Can. Cloudy burnt orange with a small white head. Tart sports drink aroma with citrusy salts. Quite tart with mandarins as well as lemon, some tropical chews. Low bitterness. Not really my thing.

Can. Clear deep brown with an inch of pale beige head that fades. Toasty and spicy aroma with some gentle dried fruit. So it tastes. Dryish with toast rather than caramel, firm spicy bitterness. Perhaps not the deepest but has really refreshing balance.

Can. Deep reddish amber with a beige head. Rather indistinct fruity and malty aroma. Sweet with caramel and some chocolate and nuts, then tenor register citrus and bitterness struggle a bit to emerge.

Can. Clear brown or deep amber, a cm + of light beige head. Aroma of grapefruit, brown bread, some stone fruit. More clearly nectarine and grapefruit upon a taste, which is not very brown ale -like at all. Dryish with some sticky and spiced breadcrust, plenty of fruity hops and a fairly bitter finish.

From a 440ml can on 3/9/2024. Pours a hazy medium golden with a smallish head. The nose is punchy tropical and citrus fruit. Deivers on all the fruitiness promised on the can - peach being the most prominent but passionfruit and pineapple also there is spades, along with some orange. Has a strong, pithy, lingering bitterness that's fairly intense for the style, but really works well. Silky mouthfeel with moderate to average carbonation. Bold, a bit unusual, and exceptionally good.

Can, 12C. Black with less than a coat of tan head. 3- Aroma is indeed pastry-like - baklava, coffee, roast. Almost syrupy, low carbonation. But then not as sweet as expected with nut skin, bitter roast and firm bitterness keeping things under control. Very rich though - mocha, only hints of cinnamon, roast, vanilla syrup. The bitterness is needed but does start to nag after 150ml - as usual I'd like something like this in a smaller can than 440ml. But still, it's very good.

Can. Dark brown, a cm+ of tan head. 3+ Aroma of grapefruit, mocha, some roast, earth, pine. Quite light bodied. Only hints of darker malts - some earthy coffee - lots of citrus and pine. Dry and fruity but not v bitter at the end.

Can. Almost opaque orange with a cm of white head. Aroma of a melange of citrus - mainly grapefruit - some pineapple, pine needles, light bread. Juicy but remains pretty clean and only moderately sweet. A variety of citrus flavours - juicy orange, blossoms, grapefruit, some leaves. Dryish and bitter finish. Juicy without sacrificing a focussed palate. Really good.
