440ml can bought from the Two-Tailed Lion and drunk at home. It pours light gold with the slightest haze and a quickly dissipating white head. Fruity aroma, some grapefruit, lemon peel, a touch of orchard fruit. Sweet taste with a bit of a vegetal note character which fades over the course of the sip. Shirt finish with apple jam and grapefruit in the aftertaste. Watery body. Not bad but a bit odd. Could take or leave it.

Can from Craft & Berry. Appearance - pale yellow and hazy. Fluffy white head. Nose - floral and orange. Taste - light orangey notes. Again planty. Palate - light bodied, balanced and refreshing. Overall - very balanced, even if there might not have been many fruity high points.

Can from Craft & Berry. Appearance - deep orange and hazy. White head that sticks around. Nose - funky, earthy, overripe, pungent fruit. Floral too. Taste - peach and light citrus. Perhaps slightly pungent and funky but nothing like the nose. Palate - close to medium bodied. Creamy middle. Tangy finish. Overall - a bit weird but enjoyable.

Can from Craft & Berry. Appearance - a complete and utter gusher. Lost a third easily. Then golden with steady bubbles but no head. Nose - lime, funky yeast, but also something a little unpleasant in terms of sourness. Taste - lime is now dominant, so this seems to mostly be shielding me from the unpleasant other yeastiness. Palate - tangy, close to bone dry and sour. Overall - a think there's a yeast infection going on here. Not as the brewer had intended, I reckon!

Can from Craft & Berry. Appearance - deep brown with a plummy shade. Nose - undergrowth, earth, baked fruits. Taste - raisins and bread, toasted. Palate - close to medium with a creamy texture. Decent linger though not the expected bitterness. Overall - nice beer. I'd put this into English Strong Ale rather than Red IPA given the softer notes and the low bitterness.
