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. Misted golden amber with a good inch of white head. Aroma is floral, spicy and bready with a touch of biscuit. Lively and bready with firm spicy bitterness. Good.

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.

Can. Golden amber with a dense cm+ of white head. Soft yet spicy aroma with hoppers and a little citrus. Pretty much how it tastes - would be great with Sri Lankan food. Snappy enough finish could have used just a little more bitterness but this is unusual, elegant and refreshing.

Can. Pale gold, just misted. White head. Yes, smells like dill pickles. Not sure that's good but there is clear notice. Dryish. Not really sour. Taste is fleshy pickle with a bit of dill and salt. Yeah, nah.

From a 440ml can on 31/12/2024. Pours a slightly opaque golden with a big head. Has a moderate aroma of apple and spices. The flavour follows suit - sweet apple and some cinnamon and nutmeg. Finishes with a light, tangy bitterness. Fullish body with moderate to average carbonation. An apple beer rather than an apple cider. Nicely put together and enjoyable.

From a 440ml can on 26/12/2024 (shared with Butz). Pours a clearish light golden with a big head. The nose is lightly spicy. Starts of fairly sweet with touches of carrot, cinnamon, clove and nutmeg, but nothing overwhelming. Finishes with a mild bitterness and quite a big sweet/spicy hit at the end. Medium bodied with moderate to average carbonation. Interesting and pretty decent.

Can. More amber than gold; clear with a frothy white head. Aroma has light citrus over crackers and the distinctive lightly earthy and nutty wattle seed. Fairly dry with obviously freshly toasted wattle seed - it gets quite spicy along with the hops towards the fairly bitter end. A bit more presence than I'd guessed.
