Pours gold with a large fading head.
Nose shows bready malt, spicy herbal and grassy hops.
Flavours include biscuity malt, spicy hops, soft grainy malt before finishing with an assertive bitterness, perhaps more on the line of a german pilsner.

Can. Clear amber with a fat coat of white head. Brooding pine, bread and overripe tropical fruit aroma with some caramel. Very briefly rich but then turns out to be only medium bodied. Hoppy and a bit fumy with pine, minor tropical notes and a boozy bitter finish. Big and not entirely dumb.

Can. Brown with a brief beige head. Chocolate brioche aroma with honey and choc-orange. A bit of body, low carbonation. Fairly dry with some earthy spices, chocolate, honey. Drying honey and pepper finish. Complex, interesting.

Can. Copper with a coat of off white head. Aroma of spiced biscuit, some floral notes. The caramel in the biscuit leans towards singed. There is little sweetness, moderate yeasty/ fruity aromatics and modest bitterness. Pretty good, if a tad strong for what it offers.

From a 375ml can on 2/1/2025. Pours a deep brown with a small head. The nose has some light roasty notes and a whiff of pine. Tastes of roasted malt, coffee, campfire ash and citrus fruit, with some firm piney hops at the back, delivering a lingering bitterness. Fullish body with average carbonation. A really solid Black IPA.

Can. Pale gold with a cm of white head. Aroma of light bread, cooked gooseberry, some spices. Light bodied, medium high carbonation works well. Briefly rich bready malt with a little lusciousness, hints of fruit, decent spicy bitter punch. A little earthy note I liked less. But not bad at all. A good series.
