(Tap) Clear amber with good white head. Fresh fruit aroma with tropical fruit, lime and pine. Great mouthfeel with medium body and plenty of soft mouth filling carbonation. Nice juicy start transitions to growing hoppy bitterness. Some caramel malt present. Very nice.

(Tap) Hazy golden with good white head. Lovely fruity and floral aroma. Medium body with great plentiful soft carbonation giving excellent mouthfeel. Great taste. There’s a good fruitiness - stone fruit and citrus - and gentle caramel sweetness together with a nice gentle bitterness in the finish. Very nice.

Can. Clear pale amber with a cm of white head. Tropical aroma with a bit of lime, kumquat, light biscuit. So it tastes. Wafty tropical fruit with a citrus edge. There's a little caramel to the malt but it's not very sweet. Fairly bitter end, slightly fumey. Good.

Can. Yes, bright pale yellow gold with a loosish white head. Aroma of mandarin, peach, , mango, pine, light bread. Clean. Fruity but more zesty and defined rather than pillowy and juicy (fine) but also a bit simple. Quite bitter.

Can. Very dark brown, 2cm tan head that never quite dissipates. Aroma of singed caramel, the sea, coffee, roasted malt. Rich but only medium bodied - carries mocha, liquorice, singed & briny flavours without all that much sweetness. Moderate bitterness is enough to make a finish. Balance is very good.

Can. Fairly cloudy orange with a loose white head. Aroma of pineapple, oranges, some lime, crackers. 7- Dryish and fairly clean with (for a hazy) focused crackery malt, citrus more than tropical fruit, moderate bitterness. Solid drop - although probably would disappoint murk aficionados.

Can. Black with a 2cm brown head. Aroma is very chocolaty but not obviously sweet, with strong bread, spices and fairly clearly brandy barrel. And so it goes - lots of chocolate, a fair bit of roast, some coffee, spices, a building warmth from brandy. A bit spicy at the end that might be oak, hops or both. Silky but not syrupy. It is very nice but nudges up on being strong for what it offers.

Can. Moderately hazy orange with a good cm of white head. 3+ Aroma of mandarin, berries and their leaves, light bread. Fruity but still savoury with leafy and bitter flavours keeping the sweeter citrus in check. Moderate bitterness is enough for a definite finish. Refreshing.

Can. Very clear amber, loose white head. Aroma of citrus (mainly mandarin), coloured pencil shavings, crackers, herbs. Moderately sweet with light bread rather than crackers, nice citrus but the pencil shavings and onion herbs are not so great. Modest bitterness. Never clear to me whether these are single hop beers or just named for the main hop - anyway this one didn't work so well for me.
