Can. Clear amber with a loosish beige head. Aroma of breadcrust, grapefruit, light spices. So it tastes but it's rather empty with caramel where you'd hop for a bit more malt presence. Modest bitterness. Fair enough.

From a 375ml can on 27/4/2023. Pours a super dark amber with a medium head. Has a mild malty nose, with a touch of caramel and some nuts. The same appears in the flavour, along with a touch of dried fruit. moderately hoppy and enough o keep it interesting Medium bodied with average carbonation. Pretty solid if not particularly notable.

Can design is a tribute to Seinfeld for some reason. Clear pale amber with a 2cm white head. Aroma of pine, breadcrust and grapefruit, hints of tropical fruit and weeds. Light bodied. A little sweet and more tropical than guessed from the aroma. Plainish apart from the hops but the pine gradually imposes itself towards the fairly bitter finish. Good, if a bit clinical.

Can, out of date by a few weeks. Cloudy amber with a white head. 3+ Aroma of apricots and tart blood plums, crackers. 7+ Light bodied but slightly creamy. Fruit is less prominent than suggested by the aroma (which is fine). Soft, light crackery bread, gentle sourness, twiggy spices, then just a little sweet and tart fruit. Elegant and refreshing.

Can. Moderately hazy orange with a loosish white head. Highly tropical aroma with lychees, guava and some stinky overripe pineapple. A little citrus edge keeps it together. A little more body that expected. Only a little unclean - somewhat chewed crackery malt - and bursting with fruit. Verges on burning at the end but avoids it. Pretty good but not quite for me.

330ml can from School of Animals, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a slightly hazy reddish amber colour with a mostly lasting frothy off-white head. The aroma is big raspberries. The flavour is moderate to light sour, with a crisp, mineral, tart raspberry palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation. A little one dimensional and a touch watery. Quite drinkable but it doesn’t stand out from the crowd.
