Can, thick big brown head, very deep and opaque brown colour, chocolate, vanila, brown sugar, cola, raisins, a bit of burned sugar, quite sweet but not too heavy and with a light noticable sourness, medium bodied. Nice and highly enjoyable.

440ml can. Hazy, yellow-ish, golden colour with average to huge, slowly osteoporosing, minimally lacing, white head. Citrusy fruity and slightly tropical fruity, hoppy aroma, hints of lemon, orange, old lemon, lemon peel, some mango, minimally dusty, yeasty overtones, rather neutral, pale malty background. Taste is zesty bitter, citrusy fruity and tropical fruity hoppy, notes of lemon, orange, lemon peel, minimally diluted hints of mango, passion fruit, pale malty basis with low residual sweetness; minimally chalky finish.
Watery texture, slightly dry palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation.
Quite hoppy, a tad too light and watery to embed all the hop flavours adequately - OK.

No end of year snow for me yet. This one does have plenty of pine though, albeit with quite a dirty aftertaste attached.

Frances Hodgson Burnett wrote The Secret Garden book. This liquid version is hazy golden light tasting sourness ale, partly as when its rhubarb does rear its head it's quite sweet. Pastry sour style.

Yellow with a frothy to creamy white head. Aroma of oranges and pineapple. Taste is bitter and citric with a mild, doughy sweetness underneath. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, dry. The alcohol stays well hidden. Not bad.
