Tap to bottle from lowcostbeer.com. Mostly clear golden-amber with small white top. Citric aroma with orange zest and hop spice dominating. Taste of orange peel, grapefruit, light tropical, pine, hop spice, touch of biscuit. Medium bodied, semi-dry, fine carbonation. It lacks the greater dryness and mouthfeel to be a genuine Brut IPA so I'll mark a point off. Tasty IPA though so I'm more than happy.

Tap to bottle from lowcostbeer.com. Pours a dark brown with small beige top. Aroma of dark malts, nutmeg, some honey sweetness but not overwhelming. Taste of roasted dark malt, biscuit, spice and a modest honey. Not particularly picking up any chocolate or coffee notes. Medium bodied, nice slickness, fine carbonation. A nicely balanced tasty porter that highlights the flavourings which are not overdone or mundane. Basically very sessionable which I wasn't expecting.

Draft into a bottle from lowcostbeer. Moderate hazy orange-gold, small white head. Aroma of lemon, peach and mango, fairly fruity with an aromatic note. First thought once it passed my lips was this tastes like lemon drizzle cake. There is a sharp tangy citrus with some softer pithy fruitiness underneath, soft malts, light herbal bitter bite, slightly dry tangy aftertaste. Good.

From lowcostbeer. Clear dark gold with small white head. Aroma of grains, oat biscuits, pine. Taste is sweet biscuit malts and a floral and pine resin, tropical fruits, some caramel, modest bitterness. Medium bodied, smooth, tingly carbonation. Better than the aroma suggested, fairly simple but sessionable and tasty.

Draft in a bottle from lowcostbeer. Black with small beige head. Aroma of roast, wood, chocolate, stone fruits, herbs. Tangy with fruity and herbal hop notes but with plenty of roast, liquorice and chocolate maltiness. Good hoppy stout.

330ml draft in a bottle from lowcostbeer. Clear amber, small off-white head, good retention. Aroma of blood orange, malts, floral and grassy hops. Taste is tangy slightly sour orange, sweet malts, some pine and grassy hops. Moderate body but quite a slick and full mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Average IPA but a decent beer.

330ml can from Beers of Europe. Clear darkish gold, small white head, average retention. Aroma is tangy, citrus peel, biscuit. Ok if a bit dull. Taste is citrusy, sweet, a floral resinous element. Straightforward but quite tasty. Light to medium bodied, smooth with a fine carbonation. Average Session IPA but I enjoyed it.
