Can. Clear gold, a good inch of white head. Aroma of lemon peel, crackers, some peach. Dry, gently fruity with crackers and a finish that's more briny than bitter. A decent dustcutter.

Can. Yellowish orange with a white head. Briny citrus aroma with light crackers. So it tastes; like a slightly funky re-hydration tablet. A modest sour twang. A bit of a Manzanilla feel - would be a good aperitif.

Can. Pale yellow gold with a good inch of white head that deflates. Smells like a fresh Helles with slightly doughy bread, citrus and spices. Quite fizzy. The illusion of richness with spices and mixed citrus - some grapefruit, lemon and lime - before pretty modest bitterness. A good quaffer with some unusual if subtle touches.
