Pours a lovely orange colour with soft bubbly white foam (approx 1cm)
Real nice fruity nose too:pineapple/fruit salad.
Soft on first sip, then a bit of passionfruit. The malt and orange flavours come thru and the hops pretty balanced, certainly not over the top.
This coats the mouth nicely- carbonation is mild- the bitterness hangs around for a bit but doesn't outstay it's welcome.
This is the first time I've had this from the bottle- from memory the tap version, which I totally loved! is more cloying and boisterous in it's flavours and hoppiness, so in many ways this is kinda dissapointing yet a fine drop all the same.

Nice fluffy white head 1cm high.
Copper gold in colour.
Sweet citrus/tart, zingy and tangy that finishes quite bitter all over the tongue.
This is a very good full flavoured IPA, not over powering and very more-ish.
Very similar to The Red Oak 'American IPA' but that costs $14 from memory.

I haven't had this or seen it since but I do remember really liking it and thinking that it had 'the taste of summer' in a beer glass. So I'm dying to try this again to see if it meets my memory of it.
