This sort of beer is dumb of course, particularly packaged. But Wooden Leg was really good so... Canned 9 Sept. Clear amber with a large just off-white head. Big but not all that raucous aroma of tropical fruit - mainly mango, some lychee and feijoa - kumquats, light breadcrust. Hints of pine, menthol and booze. Nods at syrupy. Tastes much as it smells. Not massively sweet. Really quite smooth with just a slight harshness creeping in at the fairly bitter end. It's good but for me just pushes beyond completely pleasant at the end.

From a 375m l can on 26/9/2020 (shared by Butz with thanks). Pours a clearish deep golden with a small to medium head. The nose is boozy, with some fruit (curiously apple), resin and metallic notes. Starts out really sweet, with lots of caramel malt and citrus fruit, which is met by a strong, lingering, very resiny bitterness. The mouthfeel is rich and syrupy, the carbonation moderate. A passable big sipper, but a bit agricultural and lacking in definition. Happy to have tried but would not revisit.

Aromas of pine, resin, apricot, bread and lots of alcohol. It could be a lot harsher for a 12 percenter, but it's not a well put together beer. Certainly enjoyable to drink but not a classic
