440ml can from New Invention Brewery webshop. Look - fairly clear gold, small white head, decent retention. Nose - lemon, aromatic, some background earth, orange peel, pale malts. Taste - quite grassy, citrus, passionfruit, chalk, dry bitterness. Palate - light to medium bodied, wet mouthfeel, average carbonation, dry finish. Its decent and does its job as a refreshing beer but I'm not wowed particularly for the price.

440ml can from New Invention Brewery webshop. Slight hazy gold, with a one finger of white head. Aroma of tangerine, pine and passionfruit. Taste has a resinous pine, passionfruit, citrus tang with a punchy bitter finish offset with just enough sweetness throughout. Occasionally earthy dank notes come through to add another dimension. Body and carbonation is medium. Very nice indeed.

440ml can from New Invention Brewery webshop. Golden and clear, moderate sized foamy white head, thin retention. Aroma of sweet grainy malts, yeast, floral. Taste of sweet malts, grain, floral hops with a lovely smooth body with almost a creaminess to it without the richness and a moderate carbonation. Its so moreish I wish they sold these in 4 packs! Best lager style beer I have ever had in my life (as at review #978)!

440ml can from New Invention Brewery @ 7%. Very dark brown with thin tanned head. Malty roasted aroma, dark chocolate, caramel, coconut. However coconut is more notable in the taste without it being overdone. You have sweet malts, slight coffee roastiness, chocolate, coconut, lemon and earthy hops. Medium body and carbonation, quite dry. Using roasted coconut seems to cut out some of the creaminess and richness you can get from an already malty style. Using Sorachi hops seems odd with its big lemon notes but seems to cut through well here as it is used in moderation. Very well crafted beer this. The more I have the more I like!
