Look: Semi-hazy golden colour with reasonable white head. Nose: orange, grapefruit, light peach, herbs, light grassy-earthiness; quite inviting. Taste: This is one of those beers where the flavours seem subtle at first but slowly build up to a nice finish. Orange and strawberry, melon, hop spice, herbs, grassy finish. Palate: slightly resinous without much pine which helps the flavours build well. Fine carbonation.

Can from LCB. Cloudy red-brown colour with nice foamy off-white top. Aroma of cinnamon, honey, malt, hay, cookie dough - interesting. Taste of cinnamon, honey, malts, berries, a light ginger undercurrent. Medium bodied, a bit sticky on the palate but with the spices that works ok. Good beer.

Can from HOTM. Pours a near black with thin tanned head. Aroma of a bounty chocolate bar, lovely creamy coconut coming through. Taste is the same with a roasted malt notable in the background. I'm a big fan of coconut so this is adjunct heaven. Body a little light on the mouthfeel though.

Can from Beer52. Hazy bright nuclear green with small white head. Aroma of refreshing watermelon, sweet candy. Taste of watermelon, grapefruit, grains, dry moderate bitter finish. Refreshing and fruity, gimmicky but not unpleasant.

Can from Beer52. Pours reddish brown with a massive off-white to beige head which took ages to settle. Aroma - sweet berries, bread, caramel, nuts. Taste - disappointingly tinny in flavour at first. Malty and bitter with some light fruitiness. It does improve over time and I picked up roast and spice notes. Near medium bodied, soft mouthfeel.

330ml can from Beer52. Orange-gold, hazy, moderate sized frothy head, good retention. Lovely citrus aroma, very juicy. Taste is juicy citrus, grapefruit, grass. Good body and carbonation zing for a 4% beer. One of the better session strength IPAs I've had.

440ml can from Honest Brew. Clear mahogany with off-white to tanned small creamy head looking head which dissipates quickly. Aroma of caramel, raisins, sweet malts, floral and grassy hops. Taste is sweet, malty, caramel, earthy, but there is a rather funky to metallic off-note in the finish which I found unpleasant. Medium body, soft to zingy carbonation. Apart from the finish I liked the beer so is a shame.
