Can. Unclear amber with a good cm of white head. Interesting tenor register tropical and pine sap aroma with some bread behind. Almost minty. Deep tenor register fruit and breadcrust before resin and a strong peppery bitterness come through. Very good.

Can. Clear deep red with a 1/2cm beige head. Aroma of breadcrust, toffee, some prunes, pine. Malty but much less sweet than guessed with breadcrust and caramel rapidly giving way to pine and peppery bitterness. A good quaffer. Not obviously English style.

Can. Pale amber, white head. Aroma of kumquat, pine, breadcrust, honeysuckle, weeds. Just medium bodied with enough breadcrust presence to seem substantial. Citrus, resin and subtropical notes before late grunty weedy and floral bitterness. Really good.

375ml can from Beer52. Slight haze, yellow pale with a small white head, nice retention. Aroma is citrus, passionfruit and a slight earthiness. Light bodied but with a nice carbonation zing to it. Taste is clean with citrus, grapefruit and slight pine. Moderate bitter finish. Nice and refreshing and although it could have more flavour, I did enjoy this.

Can. Clear tinny gold with a loosish inch of white head. Aroma of mandarin, pineapple, crackers. Drier than the led me to expect with the fruit giving way to pepper and a little pine at the snappy bitter end. Thirst crusher.

Can. Pale amber with a good cm of white head. Rather meek aroma with breadcrust, grapefruit, pine, hints of peach. Light bodied, a bit vacant in the middle for a strongish beer. Delicate citrus, peach, maybe hints of berries before moderate pine and bitterness. OK but surprisingly tentative.

Can. Unclear dark red with a good cm of pale beige head. Aroma of citrus, nectarines, caramel biscuit. Some cherries in the taste too which is fairly sweet with lots of fruit and a fair bit of bitterness. Only medium bodied with some pine helping to lighten the load a bit at the end as well. Pretty good in a style I rarely love.
