From a 375ml can on 27/7/2019. Suspect this version of Uppercut should have a separate entry. My can has no reference to 'Round 5', is 8%, and is described as a DDH IIPA. Pours a clear medium godlen with a medium head. The nose is fairly muted with juts a bit of pine and resin. Reasonably sweet and fruit forward up front, with citrus the primary feature, with some mild biscuit malt in the mix. The hops are big and resiny, but somehow fail to mesh together with the rest of the beer. Full bodied with average carbonation. A touch rough and disappointing.

Can, 8%. Just labelled Uppercut. Canned 8 April. Gold with a small white head. Grapefruit, some berries, pineapple, pine. Barely medium bodied. Quite sweet with more tropical fruit than evident in the aroma. Flutters of resin and alcohol. Dry with fairly high bitterness at the end.

Oh, God this is good. Aromas of passionfruit, grapefruit, orange, honey, pine and more. The hops dominate more on tasting, but it's amazingly smooth for an 8% drop. A winner.
