Did not die as quickly after swirling. Small beads of carbonation on the sides of the glass. Some bands of thick lacing on the sides.
S-- Very faint hop smell. I got lemon, apple and bubblegum in the smell. Not at all what I was expecting. No real crispness to this at all.
T-- Lots of lemon in the font. Sort of a dishwater type lemon. Different.
M-- Back end holds some grassy notes. Get some fresh cut grass feel to this. Still a lot of lemon. Very carbonated.
D-- No real malt to speak of. Very lemon driven. Low ABV at 4.4% but would get tired of this quickly. One dimensional and on the dull side.

Tried on tap at the Paddy's Market Brewery Festival.
Pours a vaguely cloudy deep gold, with a filmy head of white foam, riddled with pancake bubbling. Lots of large-bubbled carbonation, lacing ok. Looks pretty decent.
Faint hoppy aromas on the nose, but disappointingly like Pride of Ringworm harshness. Some grain notes, a little selzer character. Can't say I'm overly enamoured, but it's not too bad.
Light fruit on the front, before a deep gritty bitterness makes its presence felt. Some light banana phenols on the back. All up, it seems pretty confused and chaotic. Mouthfeel ok, but not terribly exciting.
Can't say I'm a huge fan overall. It's not good stylisically, and neither does it present a particularly cohesive package striking out on its own path.

p - Well presented in a brown 330ml bottle nice blue label with a silver foil edge for the PA.
a - Pours a hazy light golden colour. A few scattered bubbles visible. A notable sized head which dissipates over time to leave a thin rocky layer of foam. A little lacing on the glass is left as it subsides.
s - Inviting citrus tones, a hint of grass, apple, lemon. Clean pale malts are there smoothing the nose and creating a good balance.
t - solid hop bite up front, herbal, grassy hops flavours hit first, a little cirtus in the back ground which drys the mouth out nicley, dry unripened berries. Apple skin flavours emerge as the beer settles and the front of the palate sweetens. The hops give a little room for the malt profile to come through; dusty malts, hay, crust-like flavours, in comparision to the hops the malt seems a little simple at times. Meanwhile the dry hop bitterness is still sitting on the back of the palate.
m - Quite high carbonation, frothy, thin body, drying and a little dirty.
d - Easy drinking PA a little smiple but otherwise a pretty solid example of the style.

Massive white frothy head. lots of lacing. Very pale with a bit of haze. Low carbonation.
Subdued aroma. Fruity, a bit yeasty. Back label mentions wheat so maybe some wheat twang, or might just be the yeast (if thats what it is).
Taste starts thin but fills out as it warms so dont be alarmed. Balanced with a nice finish of hops. Certainly not stretching the boundaries with this, bit it is easily drinkable. Crisp and light with a pinch of a bitter finish.
