I'm not usually a single hop guy but I'll make an exception for this one. Aromas of grapefruit, burnt caramel, pineapple and apple. There's a big whack of hops in the mouth btr with a nice malt backbone as well. Delicious.

Can. Mine at least was made by Pirate Life. Surprisingly pale gold with a loose white head that doesn't last. Aroma of oranges, some herbal and boiled lolly notes. Sweet and bland before citrus and rather crude bitterness. Disappointing.

Not really a collaboration, more a sub-brand cross-promotional synergistic exercise. Can. Fairly hazy orange with a good inch of white head. 3+ Aroma of pineapple, oranges, hints of lime, crackers. Only moderately sweet but it really doesn't dry out and there's very little bitterness. Some white peach as well as citrus and lots of pineapple. Doesn't offer a lot for its strength but pretty good.

Aromas of mango, pineapple, mandarin, oats and honey. A nice mouthfeel with the mango, mandarin and piney hops winning out. Bit of an odd one. Lots there, but I'm not sure it quite comes together.

355ml can into schooner glass. From BWS, Brighton-Le-Sands. Light amber beer with a thin white head which dissipates. Fizzy and refreshing, lightly sour and tangy. Lingering lemon finish. Not bad, quenching. Very pleasant ale.

From a 500ml can on 15/9/2022 (shared with Butz). Pours near black with a smallish head. Smells of chocolate and cocoa, with a bit of spiciness and a touch of bourbon. Complex on the taste, dark and milk chocolate, some light caramel, licorice and roasted malt. Finishes with a sharpish bitterness and just a touch of chilli heat. The palate is slick with moderate to average carbonation. A very enjoyable big sipper.

Can. Clear brown. A beige head tries but fails to form. Aroma of stewed fruit, brown sugar, coffee essence. Oily. There is some sign of a stout with roast and coffee as well as lots of booze and a harsh bitterness. After a 1/4 of a can I tried another 1/4 as flavoured milk: much better. It would also work poured over ice cream.
