Can, huge thanks Fin and Loz for sharing it with the rest of us! Hazy yellow-orange body, off-white head. Some mango and citric notes in the sweetish aroma. Smooth, lean, dry taste, bit tropical, lightly peachy, not much bitterness, ending lightly herbal, vaguely vegetal and without bitterness. Pretty drinkable!

Can - a really cute one. Murky golden. Stonefruit, peach, melon, grainy. Fizzy, dry sweetness, with melon, and an icecream sticky aftertaste.

Can - lightly hazy gold - moderate lace - dry and assertively bitter, with a light lemon character through the middle - oak from the foeder is quite present, particularly on the back end - creamy texture - dry, bitter finish - enjoyable.

Batch 3. Poured a mostly clear, slightly hazy amber color with a small off-white head. Aroma was light sour tartness, light sweet malts. Pleasant honey, acidic.
