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.

Can. Clear amber with a dense 2cm white head that lasts really well and leaves rings of lacing. (A v rare 5.) Floaty tropical aroma with passionfruit flowers, herbs, light bread, some lemon. 8- Medium bodied, fairly high carbonation. Some jube-like sweetness before a fruitier tropical taste yielding to pine needles and a moderately bitter finish.

Can. Opaque yellow with a fluffy white head that lasts pretty well. Aroma of pineapple, wintery orange, crackers, some menthol. Smooth. Somewhat vague and claggy palate 3- with tropical fruit, pulp and some slightly astringent grass. Good with familiar drawbacks.

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 8

Can. Clear gold with a good cm of white head. Aroma of grapefruit, some mango skin, pine, light bread. Barely medium bodied, plain but rich enough malt to support a broad skein of citrus flavours, supporting light tropical and pine notes. Fairly bitter finish. Very solid if not memorable.

Can. Almost clear amber with a cm of white head. 3+ Aroma of passionfruit, pine, mango skin, freshly clipped grass & herbs. Upon a taste it's that with fairly dull crusty bread sweetness before medium bitterness. Maybe about 10C was not q cool enough.
