Can. Light brown with a huge white head. Toasty aroma with light spices. Only a bit overcarbonated. Dryish with toast, hints of nuts, modest spicy bitterness. OK.

Can. More gold than amber with a loosish white head of ~ a cm. Aroma of honeydew melon, pineapple, mandarins, light bread, pine branches, pepper and menthol. Dryish and the malt doesn't do much beyond provide a platform. But that works fine here with green tinged hop aromatics that are more spice, resin and peel than fruit. Bitter with an almost gin-like finish. Well thought out and good.

Can. Very pale orange with a white head. Gentle orange, pine needle and cracker aroma. A little more grunt upon a taste, with pine and some herbal notes creeping up towards the dryish and fairly bitter finish. Tightly wound but not bad.

Can. Pale golden amber with a white head. Aroma of grapefruit, pine, light breadcrust. Tastes very much as it smells. Clean but fruit, pine and some malt presence go nicely together. But bitterness is pretty meek.

Can. Misted gold with a ~cm of white head. 6+ Restrained but focused citrus and light bread aroma with some minor tropical and pine notes. So it tastes. Nice richness in the pale malt but it doesn't stop the fruit and then some resin coming through towards a bitter finish that's more insistent than firm. Classy rather than shouty.

Can. Amber, a good cm of white head. Aroma of caramel, pine, light bread, some floral notes. Pretty much how it tastes - perhaps some pepper and grass at the bitter finish. All very tenor register but impressively harmonious.
