Can. Gold, white head. Aroma of light bread, some orchard fruit and spices. So it tastes - rounder and less focused malt than a proper pils, but sill clean enough. Moderate bitterness is on the low side of where I'd like but again, enough.

Can. Very hazy orange with an inch of white head. Gentle orange, grass clipping, mango pulp and cracker aroma. 7- Light bodied, no chalkiness. Fruity but drier than expected with some tropical bubblegum with oranges and a light herbal astringency before modest bitterness. Refreshing.

Can, bb 8/25. Almost clear golden amber with a cm of white head. Aroma of lemon, grapefruit, some mandarin, light tropical fruit, herbs, crackers. The usual broad spectrum Citra citrus, just a little caramel edge to the crackers, light herbal notes. Dry enough at the end so the medium bitterness pops. Up my street.

Can. Hazy yellowish orange with a ~2cm white head that lasts OK. 3+ Wintery orange aroma with some passionfruit, pineapple and peach bubblegum. Fizzy. Light crackery malt in a cleaner body than expected. Mainly citrusy hops, some tropical notes. Lowish bitterness. Nice, if a bit insubstantial.

Can. A lovely clear pale reddish brown with a cream head that lasts well for the style. Aroma is obviously sour with red berries, oak and basement funk. Less sour than expected with more tired malt than vinegar but nice fruit, twigs and wood at the end. Mellow.

Can. Almost clear amber with an inch of near white head. 3+ Aroma of citrus and bread. But lime is clearer upon a taste. It's dryish and quite vibrant with some tropical notes, resin and medium high bitterness. Gathers intensity as it goes. Good.

Pint on tap at Beer Deluxe, Melbourne. Pale amber beer with a thin white head. Light carbonation. Nice lacing, grainy nose. Tastes mild and fruity, finish is dry and grainy. Spot-on Pils, maybe a little understated.

Can. Somewhat cloudy pale orange with an inch of white head. Erm, not that vibrant aroma but there's passionfruit, peach and pepper as well as some crackers. More going on upon a swig - light bodied but quite sweet with peach, passionfruit and some spiced orange towards the moderately bitter end. Not quite up with the best of the series.

From a 440m l can on 10/5/2024. Pours an opaque deep golden with a foamy medium head. Has a muted indistinct fruity nose. The taste features some passionfruit and a slightly sour white grape. Finishes moderately bitter. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Drinkable but dull and uninspiring.

A good enough looking can they probably should have mentioned the artist. Misted gold with dense inch of white head. Aroma of red berries, grapefruit, grapes, bread. Sweet and perhaps more tropical in taste than suggested by the aroma. Bitterness is medium - could have been a little higher or drier.
