Can. Slightly hazy gold with a weak white head that's soon gone. Aroma of mandarin, peach, bread, weeds. Light bodied, quite fizzy. Medium sweet with stone fruit (esters?), citrus and spicy/ weedy easy-going bitterness. Pleasant quaffer.

Can. Deep gold with a white head. Aroma of cantaloupe, mandarin, passionfruit, some pineapple, light bread. Just medium bodied. Moderate carbonation. Lots of fruit - mainly tropical with some mandarin - but not a lot underneath with moderate bitterness. A bit soapy at the end. OK but lacks much in the way character.

(Can) Pours hazy golden with small white head. Bold refreshing aroma of pine and tropical fruit. Medium bodied with good bright carbonation. Refreshing fruity taste, nice balance of slight tartness and subtle caramel sweetness. Pleasant bitterness in finish. Very nice easy drinking.

(Can) Pours clear rose tinted golden with tiny thin white head. Aroma of raspberry, notes of candy sugar and leafy and lime hints. Light body with plenty of carbonation. Odd but not unpleasant taste. There’s tartness but not too much. There’s passion fruit and hints of raspberry. There’s no obvious sweetness. There are some other hard to place notes, one sort of funky. Refreshing but a bit odd.

Can from Brewcraft at home (bought at Brewcraft 7th anniversary party). Golden straw yellow pour with foamy rich white head. Aroma is pilsner crispness with melon mineral grassy hops, vegetal hop bite. Sweet malt. Taste follows - crisp pilsner bite, with melon, apple, grassy bitterness. Thin palate. Crisp finish. Not bad.

Presumably parti-gyled with Loose Lips. Can. Clear pale orangish amber with a cm of white head that lasts OK. Cheery aroma of grapefruit, pine and biscuit. Light bodied, dryish with medium high carbonation. Biscuity with some oranges as well as grapefruit, some spices & pine. Really quite dry and moderately bitter at the end. A mite aloof for me.

Can. 2020 version is 12% ABV. Deep clear amber with a good inch of cream head. Mainly brooding aroma of tenor-register citrus - kumquat, cooked grapefruit - mango, pine, bread crust. Some toppier notes lighten the scene a little. Rich but really not that sweet with dark bread crust and caramelized sugars. Fruit is less prominent but pine comes through surprisingly gracefully towards the end. It's not overtly boozy nor is the bitterness thumping (although there's plenty). Nearly passed on this because it's obviously excessive _and_ in a 500ml can, but glad I didn't. Very good.

Can. Pale red with a very brief wisp of white head. Aroma of sweet cherries, twangy wheat. Lightish bodied, low carbonation. Not very flavourful - the cherries surprisingly so. Lightly sour with the kiwis only really registering as a slight astringency at the end. Slightly bitter. I don't know if this was what they were going for.

500ml can from May #ratebeersupertasters. Pours deep amber. Bit of pine on subdued nose. Thin. Off balance with caramel malts overwhelming slightly astringent pine. Nah...
