(Can - labelled Alpine Lager but the description is Alpine Extra Pale Lager, and from the aroma I am pretty sure this is the XPL) Pours clear gold with decent white head. Lovely aroma of of orange with stone fruit hints. Medium body with fine carbonation. The fruity orange notes are present in the start and mid palate. From then bread notes follow and then peppery spices. Subtle biscuit malt. Modest bitterness. Very drinkable.

(Can) Pours very dark brown with short-lived tan head. Aroma has plenty of coconut and notes of vanilla. Medium body with good bright carbonation. There’s a pleasant stout background to the flavour. There’s plenty of coconut and vanilla throughout the palate with a nice chilli bite growing in the finish. There’s also some pleasant chocolate notes. The flavours work well together. Pleasant and very drinkable.

Can. More cloudy than hazy pale amber with a good cm of white head. Aroma of barely ripe oranges, citrus leaves, tinned tropical fruit, light bread. Much sharper citrus with some peppery notes upon a sip - maybe a little more than the light body of the beer can take - with a punchy spicy bitter finish. Interesting.
gave a cheers!

Always a bit of a worry when the label says "hoppy pils". I mean, yes? Can. Gold. An inch of white head. Floral and herbal with some berries & tropical notes, light bread. Fairly sweet and nearly too fruity, but a herbal & floral punch towards the fairly bitter end keep things sufficiently pils-like.

Can. Very dark brown with a fat coat of tan head. Sweet coffee, caramel and roast aroma. Less sweet than expected with firm coffee and roast. Smooth but the lactose is not obvious. The maple adds some character and does that thing where its woodiness helps dry out the end a bit. Good. A combination of Maple Heist and normal Affogato Stout that's better than either.

A near perfect WCIPA. Aromas of pine, grapefruit and bread. A soft mouthfeel hides the 9% alcohol and highlights the pine and citrus notes, plus a tiny bit of white pepper. Just can't get enough of it.

(Can) Pours hazy amber with good white head. Orange and tropical fruit aroma. Medium body with plenty of bright carbonation. Good taste. Plenty of tangy fruit up front - orange and tropical. Herbal and peppery flavours develop through the palate. Some moderate bitterness in the finish. Some caramel malt in the background. Very enjoyable.

Can. Very dark brown, a wisp of tan head dissipates immediately. Mocha and stewed plum aroma with vanilla and old fortified wine notes. Just short of syrupy, low carbonation. Sweet but bitterness and oak counter, making the roast more prominent than the mocha and plums at first. The fortified notes are fruity but also a little papery.

Can. Cloudy orange amber with a torrent of carbonation and a large, spider-like white head. Aroma of citrus, twiggy herbs, bread, some tropical fruit. Kveik seems involved. Dryish with some tropical fruit but more orange and twiggy herbal notes. Moderately bitter.

Aromas of lime, orange peel, pine needles and pineapple set it up nicely, but the taste lacks a little guts.
