Cloudy dirty gold with a small white head. Weedy and dirty grass. Wet grass and sweet fruit notes. Sticky and unpleasant.

(Can) Pours clear pale golden with tiny white head. Not much aroma and not great - wet cardboard and citrus. Light body with good bright carbonation. Doesn’t taste at all good. There are some ok citrus notes, but the taste is dominated by earthy vegetable flavours and some really quite unpleasant harsh bitterness. There’s some pleasant peppery notes. The aftertaste is unpleasant - somewhat metallic with notes of artificial sweetener. Not good.

(Can) Pours murky golden with lumps in it and head twice as tall as beer is deep (required two pint glasses to hold a 440ml can). Nice aroma - pine and topical fruit. Going to have to wait a long time to find out what it tastes like with 6cm of head remaining... Medium body with nice fine carbonation. Very tasty. A good caramel malt base with plenty of hops on top. Refreshing start. Good bitterness at end. Very pleasant, even with annoying pour. Love the packaging too.

(Can) Pours black with small loose tan head. Nice aroma - chocolate, notes of coffee, wood, bourbon. Medium body with plenty of mouthfilling carbonation. Good taste - dark toffee / burnt sugar , wood, bourbon give this a hard edge. There’s some pleasant gentle sour note at the start which carries through for a while. The chocolate is all down in the mix on the taste profile. Good drinking but was expecting something a bit richer.

(Can) Pours hazy amber with small white head. Nice aroma - lemon, pine with some pepper and biscuit hints. Medium body with plenty of soft smooth carbonation. Taste is a nice balance of toffee malt and hoppy bitterness. Whilst there is some reasonable bitterness in the finish, it’s not very hoppy. Refreshing, pleasant.

From a 440ml can on 7/8/2019. Pours an ever so slightly hazy golden with a small head. The nose is light fruit sand a modest spiciness.The tast follows suit - reasonably sweet tropical and stone fruit followed by a moderate bitterness with a decent spicy kick at the back Medium bodied, with a slightly soapy palate, and medium carbonation. A pretty good NEIPA if not quite hitting the mark. The Campbell's Soup-like packaging is a bit mysterious, odd and funky.

From a 440ml can on 28/7/2019 (shared by Butz with thanks). Pours not far off black with a small head. Has a decent chocolate nose with a bit of coffee. Taste wise, it features dark and milk chocolate, some nuts, and moderate bitterness with some pronounced roasty notes. I can't detect that it's barrel aged. Full bodied with moderate carbonation. A decent stout enough stout but unexciting.

Can. Clear reddish brown with a dense beige head. 3+ Choc orange aroma with some brioche. Medium bodied, maybe a bit fizzy for me for this sort of thing. Not all that sweet with cherries and spicy bitterness joining the chocolate and bread. The orange gets a bit lost. Tasty. Liked the balance of this one. Perhaps a little strong for what's offered.

big over ripe mangoes and crackery malty nose. Medium body, good mango character, good alpha acidity. Not massively bitter, but nice enough. Odd sweet. Clean. I had this with my parents and they didn’t particularly like it. I seem to be the only one who likes this

(Bottle) Pours Black with thin tan head. Nice aroma of chocolate, roast nuts, hints of rum and vanilla. Medium body with modest carbonation. Taste is lightly tart (vinegar rather than citrus) and lightly ashy with some gentle chocolate notes. Clearly a porter, but with some pleasant but subtle extras.
