Can. Near clear deep amber beer, 2 inches of bubbly pale tan head! Airy palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Fluffy creamy malts, a modest dark character presents via a touch of sweet dark chocolate. Belma hops deliver light cooling pine into slightly ripe but juicy berries, especially strawberries and raspberries. Airy finish. A slightly sweet dark lager but with intriguing and complimentary flavours. An enchanting brew.

500ml can taken away from Beerfly, Bedford. Light yellow, hazy with a fluffy little head and special bit of lacing. Grapefruit, gooseberry, vanilla, apricot. Sweet taste, very hop-driven. More grapefruit, stone fruits and a touch of mint. Just a little orangey bitterness in the finish. Smooth, light body, soft to medium carbonation. Really dig this.

Hazy amber beer, thin white head. Zesty, hoppy smell to this with some grassy and pine. Flavour has bittersweet lemon, grassy hop, pine again, a little peppery spice. Airy and crisp but pretty tasty.

Hazy gold with a white head, zesty and hoppy aroma. Flavour has some grassy hop, grapefruit, citrus zest, maybe a hint of coconut. Fruity and tasty.

Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 22/12/24. As good as clear golden orange topped with a just off white head. Nose is orange zest, grass, ripe melon, pineapple, toasted malts. Taste comprises orange pith, grass, melon, mandarin, guava, papaya. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close semi drying close splashed with juicy come lightly resinous hop bitterness. Decent enough offering.

Can. A mild to medium haze on this yellowish gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is light and mildly dry, a good fine minerally crispness. Light malts, very light, but a decent creamy sweetness is assuredly delivered. Light crisp pine into a light but pleasing citrus and tropical fruit combo. Light bright sunny citrus and light bright stone fruits with a touch of mango. Rakau? I can't tell but it doesn't matter, what is here is satisfying. Another light and satisfyingly hopped IPA from Baron.

Can. A light haze on this yellowish gold beer, small and short lived pale cream colour head. Light and smooth start to the palate, a very mild dryness, decent fine minerally carbonation coming through on the back end. Light malts, not thin but, notably light. Citra and Nelson deliver light bright citrus with a pretty modest but, at least detectable winey grape on the back end. The two hops combine particularly well here. A overarching light crisp pine. Nice, goes down very easy.
