Poured from 473mL can (bb 13 Aug 2021 - expired). Hazed gold with small white head. Aroma of honey and apple juice. Taste of a bland generic blonde ale cereal malt and a hint of apple. Acetaldehyde probably? It could be worse...

Amber and bright, though without much head. Caramel, earthy hop, toast. Clean and balanced. Light grapefruit. Old school APA, well made.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg 17/Sept/2021). Dark brown with small beige head. Dry roast malt with a touch of chocolate, feint hint of fruit. Fairly decent.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg 13/Aug/2021). Clear-ish gold with small white head. Run of the mill drip coffee and indiscriminate malt profile. A bit boring overall.

Poured from 473mL can, quite active, pours huge foam even with a slow pour and after refilling. Hazy gold with huge white head. Belgian yeast (think Unibroue) with quite mild apricot and some peppery spice. Decent.

473mL can, pours a cloudy bright yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out a strange floral hop character, slight earthiness, and biscuity malt. Flavour has a little hop burn, with earthy hops, biscuity malt and chalk. Very clumsily made — there's plenty of hop burn and chalk, and yet the hops seem washed out. Weak stuff.

Very dark brown. Big creamy head. Nose is full of herbaceous and orangey hops, along with bitter black malts. Rich chocolate malt, with a fair bit of residual sweetness. This complements well the citrusy, leafy hop character and abundant hop bitterness. Very nice black IPA.

Can. Very dark brown with a rich frothy head. On the palate a bit of cocoa, touch of fruitiness. On the palate, fairly full body, leaning towards sweetness with some nice residual sugars, notes of toffee, again very light fruitiness. Good balance.
