Can. Hazy yellowish orange with a rocky cm of white head. Aroma of oranges, lime, greenish mango, pineapple, crackers, hints of coconut. A slight antacid feel to the fruity taste with a dry and slightly astringent moderately bitter finish.

Can. Quite pale gold with a near cm of white head. Berry, citrus, grass and tropical fruit aroma with some crackers. But there's a bit honeyed depth to the malt and some pine to match the fruit towards the end, which is firmly bitter. Solid enough.

Can. Startlingly clear pale gold with an inch of white head. Aroma of kumquat, grapefruit, mango, honeydew melon, crackers. Fruit flavours seem a little tinny upon a sip - perhaps because there's not much substance to the malts behind. A little resin towards the fairly bitter finish. Not bad.

Can. Clear amber, an inch of white head. Gentle kumquat tropical fruit and pine aroma with some breadcrust. More "dank" tropical flavours in the taste which starts with sweet fruit then gets quite resinous and bitter towards the end. Weakish aroma but solid beer. Good value too.

LCI. Decent early attempt at the style. A little heavy and sticky sweet. Has a touch of an oat creamish note

Can. Black with a fading cm of beige head. Aroma of very sweet (is it maple syrup?) coffee, some roast. Mercifully not as sweet upon a taste - the roast and the coffee are quite bitter. OK, liked it a bit better than the imperial version.

Pirate Life Acai & Passionfruit Sour 3.5%
Pink-tinged gold with a tart sour fruit aroma. Medium bodied but smooth. It is really quite sour and acidic with a nice açai/passionfruit flavor. Solid.

Can. Clear deep amber with a pale beige head that's soon less than a coat. Aroma of dried and stewed fruit, breadcrust, toast. Full bodied. Clean and fruity with more obvious brandy spiced oak and some citrus towards the fairly bitter end. Just about enough going on with nice balance.
