Can. Even turned, it's barely misted golden amber with a cm of white head. Aroma of bread, peach, hints of apples, weeds. Sweetness that's a bit biscuity comes through gradually and is met by firmish weedy bitterness that lingers. Pretty convincing.

Can. Moderately hazy orangish amber with a fluffy cm of white head. Aroma of peach, crusty bread, some biscuit, hints of herbs. Pretty much how it tastes - the hop aromatics emphasizes sweetness, so it needs the firmish bitterness and very slight astringency to balance. Very tasty but fairly straightforward for its strength.

Kind of expect this to be called The Yellow, but OK. Can. Roasty aroma with coffee, some cola, liquorice. Dryish with mocha and roast, hints of prunes. I want to say weedy bitterness but maybe that's projection. Stern bitter finish is pretty great but maybe what comes before is thinner and not as enveloping as Coopers.

Can. Clear brown with a beige head that's soon gone. 6- Aroma of toffee, roast, toast, spices. Sweet with lots of body for 4%. Modest carbonation. Taste follows the aroma. Bitterness creeps up. Sustaining, interesting but ultimately too sweet for me.

Can. Gold. A white head disappears as it pours.Funky bootpolish aroma with apricot, mandarin, nectarines, hints of berries, old lemons. The way that there's a bit of body and the sourness is restrained reminds you that they know what they're doing. Lovely fruit - apricot is most prominent - with light spice and bracken notes at the end.

Can. Misted yellow with a mousse-like white head that lasts well. Light smoke and cracker aroma with hints of honeyed dough. Somewhat creamy with little sweetness, plenty of rather refined smoke, crackers. Low bitterness. Elegant.

Can. Almost opaque yellowish orange with a loose white head that's soon a cm or less. Aroma of orange and lime juice, new wine, crackers, twiggy herbs. Fizzy. Less vibrant upon a taste with gentle citrus, tropical and twiggy notes before a modestly bitter and slightly astringent finish.

(Can) Pours clear golden amber with big off-white head. Lovely aroma. Stone fruit to the fore, yeasty, peppery note and candy hints. Light body with full carbonation. Great taste. There’s peppery spice through the palate, that develops into a long pleasant moderately bitter finish. There’s fruit, but less than the aroma. Stone fruit and banana notes. There’s a yeasty taste in the mid palate. Very good.

(Can) Pours slightly hazy golden with no head. Aroma is complex and interesting. It’s fruity but hard to identify exactly what fruit. It vinous and a bit funky. There’s woody hints. Smooth medium body with bright fine carbonation. Like the aroma, the taste is complex and interesting. It is nicely sour, and fruity. There are woody and earthy notes. Very enjoyable.
