Wasn't this bloke a bit of a goitre? Perhaps I have the wrong fellow. Anyway. Can. Clear brown with a good cm of pale beige head. Aroma of sweet coffee, nuts, gentle roast. Moderately sweet. More coffee that anything else but some nuts come though at the fairly bitter end.

From a 440ml can on 22/1/2025. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a medium head. The nose is dominated by candied fruit. It's a sweet one with peach, pineapple and passionfruit coming to the fore. I don't really get the citrus of guava mentioned in the blurb. Has a very slight but reasonably tangy bitter finish. Silky mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. Extremely quaffable for almost 9 per cent, and undeniably pleasant drinking, though fairly basic and a bit lacking in heft and character for the size.

Can. Clear amber with a 2cm white head. Subdued crusty bread and grassy aroma. Then bread, caramel, weeds and a touch of overt alcohol. Medium sweet with a biting bitterness. Not really my sort of thing.

2024 version is 5.8%. Can. Deep gold with an inch of white head. Aroma of light biscuity dough, some floral and spicy notes. Quite rich but a little less malty than their Modisch Märzen with a distinct but still sidekick-level hoppiness.

From a 440ml can on 28/8/2024. Pours a clear amber with smallish head. The nose is lightly malty with light caramel with a dash of citrus. Tastes of caramel, nuts and orange with an earthy finish featuring some firmish pine/resin bitterness that lingers lightly. medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Nicely balanced and very satisfying.

Delicious hazy with aromas of passionfruit, mango and pine. Lovely mouthfeel, good length. A beauty.

From a 355ml can on 9/5/2024. Pours a deepish amber with a small to medium head. Smells lightly malty - caramel and toffee - followed by a touch of pine. Nice and chewy on the sip with more caramel and toffee, with some dried fruit and nuts in the mix. Finishes with a firm pine/resin hoppiness. Full bodied with moderate to average carbonation. The dark IPA is currently a too neglected style imho.

From a 355ml can on 25/2/2024. Pours a hazy golden with a smallish head. Has a pleasant citrus and tropical fruit nose. The sip brings you punchy citrus, some passionfruit and white grape, with a nice countering balance as the back. Has a silky mouthfeel with average carbonation. Bold, balanced and very tasty. Excellent.
