From a 375ml can on 21/4/2020. Pours a clearish medium golden with little in the way of head. Has a strong and punchy grapefruit nose. The taste of all grapefruit - medium sour, zesty and reasonably tart, but not over the top. Medium bodied with spritzy carbonation. Sours have never really been my thing, but this is well made and enjoyable.

Can. Dullish amber with a large white head that fades to an inch. Aroma of peach, mandarin, biscuit, pine. 7- Sweet at first and not entirely clean before sharpish bitterness. A bit disjointed but OK.

On tap at Boilermaker House. Hazy golden/yellow with a white head. Aroma of mango, some passionfruit and hops. The same in the rather juicy taste. The bitterness was on the light side.

You can't miss the pineapple, but there are also aromas of lemon and vanilla. A pretty tart finish is and hides the alcohol well. I would have pegged this at about 4.5%.

From a 375ml can on 12/12/2019. Pours a a slightly hazy medium golden with a medium head. The aroma is all tropical fruit - pineapple, passion fruit and melon. The flavour is a rinse and repeat of the nose, with a mild bitterness which meshes in well. Has a slightly creamy mouthfeel with moderate to average carbonation. Super juicy and well balanced. Really good.

From a 375ml can on 7/12/2019 (shared with Butz). Pours a clear medium golden with a small head. Has a big punchy citrus nose with some spiciness. The flavour is pretty full on. Some biscuit malt to begin, then big dollops of sweet and sour citrus, finished off by a quite assertive pine and resin bitterness, with a slightly sour finish. The mouthfeel is a touch slick, the carbonation moderate. For the most part this is decent enough but the finish is pretty rough, really spoiling proceedings.

Can. Cloudy yellow. Huge mango nose. Doubles down flavourwise with passionfruit singing harmonies. The saltiness plays nicely with the sourness for a crackingly refreshing drop.

Lots of passionfruit and peach dominate the aroma, with some salt, grapefruit and (yes) banana. It's the citrus, passionfruit and that hint of banana that I get in the mouth. Hides its alcohol very well.

(Can) Pours slightly hazy amber brown with small short-lived off-white head. Very nice aroma, mainly pine from hops with some grapes / fruity white wine. Lovely palate with medium body, slight stickiness, plenty of soft carbonation. Excellent taste with a mix of flavours in great balance. There’s hoppy bitterness present throughout and remaining for a long finish. There’s nice caramel malt sweetness. There’s light grape fruitiness giving some nice balance. There’s also a bit of peppery spice and some alcohol heat towards the end. Very enjoyable.

Can. Pretty much black with a large tan head that fades to a cm. Aroma of mocha, earthy berries, oak. Not a whole lot of body and dryish.Tastes much as it smells - subdued roast, mocha, berries and more than plenty of oak. Quite bitter at the end. A little ash. No obvious alcohol. I wouldn't have minded a little more sweetness or a bit less oak, but I do like the way it seems complete and well integrated as it is.
