Photo doesn't do justice to the colour
Red-y orange colour
Nose is faint
Flavour is full & powerful
Sweet and luscious toffee rather than chocolate
Rich but not over powering
Sweet bitterness finish ... Hangs round a little
Not sure I could or should drink alot of this, it remind me a little of port but it would make a nice apertif- to finish off a meal or as a nite cap

Nice foamy white head
Orangey amber colour body
Fruity goodness on the nose
and their it is- that fruity lively taste of summer-
It's a little tart. Sweet and sour in one mouhful- blood orange but with a bitterness on the end that kinda lingers but doesn't distract.
The sweetness up front makes me want to keep on sipping at it.
I really like this tho the bitterness at the end is really surprising me- it's kinda cloying I must say, BUT I keep on going back to it for that initial taste of summer thing it has going on up front.
It's worthy as one of the best IPA in Australia and I'm sorely tempted to get a case for summer....The tart bitterness is really getting full on
