473ml can. Pours a clear yellow gold with a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that leaves sticky curtains of soapy lace. Mild aroma of grainy pale malt, honey, black tea and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy pale malt, grapefruit, apricot, honey, floral and piney hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Just ok.

473ml can. Pours a hazy yellow orange with a medium, foamy, short lived, white head that laces. Mild fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, orange and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, orange zest, white grape and floral hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Not really getting any hibiscus, just a generic floral note. A little disappointing.

473ml can. Pours a hazy yellow gold with a medium, foamy, short lived, white head that laces. Tart fruity aroma of grainy wheat malt, lemon and juniper. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy wheat malt, lemon and orange peel in a dry, tart finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Not terrible. It's refreshing and crushable, just one dimensional. The lemon overpowers everything else. More of a lemon sour than anything else.

473mL can. Pours black with small beige head. Aroma milk, espresso, and vanilla. Flavour has roasted coffee and malts with a bit of vanilla; pretty coffee forward. A bit of a milky aftertaste. Pretty decent.

Amber, beige head. Earthy nose. Palate has no Irish cream, just a vague fruity taste with light sweetness. Meh

On tap at brewery. Pours black with small beige head. Aroma has roasted malts, espresso, notes of chocolate and caramel malts. Flavour dominated by dry roasted malts with some espresso notes. Pretty decent, but the nose was more impressive than the flavour.

On tap at brewery. Pours dark brown with small beige head. Aroma very strongly salted caramel and vanilla. Flavour packs a lot of well-sallted caramel and a bit of coffee. Mouthfeel is thick and syrupy, but quite smooth. Definitely toes the line in terms of heavy-handed dessert flavours, but very enjoyable beer.
