Clear yellow with a white head. Light pine, toasty pale malt, light citrus. Medium to light body. Solid but nothing spectacular.

Clear gold with a creamy, white head. Lemon juice aroma with a touch of grain, all quite subdued. Taste is mildly bitter with a faint citric tinge. Light bodied, watery texture, refreshing in a watery sort of way. Naja. Ok for a hoppy lager, but there are a lot better beers at this ABV.

Malziger Beginn, verhalten nach Kakao. Das Kakaoaroma steigt schnell an, ab dem späten Mittelteil verhalten nach Pfefferminz. Glücklicherweise wurde vorsichtig mit der Pfefferminze umgegangen, so dass sie sich nicht in den Vordergrund drängt aber dennoch gut erkennbar ist. Überraschenderweise ist der Alkoholgehalt nicht erkennbar, die Süße ist zurückhaltend, weich. Langer Nachgeschmack. 11/11/12/11/12/12

440ml can from a Vocation 'Naughty & Nice selection pack for my Birthday, cheers Ben and Steph. Poured into the glass from the pack at home on 10th January 2026. Smooth black body, tanned roof. Chocolate from start to finish, toffee/caramel undertones, didn't really get the biscuit/cookie bit, nice & naughty though!

Copper with a firm head. Nutty, baking spice, toasted malts, toffee, vanilla, caramel. Medium bodied. A brief snap of bitterness in the finish. Came in expecting a mess but this somehow works. It may be a bit all over the map but it comes together well.

Nafta, białe winogrona, cytrusy, tropiki. Barwa jasnozłota, przejrzyste, trwała piana, ładny lacing. Goryczka zaznaczona, cytrusowa. Wytrawne, wszystko ładnie zbalansowane, cytrusy wychodzą trochę bardziej na pierwszy plan, soczyste, owocowe. Bardzo dobrze się pije.

Golden, turning into orange, cloudy, with yellowish foam. A slightly malty aroma, with hints of citrus and exotic fruit. Full body, creamy with a noticeable wheat graininess, delicate saturation. Quite juicy, citrus and tropical fruits blend. The alcohol is well-hidden, but you can tell you're drinking a strong beer. The bitterness is subtle, with a hint of resin.

440ml can. Poured a slightly hazy medium amber colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is cranberry, fake sugar. The flavour is over moderate sour, with a crisp, super tart cranberry, herbal, light cardamom palate. Medium to light bodied with lively carbonation. Way to sour to drink in any kind of volume.
