Aromas of orange peel, lime, bread, and caramel. On the palate, the flavours just rip down the centre of the tongue, highlighting the imbalance between the hops and the malt. Maybe not a total winner, but the flavours are lively and is exactly what I want from an experimental beer.

Couldnt get a head on this no matter how hard i tried. Aroma of rock melon that's really strong on tasting. Has some light citrus, plus honey. Not my bag.

(Can) Pours clear amber with small white head. Good aroma with notes of caramel, herbal hops and fruit. Medium body with bright carbonation. Good taste. Plenty of hops on a light caramel / biscuit malt base. The hops deliver some decent bitterness that steadily grows through the palate. Good IPA.

Can. Golden amber with a 2cm white head. Aroma of grapefruit, breadcrust, some floral notes, hints of pine. Bittersweet with breadcrust, citrus and pine before a clean and fairly bitter end. A bit anonymous but fine.

(Can) Pours black with small tan head. Lovely aroma with toffee and chocolate and hints of alcohol. Excellent mouthfeel. Full bodied with good very fine carbonation giving a soft creamy texture with some stickiness. Great taste - rich and well balanced. There’s a dark toffee sweetness throughout. Chocolate is layered on this throughout most of the palate. Towards the end there is a rising bitterness and a bit of alcohol burn that provides a great balance. The bitterness has has burnt sugar character with hints of soy. Very enjoyable.

(Can) Pours clear golden amber with good white head. Pleasant aroma with a complex hoppy aroma with a mix of fruit and herbal notes. Medium body with plenty of fine bright carbonation. Good taste too, with plenty of hops. There’s some stone fruit at the start, but after that the happiness is pleasantly but assertively bitter with a long finish. Biscuit malt lurking in the background. Very enjoyable.

(Can) Pours slightly hazy amber with good white head. Rather indistinct aroma with fruit notes and biscuit hints. Medium body with plenty of bright carbonation giving good mouthfeel. Plenty of hops in the flavour with a herbal and spicey character giving a nice bitter finish. There’s some light caramel malt apparent earlier in the palate. Very drinkable. To me it doesn’t match its description - much more hoppy bitter than fresh and fruity.
