Can from Against The Grain. Hazy dark brown body with a beige head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of charred pineapple, coffee beans and lime chutney. Flavour of pine, roasted malt and orange. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. A soft and approachable BIPA. It’s pretty good.

Clear gold with a chill haze, a small bubbly white head and sweet, light malt and a touch of fruit on the nose. Fresh and fizzy, soft satsuma bitterness, citrus bite, some grassy malt and a dry bitter finish.

Nose is bitter orange, grass, dank chimes, citric tinged straw.
Taste comprises bitter orange, caramel, pine needle, grass, ripe melon.

Tidy enough DIPA but was expectant of something nearer to an 8 score.

440ml can, 2025 edition at 5.4%. Unusual to see a rise in ABV these days.
Pours almost black with a good sized tan head. Aroma of coffee, cinnamon, clove. Taste is dominated by the coffee and spices, cinnamon and clove are obvious but I don't really get the ginger or nutmeg, debatable whether the actual pumpkin can be tasted as well, chocolate and roast malt, bitter finish. Medium bodied. Solid seasonal porter to be fair. Enjoyed it for what it is.

Fra fat på The Craft Beer Company Covent Garden: klar gylden med fint skum som varer lenge. Barskog og citrus i fint samspill. God maltsmak og ganske mild bitterhet med halvtørr avslutning og mersmak.
