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.

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.

Can. Dark brown, light tan head. Roasty aroma with some caramel, hints of of minerals. Fizzy but creamy. Dryish and quite roasty with a briny finish that aside from some body is really the only sign of the oysters.

Can. Almost clear amber with a cm of near white head. Aroma of citrus and pine on breadcrust, perhaps some mango skin. Medium bodied. Moderately sweet with a bit of caramel and little else from the malt side of things. Pine and some tropical and stone fruit before the modern WCIPA modest bitterness. Pleasant if a bit staid.

(Can) Pours black with short-lived, big, loose mid-brown head. Subtle aroma of roasted grain and chocolate. Full bodied, smooth, creamy, even a little oily, with modest fine bright carbonation. Great taste with good balance. There’s a nice toffee sweetness, creaminess, balanced with dark roast grains and chocolate. There’s some dried fruit notes and in the finish some gentle bitterness. Very enjoyable.

Can. Clear amber with an initial cm of white head. Aroma is piney with breadcrust, mango skin & kumquat. So it tastes. Lacks a bit of grunt in the middle but there's sticky resinous flavours that lead to firm bitterness. OK but not very engaging.
