Nice enough, but not enough spice or lactose to taste as they say it should.

440ml can. Pours a dark clear brown with a small off white head. Aroma is mild dark malts. Beer is off dry, smooth & pretty light for a Porter. Essentially fine, but not memorable in any way.

440ml can. Pours black to dark brown with small tan head. Aroma is mild dark malts and sour beer. Beer is medium weight, dry & mildly bitter that lingers with a slightly sour base.
Not bitter enough for the real hop fans & a bit short.
Would not buy again.

Can. Dark brown, small beige head. Aroma is fairly roasty with chicory , grass, bread. And then more coffee in the taste. Clean lager palate with breadcrust, light spices, decent bitterness. Easy drinking for 7%.

Draft. A golden beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of hops, citrus fruits, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes hops, citrus fruits, and malt, leading to a bitter finish.

330ml bottle. Pours orange brown. Grapefruit, soap, strong caramel, orange, synthetic grapefruit. Good body. Grapefruit beers are always very hit and miss with me, and this one is a miss.
