Can. Pretty much opaque yellow orange with a good cm of white head. Aroma of grass and grapefruit with melon and berries underneath. Some light bread. A bit - but not too - bubblegummy. Lightish bodied. Fruity and sweet for a while before a bitter and almost bitingly herbal finish. (Whether this is what is meant by a plush, new wave finish I cannot say).

Can. Deep amber with a beige head that fizzes away. Yes, biscuity aroma with ginger. Then it turns out to have more depth than it first appears, with singed dark sugars and strong bread before quite firm bitterness accompanies the ginger at the end. Interesting.

Can from their advent box. Deep purple with a cm of pink head that lasts pretty well. Aroma of blackberries, summer pudding. A little sour, dryish and seasoned. Loads of blackberries. Nicely balanced, refreshing.

Can. Clear gold with a small white head. Aroma of passionfruit, somewhat earthy herbs, light bread. Sweet with rather bland malt under passionfruit, some orange, lighter herbal notes than suggested by the aroma, modest yet nagging bitterness. Not doing much for me.

I suppose if the red man is doubly fat the capaciousness of his sack is occluded. Canvent. Deep red amber with a beige head. Brooding toffee and stewed fruit aroma with lighter tropical fruits struggling through. But the hops cut though more than I recall they do in fm,rs,bs and the sweetness is less prominent. Some tropical fruit, resin, citrus and pepper towards the fairly bitter end. Not what I expected at all.

Can from their advent box. Gold with a cm of white head that doesn't hang around. Aroma is lightly grainy with light spices and a little apricot. Almost clean - there's a tiny earthy touch - with crackery bread, very little apricot but a nicely punchy spicy bitter finish. Sound and fresh.

Can from their advent calendar. Cloudy brownish yellow. Smells of sharpish ginger. Fairly sweet with a little oldish lemon as well as ginger. OK.

Can. Fair hazy orange with a good cm of white head. Tropical fruit cup aroma with light bread. A bit creamy soft body that also makes it all a bit muffled (par for the style). Lots of tropical fruit where the sweetness is just about countered by a citrus edge before a modestly bitter finish.

Can. Hazy yellow orange with a cm of white head. Aroma of orange, crackers, some tropical fruit cup. Getting towards watery. The fruit becomes a bit twiggy towards the end due to lack of something to sit on. OK for a dustcutter.
