From a 440ml can on 22/8/2020 (shared with Butz). Pours a clear medium amber with a medium head. Has a modest malty aroma but certainly subdued for the size. The taste is quite sweet - caramel, toffee and butterscotch, with a moderate spicy bitterness. The mouthfeel is slick the carbonation moderate to average. Doesn't drink like 9.5%. Pleasant enough but wouldn't seek out again given the price point.

Pours a hazy light to medium golden with a big fluffy head. Has a tropical nose which also features a bit of zesty citrus peel. Tastes quite sweet with lots of pineapple and passion fruit, which is met by a zesty, spicy, slightly boozy bitterness, with just a touch of hop burn at the back. The mouthfeel is syrupy, the carbonation moderate to average. Decent but a little bit messy, and a long way from Deeds best.

From a 440ml can on 1/8/2020. Pours a slightly hazy ready purple with a small head. Has a very slight berry aroma. Has a modest berry taste, a touch sweet and light tart finish. Not very milkshake like tbh. There's a hint of creaminess in the palate and the carbonation is average. Really underwhelming and disappointing for a beer that sets you back close to $15.

From a 440ml can on 19/7/2020. Pours a hazy lightish golden with a medium foamy head. The nose is pleasant and lightly fruity, though not particularly intense. Tastes of lots of sweet tropical and stone fruit (pineapple, mango, peach) and a big dollop of vanilla with a reasonably spicy hop finish to balance the sweetness out. There's just a hint of hop burn, but not enough to detract from the experience. The mouthfeel is lovely - slick, thick and super creamy, with the lactose and oats prominent, with the carbonation moderate. A truly excellent creamy big hazy.

From a 440ml on 6/7/2020. Pours a light golden with just the barest hint of haze. Has a light slightly tart fruity nose. It tastes rather sweet with lots of citrus and tropical notes with a light tart bitterness at the back. Medium bodied with spritzy carbonation. This is an unusual brew - not very NEIPA like to be honest, really hides the alcohol well, and is just a touch sour, but it comes together quite nicely. Definitely worth a crack if you're looking for something a bit different.

From a 440ml can on 4/7/2020. Pours a hazy light golden with a big foamy head. The nose is tropical and quite dank. Tastes quite sweet with a lots of peach and melon with a moderate hop finish. The palate is slick and the carbonation moderate. Pleasant enough without really standing out. I've certainly had better Deeds than this. Wouldn't complain if someone offered me one, but wouldn't shell out the big bucks required for another.

From a 440ml can on 14/6/2020. Pours like guava juice with a small head. Has a pleasant light but distinct slightly tart strawberry aroma. The flavour is sweet, dessertish, creamy with strawberry very much at the fore. It's very sweet but has enough sour to balance it out. The mouthfeel is creamy, the carbonation softish. I quite liked the blueberry version of this, but this is even better. Really nice stuff.

From a 440ml can on 10/6/2020. Pours a slightly hazy light golden with a medium head. Features a modest tropical fruit nose (mainly melon) with a touch of dankness. The flavour features mango, melon and apricot finishing with a gentle bitterness which suits the experience. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Pretty easy drinking and rather enjoyable, if not necessarily noteworthy.

Can. Very dark brown. Dark choc aroma with almost golden syrup. Sweet, but with coffee and dry choc tempering it. The smokiness could have been quintupled. I wanted more of that.

From a 440ml can on 6/6/2020. Pours a deep brown with a medium head which disappears quite quickly. The nose features quite a bit of chocolate and caramel. The taste is very dessertish - more chocolate and caramel, some vanilla, with a touch of coffee, finished by a relatively mild roasty bitterness which just a hint of smoke at the back. The mouthfeel is slightly creamy, the carbonation softish. Not as smokey as I was expecting but a very pleasant big, sweet porter none the less.
