Can. Clear gold with a white head that's soon a coat. Aroma of pineapple, some mandarin & mango skin, crackers. Dry with enough crackery bread to support quite punchy fruity hops before a moderately bitter (and somewhat spicy) finish. Snappy at the end. Right up my street, although just like any good XPA should be is total bollocks.

Can. Dark brown with a cm of beige head. Aroma of sweetened coffee. But there's some nuts and toast upon a taste and the palate is rather broader than suggested by the aroma. Lots of coffee, not too much dark sugar. Some bitterness that might just be coffee at the end. Good.

Can. Clear paleish amber with a white head. Aroma of boiled oranges, pine, breadcrust. Very clean with modest sweetness before firmly bitter dry finish. Citrus, some tropical fruit- mango, papaya- that ooze out of the caramelised notes, gentle pine. The way the malt contributes and supports but doesn’t get in the way of the hops at all is impressive.

(Can) Pours very dark brown with good big loose tan head that faded fast. Nice aroma of toffee, toast and coffee. Full bodied, creamy, slightly sticky. Taste is great mix of sweet and bitter with a big bitter black coffee finish and toffee sweetness in the mid palate. Very nice, if a bit full on with the coffee.
