Can. Almost opaque yellowish orange with a modest white cap that lasts the whole way. Heavy hoppy aroma with yellow peach, pineapple, oranges and chewed crackers. Upon a taste there's a lightening sharper citrus note that ensures it stays very drinkable before a long, drying, moderately bitter finish. Very good indeed.

Can. Almost clear amber with an off-white head that fades to a good cm. 3+ Aroma of toast, singed caramel, light spices. Rich but not that sweet despite that lick of caramel before firm spicy bitterness. Similar to but better than to their March to October from a couple of years ago.

Can. Cloudy orange with a vanishing white head. Aroma of crackers, spices and stone fruit. No real funk in the nose but there's boot polish along with the gentle fruit in the taste. Dryish crackers and almost punchy spices along with moderate bitterness. Some oak ties things together - it has depth and elegance.

Can, 11C. Very dark brown, a beige head vanishes. 3- Aroma of caramel, gentle roast, spices. Only a little sweet but quite fruity with prunes and raisins before moderate roast and coffee before a moderately bitter finish - which creeps up after a while.

Can. Deep gold with a white head that fades to a fat coat. Aroma of light biscuity dough, spices. Briefly richly malty but after a time that's lifted away by tightly spicy bitterness. I like that it waits. Pretty good in a style that rarely thrills.

Can. Hazy orange with a white head that doesn't last. Breezy citrus aroma with juice and a little zest, hints of mango and papaya, crackers. Not as soft-textured as expected with bright fruit and a hint of herbs at the dry and slightly bitter end.

Can. Lots of beer looks like witbier now. Yellowish orange; cloudy with a white head. Aroma of oranges, spices, crackers. Spritzy. Dryish with lots of spices and highish bitterness for the style. Refreshing but a little disjointed.

Now I see this is not new but one I'd previously missed. Perhaps too late. Can. Opaque amber with a cm of white head. Mild aroma with mixed citrus, some peach and mango. These things are more obvious in the taste before a bitter finish that has some menthol as well as fruit.

Can. Almost opaque orange with a good inch of white head. 3+ Slightly shy aroma of orange, mango, grapefruit. 7+ Crackery and not all that vague malt is slightly sweet. Citrus and tropical fruit are fairly juicy before they give way to a peppery, somewhat bitter finish. Great balance.

(Can) Pours clear deep red with tiny beige head. Lovely rich aroma with caramel, raisins, notes of candy, alcohol, hint of pear drops. Fairly full body, slick, modest fine prickly carbonation. Great taste. Toffee and alcohol with some decent bitterness giving a good balance. Very enjoyable.
