Can. Misty gold with a loose white head that collapses to a cm. Aroma of pineapple, mandarin, nectarines, crackers. So it tastes - bittersweet with tropical and stone fruit - hard to tell what's hop and what's yeast. Lacks much of a finish - it's bittersweet from the start and then just fades. Fair enough.

375ml can into pint glass. From Beer Cartel. Hazy amber pour with a thousand tiny bubbles and a medium head of froth. You can smell the grapefruit from a foot away. Nice. Touch of musk sticks too. Very easy to drink, smooth with a nice body. Slight fizz and more grapefruit in the finish. This is good.

Can. Very dark brown with a large beige head that fades but returns with a swirl. Aroma of singed grain, dried banana, baked pears, funky spices, berries. Are the spices going to be barrel, esters or hops? Happily, it's not clear on a taste - but there's plenty of oak and not a heap of bitterness. Dry, mildly roasty, subdued funk and fruit. Some red wine notes emerge as it it warms a bit.

Pours slightly hazy gold with a large lasting head.Nose shows heavy grapefruit, soft clean malt, floral hops.Flavours include more grapefuit, including a slightly astringent bitterness. Some soft clean malt underneath but it's pretty restrained. It's all about the grapefruit in this one.

I checked my rating of the now-defunct Molly Rose Shoulders of Giants (a 7.4% IPA) and I'd said it was disturbingly easy drinking for such a strong beer. That comment certainly rings true for this one. I get pine needles, rockmelon and guava, honey and a little caramel on the nose. The pine needles dominate the tasting, and that alcohol does come through late. Beautiful aroma, good taste.

Can. Dark brown with a beige head that fades to around a cm. Aroma of chocolate, bread (not brioche, leaner), mild citrus, some pepper. Dryish with some roast and licorice as well. Brief bitter finish. A bit fizzy but the balance is nice - although it's curt rather than enveloping.

From a 375ml can on 6/3/2021. Pours a clear light golden with a medium head. The nose is herbal, bready and resiny. The taste gives you sweet and sour citrus against a bready malt background. The hops a very firm, dry and just a touch sour, and linger long. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Certainly interesting, but not really a home run for me. Of course, it might just be the hop.

Can. Gold with a white head. Aroma of oranges, lemon, spices, light biscuit. Sweet and a bit gummy with citrus and spices. A fair bit of body for 3.8%. Doesn't really dry out at all with bitterness that struggles to show. A bit depressing that they think this is the sort of bitter worth making a local version of.

A very well balanced saison. Loads of white pepper, spice, raisins and orange peel. Lots of lemon in the mouth as well. Very enjoyable.
