Can. Clear gold, white head. Aroma of grass, Sauv Blanc, crackery bread, guava, lychee. Only modestly sweet despite fragrant tropical notes. Bready malt has hints of richness. NS not as dominant as the aroma suggests but asserts itself a little more towards the fairly bitter finish. Vibrant but also polished.

17/1/2026. Can at ITFC Beer share. From the Norwich Arts Centre fundraiser following the World Beer Awards. Decent pour. Washing up liquid aroma. Quite sweet, light bitterness and body. Highly carbonated. Fair.

Can. Opaque yellowish orange with a soon gone white head. Aroma of tropical fruit, herbs, light crackers. Getting towards watery. Fruity with coconut, pineapple, some citrus, weedy herbs. Tails off a bit with low bitterness. Quite refreshing. Not really my sort of thing.

It has a big whack of pine jumping out of the glass, plus some passionfruit and bread. It's nicely balanced in the mouth - smooth as silk, with good length. A cracking WCIPA.

Aroma of burnt toast, milk arrowroot biscuit and grass. Caramel and grapefruit pop up in the mouth as well. Nice, but none of the malty notes really hit when tasted. It's the grass, biscuit and grapefruit that linger the longest.

That's going to a lot of trouble for a fart joke. Well done. Can. Dark reddish brown with a light tan head. Roasty aroma with some singed caramel, mocha, weeds. So it tastes. Quite sweet, fairly roasty. Could have used a little more bitterness but not bad at all. Very drinkable.

Can. Just misted gold with a cm of so of loosish white head. Engaging gooseberry, under-ripe tropical fruit and citrus peel aroma with some crackers. Light bodied, could have used a few more bubbles. Gooseberries, lime and crackers - just enough sweetness followed by just about enough bitterness. Pretty good.

Can. Misted gold with a small white head. Shyish aroma of kumquats, light biscuit, lime leaf, orange blossom. Fairly light bodied. A bit empty under the hops, but they are more expressive than suggested by the aroma. Taut citrus mainly, with a dry and fairly bitter finish.
