Can for Canvent 2020. Somewhat cloudy light amber. So, sort of hazy. Not juicy in any way. Some tropical fruit. None of the spice aromas promised, but more malt than expected. All pretty dull and not well-balanced.

Can. Amber. Lots of pine on nose with some fruit pushing through. The tropical fruit is much more to the fore in glass. The pine resin doesn't play that well, making for a lack of balance, and curiously a less punchy beer than I expected.

Can. Pours darkish amber (I was expecting something darker). Mostly caramel on the nose, but with some citrus. More malty in mouth with a touch of resin. Bit thin. Feels pretty retro in that I'm sure I drank something from Mountain Goat like this about a decade ago... That's not a bad thing either.

Can. Hoppy dark ale, huh. Darkish amber with a pale grey (!?) head. Aroma of kumquats, biscuit. Sweet with some chocolate as well as biscuit, oranges and a little pine. Moderate bitterness with a fair bit of sweetness at the end. As usual from Philter, it's highly quaffable.

Aromas of passionfruit, grapefruit, pine and mint give way to a flavour that's a little too dominated by the pine, making it more one dimensional than I'd like.

Can. Just hazy gold with a lasting fluffy white head. Peachy aroma with citrus, some passionfruit, crackers. Light bodied, bittersweet, quite spritzy. Plainish crackery malt with lots of peach before citrus and bitterness take over. Solid refreshment. Surely this will be a summer regular.

From a 375ml can on 28/11/2019. Pours a hazy medium golden with a small head. The nose features zesty citrus and tropical fruit. The flavour features quite a bit mandarin tang with sweet tropical (mango) and stone (apricot) fruit lingering in the background. Finishes with a light spicy bitterness. Medium bodied with average carbonation. A very solid hazy.
