Can. Almost clear pale amber with a good inch of white head. Citrus and pine aroma is a little catty with breadcrust and peach behind. Light bodied, almost creamy soft carbonation. A nice balance of citrus, peach, pine and bread before a finish which is a tad less bitter than the otherwise throwback vibe suggests.

Can. Clear amber with a small white head. Aroma of breadcrust, toffee, grapefruit and weeds. Quite sweet - very unabashed throwback crystal malt use - before a very Cascade weedy bite at the end. Pretty good.

Can. Cloudy orange with a white head that fades. Funky aroma with old citrus, hints of berries, strong bread, some earthy notes. More earthy than citrusy with berries emerging from the bread, then some herbal notes in a swelling bitterness. Interesting - like Coopers Red meets Kviek.

Can. Just unclear gold, no head. 3- Aroma of grapes, funky tropical fruit, Dubbin, twigs. Quite sour but with enough light bready sweetness and body that it never seems more than snappy. Slippery with low carbonation. Drying grape skins provide a finish. Pretty good - not easy to end up with a nice balance with the acidity with this sort of thing.

Can. Clear amber with a large off white head that lasts really well. Aroma of tropical and citrus fruit with some breadcrust. So it tastes. Lots of pineapple. Not that sweet but enough of a somewhat toasty malt backing before a dryish but not terribly bitter finish. I still love this sort of stuff.

375ml can at Goodwood Hotel, Goodwood. Pours a misty amber with a few bubbles and a foamy white head that dissipates. Nose of malt and grain. Fruity, sweet, bit of caramel malt then a sour grain finish. Medium body, smooth texture. Unexceptional but easy to drink.

Can. Deep clear gold. A white head fizzes away completely. Funky aroma with Dubbin, grapes left to turn, mucky sheep. The taste is less grubby: peach with a grapey edge, skins and some twigs. Gently sour, some remaining sweetness contributes to more body than you'd guess. A lingering acid presence at the end. Interesting things coming out of Robe these days.
