From a 440ml can on 19/4/2020 (shared with Butz). Pours a hazy apple juice colour with the barest of heads. The nose features a fair bit of coconut with a fair bit of tropical and stone fruit. Taste wise, there's lots of sweetness up front with peach, apricot and mango, which is met by some firmish hops, with a restrained spicy bitterness. The mouthfeel is slightly creamy and the carbonation. This is really lovely stuff - certainly amongst the best Deeds brews I've had to date.

From a 440ml can on 17/4/2020 (described as a DDH hazy pale ale, so doesn't neatly fit into current categories). Pours a hazy light golden with a small head. The nose is sharp and citrussy, with some rind. The flavour is citrus dominated - orange and particularly lemon, with a slightly spicy, lemony finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Quite bold and not overly sweet. Well made and pretty decent.

From a 440ml can on 1/4/2020. Pours a a slightly hazy straw colour with a smallish bright white head. Nose is light and bright, with citrus and tropical notes. Tastes of pineapple, passionfruit, melon, guava and coconut, with a subtle bitterness at the back. Has a silky mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. A quite different and delicious hazy.

440ml can from Wine Republic. Pours orange juicey. Mango and pineapple smells all over. That plus bitterness makes for a joyful juicefest with afterburner. Back on track Deedsters.

Aromas of passionfruit, pineapple, pine needles, mango and honey. The pineapple, pine needles, honey and a little salt are prominent on tasting, with a pleasant mango flavour as it spreads over the middle of the tongue. A ripper.

Can. Red, no head. Not much nose. Cloyingly sweet. Like undiluted blackberry cordial. Insufficiently sour.

From a 440ml can on 15/3/2020. Pours a cloudy medium golden with a medium head which disappears quickly. The nose is dank with lots of tropical fruit. As promised by the label, this is a heavy hitter, with lots of pineapple and mango, and a heap of spicy bitterness with shade of hop burn. The mouthfeel is slick and the carbonation moderate. I'm a bit torn with this one. It's interesting and intense, but perhaps a little too intense, making it suffer a touch balance wise. Certainly worth a try, if not Deeds' best.

From a 440ml can on 5/3/2020.Pours an opaque reddy pink with a small head which disappears quickly. Has a tart, fruity nose with a good dash of berry and cherry. Tastes very sweet, with lots of ripe berries and vanilla, with a light tart sour finish. The mouthfeel is creamy and the carbonation moderate. A quite interesting, rich dessert beer with a light puckering finish.

Can. Gold with an inch or so of white head that doesn't last that well. Earthy aroma with bread, grass and spices. Has that light body but rich - and slightly buttery - malt of many a decent lager. Finish is (too) modestly bitter but nicely peppery. Close.
