355ml can. Pours a slightly hazy copper with a medium, foamy, long lasting, off-white head that laces. Sweet aroma of bready caramel malt, honey, orange rind, floral and light piney hops. Sweet flavour of grainy caramel malt, biscuit, orange peel, honey and light piney hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Would have liked more hops, but it is easy to drink.

Had some sort of guava beer from Half Hitch up at Tin Dogs Crowsnest. Same beer? Not sure. Was creamy with a light, but quite sweet.

Soft and fruity, light herbals, fairly sweet though. Definitely could do with more hop brightness.

Dark brown. Soft toffee, woody hop bitterness. Good complexity, my favourite here.

Bright red-amber colour. Nice colour, needs head. Not much head on this pour. Sweet, caramel with a bit of toasty malt. Decent for what it is.

Gold, bright, just a thin head. Mild nose. Biscuity malt and subtle English hops (or English-derived). It’s actually solid but you don’t see a pale this mild much anymore.
