Can from Bine & Vine. Pours copper with a creamy near-white head. Aroma is malty with some floral aspects. Med body. Malty it is - a rather clean malt - maybe that's the biscuity thing? Hop is very mild - either floral or fruit. Not all that dry, very lightly bitter. No false labeling on this can.

Can at Craft CG share thanks to LKS. It pours clear amber to copper with a small white head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, orange marmalade, candied orange peel, peach and resin. The taste is dry, bitter, sweet, sticky, orange marmalade, tangerine, kumquat, resin, toasty grain and alcohol kick. Medium body and fine carbonation. A bit old skool West Coast in style. Fair enough, but lacks depth.

Can from Bine & Vine. Pours hazy pink and juicy with a decent pink tinged head. Smells like nice raspberries. Not quite medium body. Flavor is very much like chewing fresh raspberries. A bit tart. A little berry sweetness. Nicely fruity. Extremely pleasing.

Can from Bine & Vine. Pours fairly dark brown with a beige, maybe tan, head. Roasty malt aroma. Not particulary burnt/toasted. Med body or so. Flavor is roasty malt, some unidentifiable (to me) hop, and arguably a slight, slight bit of chocolate. Pretty dry. Most of the flavor/bitter comes from the malt I think. Very tasty 4%er. Very sessionable!

Can from Bine & Vine. Pours incredibly hazy darkish gold with a humongous creamy/foamy head. Aroma is like coffee mixed with tropical fruits. Med body or better. Flavor is juicy, largely tropicals, but a coffee flavor permeates everything. It's not strong coffee, but it isn't lost in the fruits. Only a warped mind could have done this, but the result is actually pleasing. Fruitily undry, pretty hoppy, decently bitter, and very nice, tho not super strong, coffee flavor. Way off the beaten path, but exploration of the jungle can be good. This time it is.

Can from Bine & Vine. Pours pretty dark brown with a slight head that's arguably tan. Aroma does actually suggest chocolate brownies, but like they're soaked in water? Med + body. Flavor is wet chocolate brownie. How do I know wet? Trust me. I do immoral things to brownies. It's not dry. It's not sicky sweet. It's pretty near a chocolate brownie taste. Even to an earthy sort of aspect. At this ABV I'm perfectly fine with the fairly decent attempt at "brownie" flavor. Get it if you feel like a lot of alcohol with interesting flavor. Trust me.

Can at home in Hackney - cheers to Blipp for the trade. Pours clear honey-gold with a foamy, off-white head. Piney hops in the nose, orange peel, a hint of peach. Light to medium sweetflavour with moderate piney bitterness, some grass, oranges, citrus rind, sun-kissed pale malts. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Warming finish with a glance of resin, some assertive grassy bitterness, more dry pale malts, rindy citrus. Solid gear. A bit of a throw-back WC IPA.

Craft Tot Ct Rd. Bottleshare. Big thanks to Leightonfor the can. Hazy gold - orange beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth and soft palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Smooth malts bring a light creamy sweetness. Good vibrant orange and tangerine. Pink grapefruit. Mild pine. Smooth finish. Great hoppy citrus here.

Can from Bine & Vine. Pours lightly copper - somewhat translucent - with a white head. There's a very strong fruit aroma. Tropical? Pale stone? Both? Seems a dank wantabe. Med + body. Flavor is fruit and some toffeeish caramel support. So it's fruitily and maltily undry, but it's not very sweet. For fruit I'm going for orange and guava. Right or wrong - it's certainly complex for me. Not as bitter as I usually enjoy, but that doesn't seem to matter. Likin' it way too much.
