310mL pour from Local Taphouse Darlo. Reviewed from notes.
Apricot body with a modest chill haze. Decent white head retains and laces well.
Fruit-salady aromas of orange-mango, pineapple, and grapefruit. Barely there but adequate malt backbone.
Tropical punchbowl charcter quickly gives way to a fairly bracing clean minty and resinous pine bitterness.
Syrupy and full. Unfortunately there's an increasingly evident volatile, solventy booze character which makes it trying to drink and ultimately smothers the flavour profile.
Not the best hop expression for a IIPA but still very solid. Drinkability really lets it down. Suffers in comparison with IIPAs like Abrasive that carry brilliant aroma character through the flavour
profile while drinking like 5%

310ml glasses thanks to spicelab & danieelol at The Local Taphouse, Darlinghurst.
Orange golden appearance with an off-white head. Nice foam retention and good looking beer.
Good nose, particularly upfront. A good mix of mango, pine, grapefruit and passionfruit. As it warms up the alcohol comes to the fore, and it's a bit of booze that comes in over the top.
Pretty bitter, before the booze comes into play. Prior to that its grapefruit and pine and pretty solid.
Bitter to start with and then the alcohol takes over. Good body to it, but the alcohol comes to the fore.
Solid beer. Impressed with the attention to freshness of Feral to keg this on the 24th of April and send in refrigerated trucks to venues around the country. By no means world class, but hopefully this beer will improve with each batch. Also hoping it gets brewed again without a handful of years in between sightings.
