Can. Gold with a fluffy white head. Aroma of grainy bread with hints of buttered corn,; spicy, floral and lemon notes above. Not all that sweet but the feel of richness lingers until tidied away by moderate bitterness leaving flowers and spices. Pretty good - a bit more bitterness would have suited me.

This version canned 20 Oct is 10% ABV and is clearly an INEIPA. Pretty risque can art. Opaque orange with a white head that's soon a coat. Aroma of peach and apricot nectar, some lime and pineapple. Just short of syrupy, lowish carbonation. Sweet with lots of fruit, little else. Bitterness is pretty low but there's a grassy and herbal burn that kind of does the job at the end.

From a 375ml can on 14/11/2020 (shared with Butz). Pours a slightly hazy medium golden with a smallish head. Has a modest citrsu and stone fruit nose. It's quite sweet with a biscuit malt backbone and stone fruit sweetness, along with some tropical notes. The bitterness is quite modest. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Pleasant and very easy drinking for the size, but not particularly noteworthy.

Can. Very sightly unclear amber with a puffy inch of white head that lasts OK and laces well. Aroma of kumquats, pineapple, passionfruit, breadcrust. A fair bit of body, medium carbonation. As described, it's not trying just to be hoppy. Sweet with breadcrust, some stone fruit and tropical fruit then resin and a touch of warmth towards a firmly bitter finish. Very good - but not as impressive as normal Ace.

Can from Winerack at home. Transparent copper ruby pour with white head. Aroma is heady pine resin and some chlorine/soapiness. Very West Coast style. Taste is same - dank resin pine bomb. Some biscuity sweet malt to balance. Medium heavy alcohol at the end. Relatively light but smooth palate. Lingering warmth and bitterness.

Can, 11C - don't know whether this was right - perhaps colder? Black. A light tan head is soon a rim and island. Aroma is indeed of ginger nuts and some orange with light roast and licorice peeking out from behind. Rather thin. Plainly sweet. There isn't enough stout to stand up to the ginger, but the ginger itself is nice. Lacks much of a finish.

Can. Deep black, flat and thin. Cough medicine nose. Cherry and ginger abounds. Fun but not astounding.

Can, Recipe V2.0. Just hazy gold with a large white head that fades fairly quickly. Aroma of pithy citrus, some biscuit, mango, pineapple. 7+ Assertive getting towards burning fruity hops and not a lot else. Not a patch on normal Ace.

Can, 4.6%. Clear pale gold with a white head. Aroma of passionfruit and grapefruit, crackers. Light bodied, really quite fizzy. Only a little sweetness with passionfruit and some citrus before a dry and slightly spicy finish that's tidily bitter. A pleasant dust cutter.

Can. Translucent gold with a cm of white head. Aroma of kumquat, peppery pine, crusty bread. 7+ Just medium bodied. Soft, a little dirty. Some mandarin as well as kumquat - they float above the malt flavours until peppery and slightly resinous bitterness ties things up. Cheery if a mite unpolished.
