Poured from 355mL can from Whistle Buoy (brewery only release). Lightly hazed bright orangey red with small white head. Slight acetic note upfront, but not overpowering, more of a subtle generic jammy currant note, thin-med body. Average.

473mL can, pours a deep dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma has lots of sweetened coffee, a touch of cocoa, and toasted malt. Flavour has plenty of sweetened coffee, a hint of cocoa, and toasted malt. Not complex, and the coffee kinds of strikes me as a cheap sweetened cup of coffee. Thin and lacking depth but not bad.

473 ml can. Pours a very dark brown with huge tan head. Aromas of milk chocolate, nuts, coconut, and roasted malts with a little plastic. Flavors of unripened coconut, thin chocolate and roasted malts. Thin and nowhere near as rich as a Bounty Bar, but quite drinkable.These type of beers need a big malt base IMHO.

On a flight at the brewery on 14th August 2025. Hazy light/milky lemon body, white head. Well carbonated and 'peachy', not too sour at all. Nice in the afternoon sunshine sat on their terrace.

On a flight at the brewpub, 14th August 2025. Sat on the terrace in the afternoon sunshine it was vey refreshing. Clear and clean light golden body, white head. Not much of an aroma, some grassy like esters maybe. Taste is slightly more hoppy than malty, but overall it's a pleasant unoffensive Pilsner and has no standout features.

On a flight at the brewery on 14th August 2025. Red hue to the mahogany body, off white head. Typical dark lager with very little aroma or actual taste, some maltiness and slight hop content helps it along, but it's not strong in any department.

On a flight at the brewery on 14th August 2025, sat in the afternoon sunshine. Decent enough Kolsch, light golden body, clean and clear; white wispy head. Refreshing and clean feel, it's a beer for slamming down your throat, especially when it's this fresh. I can see the tank it's come from while drinking it.

On a flight at the brewery on 14th August 2025. Opaque milky golden body, snow white head. Sweet citrus front with a boozy feel, soft and dank in nature. Nice!

473 ml can. Pours a pale gold with light head. Aromas of pine, candied grapefruit and biscuity malts. Flavors follow same; a bit more pronounced and with softer sweeter malts. Easy to drink…

473 ml can. Pours black with full tan head of big bubbles. Aromas of ground coffee, bittering hops, chocolate and roasted malts. Flavors of powdery dark chocolate, dry black coffee, watery cola, and roasted malts, all with some odd distracting plastic notes. Doesn’t list coffee in the ingredients list but assume so.
