On tap at GABS festival, May 2014.
Pours an amber colour, clear with large bubbly head, off-white in colour. Looks alright; nice colour to the body.
Smells hoppy and good. Loads of fruit with mango, peach, orange, passionfruit and pineapple all vying for my attention. Touch of cedar wood and a bit of dry spice. Lovely melange.
Taste is all hops again. Apple notes with mango, peach, passionfruit and a grapefruit edge towards the back. It gets progressively bitter with that character, mixing with fruit just a little uncomfortably. Again a touch of cedar wood character as well. Maybe not my ideal hop blend but it certainly packs a lot of good flavours in.
Full body, slight warming alcohol and slight tingle from carbonation. Not bad at all.
A little heavy, but a typical Dennis fruity hop delight. These guys definitely know how to use hops.

Tried on tap at GABS in Melbourne.
Pours a deep golden colour tending towards a pale amber. Some hazing comes through. Body is very heavy, which is not surprising at 11.9% ABV. Head is yellow-white and forms big frothy bubbles of residue and lace. Looks good.
Huge initial hit of hops on the nose. Big fruity sweetness almost tending towards candy brightness. Like on their Mad Hatter I get reminiscences of Redskins candy from childhood. Mostly it's bucketloads of hops though, and it's done with great style and power. I'm impressed.
Light entry on the palate with that aromatic candy sweetness coming through. This develops into a big true sweetness on the mid-palate, backed with an almost tea-like hop fragrance. Back does have a touch of the booze, but it's well hidden given its strength. Aftertaste lingers for a long time with plenty of clean bitterness. Feel is very smooth and tingly.
Overall, this is a cracker of a beer. Where's that 12% ABV? Were I a skeptical man I would say they're overclaiming—but I choose to believe that it just shows the skill of these guys that it ends up being as damn drinkable as it is for the strength.
