Can, bb 3/23 seems quite optimistic. Golden amber with a white that lasts a while. Aroma of grapefruit, boiled orange, light biscuit, some pine. Moderately sweet with a biscuit edge. Some toppy but mostly tenor register citrus that’s gradually overtaken by nicely spicy pine at the fairly bitter end. Pretty good.

Pours black with a large lasting head.Nose shows overt hazelnut by the truckload along with soft vanilla and roasted malt.Flavours include more hazelnut, but strong enough to be almost chemical-like. Underneath is more of the vanilla and roasted malt. But the hazelnut is pretty overwhelming.

(Can) Pours thick murky golden with small white head. Nice aroma of pine, citrus and mango. Smooth, full body with plenty of soft carbonation giving great mouthfeel. Taste is a bit challenging. The start is fairly complex but with a mix of fresh fruity flavours but these give way quite quickly to a rather intense bitterness with some salty hints and some alcohol heat, leaving a somewhat harsh aftertaste. Overall an enjoyable drink but a bit full on with the hops.

(Can) Pours very dark brown with ruby hints and a tiny tan head. Amazing aroma of hazelnuts and biscuits with chocolate and vanilla hints. Medium bodied, smooth, somewhat creamy, with fine bright carbonation. Extraordinary taste too with a lot going on and to very good effect. There’s plenty of hazelnut, and a malt that reminds me of digestive biscuits. There’s vanilla, and some minty notes. And there is some nice bitterness in the finish to balance it out. Unusual and very enjoyable.

From a 375ml can on 5/3/2021. Am a little cautious approaching this as the only other beers I've tried from this brewer were the hideous Old Man Yells At Cloud NEIPAs, which introduced me to the hell that is bad hop burn. But onto this one! Pours an opaque deep golden with a medium head. Has a quite strong dank, stewed and citrus fruit aroma with a good dash pine and resin. It's actually pretty tasty on the sip, with some sweet orange and peach set off against a bread and caramel malt background, which is met by a quite firm, dry and lingering pine, resin and citris rind hop finish, with a hint of warming booze at the back. The mouthfeel slick and a touch syrupy, the carbonation moderate. This is actually rather good - bold and well balanced. A very enjoyable and unashamedly big (non-hazy) IPA.

Can. Clear amber with a white head that lasts pretty well. Aroma of grapefruit, kumquat, pine, breadcrust. Only medium bodied. Sweetish with some boiled sweets then citrus and pine towards a finish that’s bitter but not thuddingly so. Fair enough- does remind of those IIPAs where sweetness fought bitterness to a standstill.

Pours amber with a large fading head.Nose shows pine and resinous hops, a fair bit of sweet smelling malt with a hint of caramel, some spicy hops and a faint petrol-like note, and finally some tropical fruit behind all that.Flavours include heavy resinous pine by the truckload, a fair whack of clean sweet malt, a bit of grapefruit, some soft booze, and then a long lasting punchy bitterness in the clean finish.
