Lucid, gold beer with abundant, sustained carbonation unlocks a cotton, cloud-white head that won't exceed even one finger and decorates the top truly long.
The fragrance is a bit soapy, accompanied by a tad lemon pulp and lemon peel. The palate offers standard pale malt, substantially shy hops and a faint lemony whisper. The body is really light. The beer finishes hastily with light-malty and skinny-hoppy aftertaste.
The mouthfeel is thin, fresh, slightly spritzy and relatively bulky.

Lucid, amber beer with strong, long-lasting carbonation creates a soft, clean white head that first rises up to one finger tall and dissolves soon to frazil-icy lacing wafting on the surface.
The nose receives a hefty tropical package: first I find sweet melon, followed by mango, banana, papaya, orange zest and a drop of squeezed mandarine. I also get a lovely note of bubblegum -- not sure if it's part of the style but there it is.
The taste receptors sense standard wheat malt with a bit of fermented banana. I also find lemon zest, bitter orange peel and a pinch of wheat flour.
The light-bodied beer ends with somewhat bitter wheat malt, a small heap of wheat flour, some relatively bitter fermented banana and a small dollop of pressed lemon pulp. The aftertaste has a short to medium duration.
The mouthfeel is light, a bit stuffy, somewhat juicy and tropical. Tasty but nothing mindblowing.

The whole day snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef. Awesome! 🐠🦈🦀🐟🐢
This brewery has one of the most exotic names I've ever encountered with. The brewery's beers are also really difficult to find: they currently supply only to a few bars in Cairns. This backpackers' hostel has the best selection (4 beers and 1 cider which was finished) in town. The bar is in its backyard, if you plan to visit the watering hole, ask the reception, they'll guide you to the right place.
Ok, the beer. Clear, amber beer with abundant, sustained carbonation builds a one-finger snow-white, tightly packed head that adorns the top for significantly long.
The scent is not particularly tropical but rather that of a nice, standard IPA. I get a bit of grapefruit, some lemon peel and a pinch of spruce tips.
The tongue receives strong-hopped malt, bags of lemon peel, a tad grapefruit and a good amount of spruce needles. I also find a drop of resin among the gustatory elements.
The body is light-medium to medium. The beer finishes with rather crisp piney hops, a good amount of strong malt, a tad bread and bittersour citruses, especially lemon peel, a bit of lemon zest and recognizeable grapefruit. The aftertaste rolls on tongue for some time.
The mouthfeel is crisp, a bit sharp, somewhat coniferous and medium-strong. Good old style!
