(Can, 0.44l, thanks Arde, at VastActiv, 20230518) The beer poured golden and hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had herbalness, grapefruit and tart fruits. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grapefruit, fruitiness, herbalness, spiciness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was fruity and bitter. Tasty.

Can. Clear golden amber with a good cm of white head that fades. Aroma of grapefruit, some mandarin, pine, orange blossom, mango skin, light bread. Light bodied with little malt character. More tropical fruit (and dope) than citrus in the taste with firm pine-tinged bitterness at the dry end. Good, if not very welcoming.

(Can) Pours slightly hazy golden amber with nice white head. Lovely aroma with tangerine, pine, and bread. Great mouthfeel with lots of soft carbonation and medium body. Good taste too. Good fruity start with fragrant citrus and then plenty of hoppy bitterness. Enjoyable hoppy beer.

Can. Misted golden amber with a 1/2 inch head. 3+ Aroma of grapefruit pith, light bread, some softer citrus, sherbet, peach. Not quite as vibrant a taste but fruity with some light pine needles and spices towards the dryish and moderately bitter end.

Can. Close to clear pale gold with a large white head. Surprisingly diffident aroma is grassy with some light grape notes, honey and crackers. But rather more vibrant hop notes in the taste - citrus, under-ripe tropical fruit, grapes. The finish is firmly bitter. Pretty good.

(Can) Pours opaque amber with good white head. Lovely aroma of citrus, tropical fruit and pine. Full bodied with plenty of soft bright carbonation. Great taste. Plenty of hops but with a nice amount of bitterness in the long finish. Fruity and refreshing through the start and middle. There’s some subtle biscuit malt too. Very nice.
