(Can 4.3% ABV) Pours cloudy and lumpy golden yellow with large, loose, transient white head. Nice aroma of passionfruit with barnyard notes. Light body with bright and plentiful carbonation. Good acidity but not over the top. Dominated, in a good way, by passionfruit. Lemon sherbet hints. Very nice, very refreshing.

(Can) Pours black with short lived, big, rather loose, mid brown head. Nice aroma of chocolate, dark roast grain with hints of cherry. Great mouthfeel - medium body, smooth, slightly creamy with nice bright carbonation. Great taste too. There’s a lovely tangy cherry taste throughout the palate. It’s joined first by some pleasant, somewhat restrained chocolate, and then by notes of coconut, and finally a hint of burnt sugar bitterness at the end. Very nice - hard to put down.

From a 440ml can on 31/5/2021. Pours a hazy medium golden with a medium head. Has quite a strong orange and vanilla nose. Has a really strong sweet orange and vanilla taste up front, with a really pronounced, sharp citric bitterness (orange rind, lemon and grapefruit) at the back. The palate is creamy the carbonation moderate. Not quite a home run, but there's a lot going on and ticks most of the boxes.

From a 440ml can on 27/5/2021. Pours a super dark amber/brown with a small to medium head. Has a nice strong chocolate nose. Tastes of dark and milk chocolate and cocoa, with a bit of hazlenut, but less than I was expecting. Has a nice dark choc bitterness at the back. The mouthfeel is a touch syrupy, the carbonation moderate. Very tasty and really well done.

A nice aroma of toast, biscuit and some pine. The toastiness is really nice in the mouth, but I think it's a little overpowered by the sharp hop flavour, and it's also a little watery.

355ml can into schooner glass. From Welder's Dog, Tamworth. Pours a pink/brown with a thin bubbly head that dissipates. Sweet berry nose, slight sourness. Light body, tangy but creamy. Like a lemonade yogurt with a tangy berry finish. Easy to drink, very refreshing, bit ephemeral.

(Can) Pours slightly hazy amber with small dense white head. Nice aroma - pine with stone fruit hints. Medium body, fine bright carbonation. Good tasting beer. Hops drive the flavour from start to bitter finish. There’s a nice caramel malt for balance. There’s some fruity hints at the start. Good and hoppy.

(Can) Pours cloudy and lumpy golden amber with small white head. Nice fruity aroma with plenty of guava and notes of orange and passionfruit. Medium bodied with plenty of soft mouth filling carbonation. The taste is really quite tart, initially rather overpowering the other flavours. I found that my palate accommodated to it though as I carried on drinking. There’s some nice fruit notes, with orange more to the fore with notes of passion fruit. There’s some funky and yoghurt hints and notes of dough in the finish. Refreshing, interesting but for me a bit too tart to begin with.

(Can) Pours hazy red pink with good light pink head. Interesting aroma is raspberries, yoghurt with candy and funky hints. Medium bodied, quite smooth with fine carbonation. Taste is sour, but not too sour. There’s citrus and raspberries, some creamy candy notes. Refreshing, unusual, but a little odd.
