330ml can from Beers of Europe: BB November 2021. Drank in the afternoon sun on 5th September 2021 after a two hour dog walk. Clean and clear golden body, short lived white head. Decent hoppy nose and bitterness, light citrus leanings and very refreshing. Happy with this!

0.33 l can from 'Beer Republic', best before December 2021. Clear, amber with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, gently herbal-resiny, moderately fruity aroma of honey, pine, orange blossom indeed and grains. Gently sweet, malty, moderately bitter, quite herbal-resiny and gently fruity taste of honey, pine, orange blossom, light juniper and some grains, followed by a short, gently bitter, moderately dry, slightly resiny, rather herbal finish. Medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Interesting, nicely herbal beer.

330ml can from Beers of Europe: BB December 2021. Drank in my back garden on 25th August 2021. Pours a lovely bronze colour with an off-white head. No idea what Manuka leaves smell or taste like, but I found this beer interesting and very pleasant. Mild spicy undertones on a bed of soft fruits and blend of grains (oats, barely, wheat, rye).

A dark brown beer, a head is medium and blond. Aroma has breadyness, red currants, caramel, notes of rye. Taste has smooth maltyness, red berries, some flowers. Medium bodied, smooth. This is a far away from typical Sahti. But nice beer anyway, smooth and interesting.

330ml can @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Aug 21. Thanks Jeremy for this one. Misty pale yellow appearance, small white head. Lovely lemony salty gose aroma, continuing nicely to taste, salt helps provide a nice crisp refreshing pop on the palate, with excellently fresh lemon citrus zest. A really great gose this, flavoursome and well presented.

9th August 2021: Shrewsbury Gathering at Chez Sophie. Five likely lads sharing beers. 330ml can taken by me; BB Feb 2022. Obtained from Beers of Europe. Misty lemon body, white topping. Lemon's rule the nose and taste, mini-pepper heat (but only because it's mentioned on the can and I searched for it!).

Can. A hazy golden beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of exotic fruits, hops, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of hops, straw, malt, and fruit, leading to a bitter finish.
