500ml glass at Biera - made with Aussie Vic's Secret and Yankee Simcoe hops, hence the name.

This beer appears a clear, bright medium copper amber colour, with two hefty fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat chunky off-white head, which leaves some decent awkwardly webbed lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.

It smells of slightly dank pine resin, generic citrus rind, a further muddled tropical fruitiness, bready and crackery cereal malt, some damp minerality, and more leafy, weedy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, still kind of mixed exotic fruity notes, ethereal domestic citrus peel, some hard water stoniness, and more understated leafy, herbal, and floral noble hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly active in its palate-tickling frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and mostly smooth, but for a mild hop acridity marring the surface sheen here. It finishes veering towards dry, the malt hanging up its skates for the lingering day.

Overall - this comes across as a pleasantly rendered version of two physical brewing worlds uniting, with the aim of creating something new. Once again, it's difficult to define an offering from this outfit, because that's how they apparently prefer it.
