473ml can. Named after the postal code of the brewery. Pours a slightly hazy gold with a large, foamy, long lasting, white head that leaves lots of chunky lace. Dank aroma of bready malt, pine resin, orange rind, grapefruit, wet stone, tropical fruit and floral hops. Sweet flavour of grainy caramel malt, orange peel, mango, peach, grapefruit, pine and floral hops in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Tasty, well crafted.

Semi-sweet aroma of grainy caramel malt, orange rind, yeast, nuts, earth and floral hops. Sweet flavour of bready caramel malt, orange peel, peach, nuts, earth and light pine with a dry, mild bitter, floral hop finish. Medium body with a creamy, smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Nice. Made me slightly more cheerful, so well named, I guess.

650ml bottle. Pours an unclear yellow-orange with a medium, foamy, short lived, off-white head that leaves spotty lacing. Aroma of grainy malt, Belgian yeast, floral, red apple and alcohol. Sweet flavour of bready malt, caramel, honey, Belgian yeast, red apple, cranberry, sugar and hibiscus with a dry, alcohol warming finish.

Pale yellow, hazy. Just the thinnest of heads. There's some earthy hops, a touch of pale malt, but a touch of phenolic stuff, too. Dry, hoppy, earthy. Nice clean pale malt. I like this - maybe the best Dandy beer I've had so far.

473mL can, pours a cloudy yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out citrus hops, piney notes, and biscuity malt. Flavour is very bright, with lots of earthy, piney hops upfront, balanced with dry biscuity malt. Bright, dry and well-balanced. Very good.

Can - Grassy notes and tropical notes. Clearish gold with a small white head. Tropical notes and light sour finish. Not overtly complex but pleasant.

Can - Lots of raw grains. Clear gold with a frothy white head. Lots of grains, touch of apple and a long grainy finish. Nice, but a touch of bitterness would have been great.
