Pours jet black with a thin dirty tan head that lingers around the glass. Loads of boozy dried fruit, molasses, prunes, dates, chocolate malt. Justca hint of a boozy kick on the end as it heads into more cocoa and dried fruit. Lovely!

Pours murky pale yellow gold with a thin white cap. A decent malty, grain led hit first up that mellows out with some red jammy fruit and melon vibes, a little prickly hop. Finish has some peppery hop bite, some refreshing melon and more grain. Decent AF kit.

440ml can from Farmers Bar, Avenue K. Poured a hazy yellow golden colour with a short-lived, frothy white head. The aroma is grainy, tropical citrus. The flavour is moderate sweet and bitter, with a fresh, smooth, grainy, juicy pineapple lime, light yeasty, hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Near clear gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light smooth palate, good fine minerally carbonation coming through on the back end. Light bodied pale malts, a lovely light creamy sweetness. Hops bring cooling pine into a bright honeyish stone fruits and lesser tropical fruits. Touch of Motueka lime leads a mild citrus aspect. Light finish. A very slightly sweet brew but, I could drink a shed load of this on a hot day.
