Can 0,355 ltr: Opaque black coloured brew with dry bitter taste, hints of peanut butter, roasted malts and some chocolate. I hate Dutch pindakaas but this American peanut butter ain't bad.

Can from Kerrera, Guildford. Aroma is chocker with stonefruit and pineapple. Underlying creamy porridge. Waxy pale orange. Unsightly floaters. Foamy white head recedes. Fruity and tangy. Fruit and resin contribute a bitter streak. But there's also a pulpy sweetness and sour edge. Porridge sweetness more evident into the finish. Medium bodied. Slick. Lazy soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish.

Can, 0.355l. Aroma of tropical fruit, citrus, melon and biscuit. Pours cloudy dark golden color with thin soapy off-white head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts juicy tropical fruity and citrusy, following is grainy, grassy and medicinal, mouthfeel is dry, while finish is pretty bitter. Medium body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. No dam worries…

Hazy gold with a solid, thin white head. Smells of juicy tropical fruit, with citrus and pineapple. Flavour has sweetness of those fruits too but a drier, hoppier quality too with grass, bitter lemon and grapefruit. Lingering, juicy and bittersweet finish.

Clear dark blond colour with quick fading head. Aroma and flavour are malty . There's not a specific honey taste. More like natural sweetness of malt akin to a German Helles.
