Pours an amber colour with dense cream-coloured head, looks very nice indeed. Bit clearer than I may have expected but looks good.

Smells very hoppy. Fruity hoppy though, with lemon, green apple and pineapple notes, quite NZ-esque. Not quite what I expected. Nice, but just hops, would expect more funk.

Definite grapefruit bitterness on that. Not a huge amount of malt upfront, just enough. Grapefruit and pineapple on the hops late that gets quite bitter. Subtle barnyard saisony notes late. OK.

Full body pads out the hops and potential funky dry finish nicely. Nice.

Nice enough; could use more saison though. Simple hops otherwise.

A grapefruit Farmhouse IPA brewed for GABS in Melbourne, which is where I tried it on-tap.

Pours an orange golden colour, slightly hazed in the glass with a fairly solid body behind it. Head forms a light, firm white, fuzzy with bubbles. Carbonation forms in small but independent bubbles, reiterating some of the weight in the body. Looks pretty good.

Nose is pleasant, but fairly light overall. Some sweet citrus comes through along with a more generic hoppiness, backed up by a little hay-like funk. There's just not much of it, which is a shame, but the flavours are very pleasant.

Light, citric entry on the palate, which is also sparkling, providing a suggestion of seltzer weakness. Citrus comes through the centre giving a bit more fruit and a more generic "hoppy" IPA character again. Clean and rounded on the back with a little sweetness, although the aftertaste drops out very quickly. Nice weight to the body at least while it's there.

It's a nice beer all up. There are some good bits to it. If it's a little light overall, it also helps it in being pretty drinkable. I liked it.
