Collingwood is surely more seitan than Satan these days. Can. Very dark red with a pale beige head. Caramel and some stewed fruit beneath floaty grapefruit. True for the taste too - doesn’t seem overly rich due to the grapefruity hops and a finish that’s more dry than bitter. After a while the alcohol was a bit obvious. Not totally my thing but fun stuff albeit a bit on the strong side for what it offers.

A full bodied, challenging WC IPA. Loads of pine and grapefruit coat the tongue, with a little honey and stone fruit poking out. Delicious.

500ml can from brewery. Hazy gold. Pineapple nose. Slight chewy. Wonderful full fruit flavours with just a touch of resin (no burn).

Can, packed 7 September. Moderately hazy yellow with a white head. Rather wit-like. Aroma of pineapple, mango, gooseberries, crackers, lime leaf. Light bodied. Fruity and dryish with an odd soda water touch and a very brief moderately bitter dryish finish. The aroma seems slightly shy at first but builds somehow - it's lovely. But it's far too profligate with the alcohol.

Can from brewery. Deep, deep red. Surprisingly subdued nose. Just a sniff of pine needles. Pretty standard red IPA. Caramel, some resin. I expected bigger.

Can from brewery. Hazy golden. Some orange and apricot on nose. Certainly fruity, with a little bit of pine in the back end. Nowhere near as 'big' as I expected. Balanced.

Can from brewery. Deep gold. Little bit of pine on nose. Resinous and, again, old school IPAness. Very reliable brewers.
