From a 440ml can on 29/4/2025. Pours a clear medium golden with a smallish head. The nose is grassy, with some citrus and grape. On the sip, there's a light biscuit malt backbone, some sweet orange, lemon and white grape, finishing with a firmish bitterness with some light pine and resin. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Pretty solid.

(Can) Pours opaque golden yellow with small white head. Lovely aroma of citrus, tropical fruit and pine. Medium body with good fine bright carbonation. Great taste. Plenty of hops. Citrus fruit juice start develops herbal and earthy notes that develop through the palate. Pleasant moderate bitterness in finish. Very good.

440ml can. Pours a deep gold , clear with a small off white head. Aroma is mild malt & coffee, lasts right through the glass. Beer is medium bodied, sweet & smooth. Simple flavours of coffee & mild malts. The vanilla was probably lost to some hayfever.
Fine, but surely better as a dark stout.

Boozy, roasty, chocolate, needs to be warm. A tad thinner and less deep than it could be
