(Can) Pours hazy amber with small white head. Nice fairly mutes aroma of pine, caramel and hint of fruit. Great mouthfeel. Medium bodied, smooth with plenty of soft carbonation. Great taste too, as long as you like hops. The start and mid palate have a nice balance between gentle caramel sweetness and piney peppery hops. In the finish the hoppy bitterness grows significantly dominating everything else, in a rather pleasant and impressive way. Very hoppy, very nice.

440ml can into glass. From 1st Choice, Springfield. Smell of sweet peanut butter. Dark brown/red beer with thin white head. Viscous and smooth. Finish has touches of cocoa. A bit dry but really this is all about peanut butter. Not for everyone but I love it.

(Can) Pours opaque golden yellow, almost as dense as fruit juice, with a small white head. Lovely aroma of peaches. Medium body with fine carbonation. Nicely tart, peaches and lemon, hints of earthiness, maybe funkiness. Very nice.

From a 355ml can on 1/11/2021. Pours an opaque deep golden with barely any head. Has a modest sweet nose with a bit of fruit and bubblegum. Tastes quite sweet with lots of orange with a fairly firm tang leading into a modest bitterness. Has a slightly creamy mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. Comes together really nicely.

From a 440ml can on 27/10/2021. Pours a slightly hazy medium golden with a small head. Has a light tropical and stone fruit nose. The flavour features mainly apricot with some orange in the mix. Finishes with a mild bitterness. Has a slightly silky mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. Not a stand out, but pleasant and quite well put together.

From a 355ml can on 11/10/2021. Pours an opaque deep golden with barely any head. Has a slightly tangy fruit nose. Tastes of orange, mango and strawberry, with a distinct tang at the back, along with just a touch of warmth.. The mouthfeel is creamy, the carbonation average. Sweet but not overly so, and there's a fair bit going on. I really enjoyed this - very flavoursome and exhibits really nice balance.

Pours hazy orange with a large sudsy head.Nose shwos dank hops, mango, pineapple, lychee and passionfruit, along with soft red berry notes.Flavours include more berry notes, citrus, peach, and strong herbal hops that are not exactly complimentary to the fruity hop notes. A fair whack of sweetness in there too, that again, doesn't quite meld.

(Can) Pours black with small short lived tan head. Nice aroma of caramel with notes of cookie dough, nuts and dark roast malt. Great mouthfeel- medium bodied, smooth with plenty of bright carbonation. Great taste too. Caramel and cookie dough are prominent with associated sweetness. Behind this is some balancing dark roast malt bitterness and some sour hints, which carry through to the finish. Very enjoyable.

(Can) Pours opaque amber dun with with a small loose off white head. Lovely aroma, mainly orange citrus with hints of cream or vanilla. Full bodied, smooth, velvety with some bright carbonation. Great mouthfeel. Lots going on taste wise. There’s plenty of hops giving a citrus start that develops quickly into plenty of bitterness. Orange and a notes of creamy sweetness are present throughout. Very unusual and enjoyable.
