Can from Beer52. Enjoyable, pleasant refreshing pale ale. Good for the weather we have been having in the UK. Look: Clear amber with small white head which thins out quite quickly. Nose: grapefruit, citrus peel, light floral earthiness and some spice; decent freshness to it. Taste: Has a mellow fruitiness with orange and grapefruit notes, some maltiness, semi-drying finish with a nice spiciness. Quite mild in the bitterness for a West Coast style. Palate: light to medium bodied, nice fine carbonation. Has a refreshing quality without being too light.

Can from Honest Brew. A murky looking amber with moderate off-white head, nice retention. Aroma of apricot, mango, doughy malts, slightly herbal, pineapple. The big notes I found in the taste are mango, herbs, yeast and doughy malts but also some pine resin, pineapple, and light spice, minor sourness in the finish with a moderate bitter kick. Medium bodied and soft carbonation works well. A little bit yeasty and dough noted but there is quite a bit going on here. I like it.

Can from lowcostbeer, consumed 2 months past BBE. Look: pours a hazy orange-gold, small white head Nose: Dank cannabis aroma with citrus and pine. Taste: dank, weedy, slightly medicinal, lime, passionfruit, resin, pine bitterness. I don't mind a slight dankness in my IPAs but a full on version is not my thing although there is a nice level of complexity here. Palate: Smooth medium body, quite a zingy carbonation.

Can from lowcostbeer @ 8%, consumed 6 weeks past BBE. Pours a hazy orange, with small white head. Tropical aroma with mango being most prominent, some pineapple chunks, slight medicinal note. Taste is very juicy and pithy with tropical fruit and orange, some pine and slight medicinal note although less notable compared to aroma. Quite sweet with a decent bitterness to offset with a tangy finish. Lovely smooth, medium to full bodied, soft tingly catrbonation. Very nice. Best of the 8 boundary beers I have had to date.

440ml can @ 6% from Beer52 as part of Cyberfest. Hazy orange-gold, small white head. Aroma of juicy orange, grape, malts, slight touch of pine resin. Taste is quite sharp and mild sour with citrus notes but with a malty almost grainy background with a pine like resin. Bittersweet tangy finish. Body is medium and creamy to chewy on the palate, fine carbonation. Very much a citrus led IPA but some good beer elements throughout.

440ml can at 9.3%. Pours black with tanned fizzy head, circular retention. Aroma of roasted and sweet malts, chocolate, cream, some light ash. Taste is bitter roast, dark chocolate, cream, some lighter berry notes, less sweetness than the aroma suggested, quite dry with slight ash notes. Medium to full body smooth, a touch clingy on the palate, soft carbonation, a nice alcohol warmth going down. I like it.

440ml can from Honest Brew. Cloudy orange-gold colour, moderate sized white head, leaves a lovely consistent top with lacing. Aroma is grains, yeast, lemon, bread. Taste is very sharp citric to the point of sourness. A very serious situation occurred during brewing. Bread, yeast and floral notes also present. I got used to the sharp citric element after a while but is a little overdone, intentional or not. I still found it perfectly drinkable but wont be getting another!
