Can, thank you Fin! Pors dark red to purple, low head. Light coppery berry skin aroma mixed with mango/durian. Medium body, dry clay, chalk mouthfeel. Fruits soften the minerals up a bit, strawberry and tropical creme, restrained tartness. Fine hop bitterness in the finish, elderflower and strawberry retronasal. Unusual flavor combination - which almost works.

Can, thanks Fin! Purple, low head. Leafy, perfumed, spicy wood aroma. Medium full sparkling body, some chewiness. Lightly tart cherry base, wood, warm spices, light citrus leaves. Fun on the palate, not sure the aromatics work.

Hapu, viinamarjane, tsitrus, alks. Ok.

Can courtesy of Kostas Kykao who sent this in a box of beers recently. Consumed at home Saturday 13th September 2025 listening to Sisters of Mercy - Floodland, after a fantastic Minced Beef and Cheese Pie with Curly Kale. Pours dark brown with ruby glints, the head which was possibly brown'ish' lasted only briefly. Thick in the mouth, sweetness is evident from the off, however what is not obvious is that this is 14%, I knew it was strong but not that strong 😳. There are nutty notes, it's intense, warming and yet despite the sweetness there is a bitterness below the surface. This is a grower, like one of those albums you shrug your shoulders at on first listen but then you think, fuck yeah this is a beast of an album, that's this beer. Lovely stuff.

Can courtesy of Kostas Kykao brewery and consumed sat outside Frank at Auto Camp Sani , Brodarica, Croatia, Tuesday 9th September 2025 after a long walk around the maze of alleyways and streets of Šibenika earlier and a lovely seafood lunch at Bistro Luce & Brigita. Pours black with a beige coloured head, thick mouthfeel, roasty with coffee and a little nutty edge. This is a big, big beer, a little bit sticky, some dark treacle touches but all told surprisingly drinkable despite it being practically Imperial Stout territory. However despite being a good beer a 450ml can is hard to drink alone 🤣.

Fig, coconut notes from Sabro, a little boozy, quite a nice mix! Enjoy fresh!

Citrus, fruity, tropical, quaffable. Very nice place with a wide range of local beers, unfortunately the kid behind us started farting (a lot), which made us leave 😂

Can courtesy of Kostas, Kykao brewery which arrived about 15mins before we left home on Thursday. Drinking this sat outside Frank at Camping Leutasch Austria, Saturday 16th August 2025. Pours looking every bit like a glass of orange juice, slim white ahead atop. Tart and zappy, a little overipe cape gooseberry, also passion fruit. Not as dry as description hints at but it is a little. This is not totally my cup of tea but I can see the appeal.
