440ml can from Cloudwater online store in Manchester. A hazy golden/yellow coloured pour with a medium white head on top that lingers. Hoppy, citrus, orange, lemon taste, aroma is something similar. Easy drinking pale ale.

440ml can. Pours red with a thin off-white head. Aroma of raspberry, lime, not sure there's much mango. Taste is the same, I don't think I'm getting any mango but the raspberry and lime combo is really nice, good citrusy sharpness and acidity, good salinity, light sweetness, but it is quite boozy, I feel that's the main problem with this beer. Medium bodied, might have expected more at this strength.

I actually like that you can tell this is still a Gose in spite of the adjuncts. It's not without its faults but at least it's brewed to style. People just want super sweet custard-thick smoothies these days I guess.

440ml can. Opaque, darkest brown colour with average to huge, frothy, osteoporosing, minimally lacing, beige head. Roasty, dark malty and slightly citrusy fruity and grassy, hoppy aroma, hints of coffee, coffee grounds, lemon, orange, lime, some instant coffee, green olive, a touch of coconut, minimally zesty, waxy overtones. Taste is citrusy fruity, slightly herbal-leafy and minimally grassy hoppy, roasty, dark malty basis, hints of lemon, coffee, some tobacco, green olive, umami, coconut.
Oily texture, smooth, minimally greasy, simultaneously minimally dry palate, fine, dense, soft carbonation.
Slightly unusual flavours, some subtleties, nevertheless discreet, easy drinkable, homogeneous, unspectacular; cannot decide where to place this unobtrusiveness in a spectrum between ingenious balance and boring uniformity - pleasurable.

Sample, thanks fonefan! Viscous black, no head. Aroma of coffee, custard and tonka. Extremely sweet with full body and sticky mouthfeel. Syrup, almonds, soy sauce and custard, some coffee, Sticky, achingly sweet finish. A complete waste of expensive ingredients.
