Bottle, special procurement. Dark amber. Small white head. Aromas of tropical fruit, including lots of pineapple. Body is far more woodsy, with a nice lingering but clean finish.

Jun 11, 2008 Hazy amber colour. Piney, minty, grapefruity hop nose. Moderate bitterness is herbal and earthy. Dry, woody finish. There’s balancing caramel throughout. A well-structured, highly drinkable brew.

Jun 8, 2008 Dark amber color. Citrus. strawberries, raspberries and pale malt all dominate the nose. Well balanced. Citrus and raspberry jam with a touch of caramel on the mouth. Moderately bitter finish.

Jan 10, 2008 Draught at the Redoak 6.5%. Let this one warm up for a good 20 min prior to drinking. Arrived a hazy amber with bronze highlights and a creamy white head which was mostly diminishing. Aroma was of grassy hops, passionfruit, grapefruit, caramel and notes of pine needles in the back. Taste was a firm hoppy bitterness with some grassy notes, passion fruit, orange citrus and some resin notes in the finish. Medium bodied with a dry texture, soft carbonation, and a good finish. Despite other ratings this IPA needed more hops.

Dec 14, 2007 Tap at Redoak. Looks fine - nice colour and head. Nice hoppy aroma and good palate. A little too bitter for the my taste and I think for the style. But a nice beer and it is good to find a beer in Australia with this style and bravado.
