Can shared thanks to Alexander. Clear golden. Lots of smoke and bacon, campfire, light malts. This is mostly just smoke on a crisp, medium sweet malt body. Nice, but it's mostly smoke.

Highly pleasant, smooth SIPA. Crisp pale malts, lemony hops, nips of pine needles, biscuit, crunchy hay. Not a ton to it but it goes down pretty easy.

Can from House Of Trembling Madness. Dark brown body with a thick beige head. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of lightly roasted malt and filter coffee. Flavour of Marmite, blackberry and Dr Pepper. Medium body with a slick mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Well balanced and dangerously easy to drink.
