Can. Blonde, just unclear, modest white head. Aroma of pine, mandarin, somewhat earthy berries, glacé pineapple. Moderately sweet but more savoury flavours are to the fore with the fruit providing complexity. Nice finish is bitter with pine and pepper. Very good.

Can. Hazy orange, a fluffy cm of white head. Aroma of oranges, grass, some tropical notes. Bready and slightly creamy, there's just enough sweetness to support the grassy and slightly herbal as well as fruity hops. Herbal notes linger at the fairly bitter finish.

Can, bb 6/26. Just unclear pale amber with a cm of white head. Shyish aroma of lime, honeydew melon, light bread. Better defined fruit upon a taste, with quite lean malts bringing some tropical notes forward as well as the lime and melon. Moderate bitterness snaps enough. Not one of their more distinctive beers but fine.

Since 2012, some years very good, some great. Needs to be very fresh. Can. Very dark brown, a 1/2cm beige head. Aroma of oranges, passionfruit, some nectarine, brioche, flowers. Barely medium bodied. Gently plump briocheish malt with some mocha. Fresh tropical and lightly resinous flavours lead to a long, gently bitter end. Stunningly good.

Bottle. Very black with a fluffy light tan head that fades from an inch to a cm. Aroma of heavy roast, blackberries, pine. Usually worth waiting a little while with these - they soften a tad and flavours integrate a bit more. This is softly doughy but still roasty, piney and bitter but dark fruit and sugars have room to move. I've liked the recent years when it's been a bit lower in alcohol but this works well too - it doesn't seem overbearing and there's no unintegrated booze. I may drink the other glass tonight. About 13C which was just right.

Can. Misted gold, loose cm of white head. Bright citrus aroma with some guava, leafy herbs, gentle pine, light bread. Light bodied, dryish. Some dried mandarin, grapefruit - you _would_ guess it's part "hop product" but it's nice enough. Hints of liquorice, a waft of resin at the modestly bitter finish. Interesting, pretty good.

Can. Just unclear amber with a 2cm white head that fades. 6+ Grapefruit and what I would have guessed as plum, light bread and some lolly-like tropical fruit. Quite sweet with cranberry joining tropical notes and just crowding the nice citrus a tad. Bitterness is moderate. Expected this to be a bit sharp but no. Fair enough though.

Can, from their Advent box. Gold, a good cm of white head fades to a coat . Aroma is a little boozy with apricots, banana, dough and spices. Full bodied, carbonation could be a little higher. Quite sweet with fruit and dough, bitter end with coriander, cloves & white pepper. Like the finish.

Can. Misted gold, 2cm white head. Aroma of lime zest, crackers, lychees. Fairly dry, not trying to be too clean. Fruit is cleaned up by snappy peppery bitterness. Refreshing, modern but not too modern.

Can. Clear orange amber with a loose white head. Aroma of somewhat doughy bread, very light spices. Lightish bodied with hints of bready richness, modest bitterness. Pleasant enough but lacks oomph.
