Their Advent box. Hazy amber with a loose white head. Fruity aroma with berries, citrus, peach, weeds.Upon a taste it's a little earthy too. Refreshing. A bit softer than Coopers Red and less bitter, but it rhymes.

Advent box. I guess this one explains why the secret collaboration series was a 5 pack. I guess what made it special made it dangerous. Slightly unclear amber with a good cm of white head. Wholesome classic APA aroma of grapefruit, weeds, mango skin, crusty bread, pine. Light bodied but with enough caramel so it doesn't seem thin. Citrus and particularly tropical flavours get a bit rapidly overtaken by firm weedy and piny bitterness. Very good.

Advent Box. Gold with a good cm of white head. Aroma of mango, crackers, mandarin, pine needles. Pretty dry (a _little_ drier than the secret collaboration WC Pils?) leaving the tropical notes without a lot to sit on - but that makes it seem a little more like a pilsner, as does the fact that the pine is pretty needle-y & peppery. Refreshing.

Pours dark brown with a small head.Nose shows intense chocolate along with nutty and biscuity malt.Flavours include lots of chocolate, soft roasted malt, nutty notes. Good balance without as much sweetness as the aroma would suggest.

Bottle. Black with a good cm of light tan head. Aroma of brioche, nectarine, pine, citrus, mocha. Full bodied, smooth, moderate carbonation. Bittersweet with the hop aromatics and bitterness maybe jostling in a bit early. But the flavours are complementary.

This one is said to be a collaboration with Range. Misted yellowish orange with a frothy white head. Tropical, berry & pine kindling aroma - not as heavy as Mosaic usually is. Some coconut too. Light bread and biscuit, hints of herbs. But the lovely aromatics seem a bit unstructured upon a taste with neither plain clean malt nor some predominant theme of the hops providing direction.

This one is said to be with Found (a WA Brewpub yet to arrive on RB). Can. Light amber w a cm of white head. Aroma of pulpy mango, breadcrust, peach, hints of pine. Tastes sweet - as it smelled - but gradually somewhat peppery pine and medium bitterness reel it in to achieve a good balance. Bitterness creeps up after a while.

Can. Dark brown with a fading cm of beige head. Aroma of fresh bread, liquorice, some roasted malt. Some mocha comes through in the taste too, which manages to be rich enough without being really sweet at all. Bitterness seems modest at first but builds a bit. Good.

Can. Clear amber with a good cm of white head that never quite gives up. Intriguing hoppy aroma with tropical fruit, pine and other wood, kumquats, breadcrust. Bittersweet taste - but mostly bitter, with crusty bread and some tenor register tropical flavours giving way to firm resin and strong bitterness. Yum. The collaborating brewery (not mentioned on the can) is said by Carwyn to be Deep South - yet to appear here.
