473ml can. Pours a cloudy magenta with a medium, creamy, long lasting, pink head that leaves soapy curtains of lace. Sweet fruity aroma of bready pale malt, blackberry, blueberry, raspberry, vanilla and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready pale malt, blueberry, blackberry, raspberry, lactose, grapefruit, vanilla and floral hops in a dry, slightly tart finish. Medium to full body with a thick, creamy, smooth texture and soft carbonation. Not the best beer ever brewed - EVER, but full of flavour and the ABV is well hidden.

Has very nice cloudy gold and good foam. Smells of an actually a well executed meld of refreshing guava with a trace of sweet coconut to round it out. Taste is coconut forward with tart sweet guava, ends with lingering coconut and also crisp. This is working extremely well, and I'm a guy who normally hates coconut.

Pours with very good foam on cloudy yellow, carbonation a little heavy. Smells of good fresh watermelon, bitter lager hops behind it and not totally cooperating. Taste is okay fruity hops, juicy, ends full and refreshing. It's working quite well for its intended purpose.

Good blackish brown body and okay foam. Nice sweet roasted coffee, baker's chocolate notes. Taste is more roasty coffee, soft sugariness and a dry finish. Nice enough, a little two dimensional.

Cloudy milky purple body and okay foam. Heavy chewy berry aroma, fresh and tart. Taste is fresh berry, tart but some lingering hop bitterness. Alcohol invisible, refreshing and enjoyable.

Can. Hazy, and the colour is a funny pale salmon thing. The aroma showcases the guava more than anything, I'd say, On the palate, light coconut, light tartness, and a bit of guava. Everything is fairly restrained, but not in a bad way (although I often like coconut to be unrestrained). I actually think this mellow bit of balance works. I don't think Ive had this flavour combination before, either, which I appreciate.

Vibrant amber, but there's slight haze. Thin head. Herbaceous hops, sweet and bright biscuity malts on the nose. Moderate bitterness, and lots of that biscuit sweetness, veering a bit towards caramel. Light fruitiness, a bit of a marmaladey note I associate with Fuller's yeast, although I think it's just the character of the hops. Dried apricots and those sorts of notes.

Can, from a random store in YLW. Dull yellow colour, with a frothy head. I like the nose on this quite a bit - a happy melange of pomelo, papaya and rambutan. Low bitterness, although it's enough for balance. The sweet malts come through quite clean, and then there's a touch of yeast in the finish but also a fair bit of orange. The balance is good, the muddy appearance not at all an indicator of the palate.

Modest muddy orange body and minimal foam, very faint caramel on the nose but seems clean. Flavour is more modest muddy malt, chewy hazelnut. Slightly cloying sweetness on the back end. Pretty mediocre.

Pours muddy brown, minimal head. Weak biscuit on the nose. Flavour is more weak biscuit, slight smokiness, chewy molasses. Modest carbonation. Pretty subdued, hardly memorable.
