My boss gave me a tropical last night to try but still haven't tried it. Only had a couple of sessions but they were ultra impressive as they taste close to a Little Creatures Pale Ale which is my favourite.
Ironically I wouldn't like a session of sessions but would definitely enjoy one or two occasionally.
Amazing taste for a 4.2% beer.

Both are good but certainly hop driven for me. Adds a more complex character usually.

Currently trying out Feral Brewings - fox hat. On spesh at Dans so thought id try something different.

Not a bad drop. Well balanced hops and for a summer smasher better than most other lightish beers out there at the same mark of 1.3ish.

Just a refreshing light dark beer.

Very sessionable as it just slides down nice and smooth.
