Pint on tap at Club Rivers, Riverwood. Hazy amber beer with a foamy white head. Nose of grass, malt, fruit. Full-bodied, good lacing. Peppery hops lead to a herbal finish. Nice, with late touches of liquorice and band-aid. Complex but drinkable.

Schooner on tap at Club Rivers, Riverwood. Looks like a picture, dark beer with a creamy white head. Nose of cocoa and coffee. Nice lacing. Viscous and sweet. Hallelujah! A sweet stout that is actually sweet. Chocolate, milk and dark. A little dry coffee to balance. Great, love it.

(Can) Pours clear Amber with big white head. Nice pine aroma. Medium body with great carbonation. Taste is a very nice balance of caramel malt and hops. The malt is a solid backbone to the taste. The hops evolve through the palate from pleasant fresh flavours to some robust bitterness in the finish. Very drinkable.

Can. Pours golden. Troipical aromas. Fruity to taste. Not a big hop bomb, but a bit meatier than most on this space. Certainly quaffable.

On tap at Good Beer Week 2019 Launch Gala. Pours deep orange with thin head. Somewhat oaky nose. Thin mouthfeel. Intriguing flavours. Almost peaty. No idea what they've down here, but I like.

On tap at Good Beer Week 2019 Launch Gala. Black with creamy head. Chocolate nose. Sweet, milky, with very good balance. Classic choc milk stout. Had me shaking my hips and corrupting a generation of teenagers.

Sampled from the tap at the Royston Hotel. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has grass and light citrus with a touch of resin and sweet grain underlying. Flavor has light grass and citrus with a bit of citrus peel and grains supporting.

Can. Yellow/orange, and guess what? Hazy. Big citrus nose with passionfruit. Appropriate chewiness. Reasonably balanced with enough hoppiness to not be a complete juice boom. Hoped for something more standout however.

Canned 4 Feb - good logistics to travel ~1700km and spend a couple of days in my fridge. Hazy dull orange with a white head that fades but never disappears. Fruity aroma of pineapple, mango, orange, tinned passionfruit. Hints of pine stop it from smelling like tropical fruit cup. Has a soft juicy texture to it with modest carbonation. Pretty much all fruit really with a moderate to low bitterness and a little astringency that work well to close things off rather than feature as a finish. Good.
