Can. Misted pale gold with a cm of white head. Vibrant candied citrus aroma with dried tropical fruit, crackers, pine. Light bodied, just enough sweetness. Clean with crackers and tropical fruit before citrus and then light pine and medium high bitterness. Good.

Can. Cloudy orange amber with a good inch of white head. Aroma of kumquat, grapefruit, some mandarin and papaya, peppery pine, bread. Much more grapefruit upon a taste. Fairly light bodied, moderately sweet and a little sherbety with peppery pine and firm bitterness at the end. Not trying to be elegant. Continues a good run of hoppy beers.

Made with coconut, but it's passionfruit that dominates the aroma plus orange peel, grapefruit and coconut. It's got a sharp bitterness underneath that pillowy tropical bomb that's just perfect in the mouth. I could keep sipping this one all night.

Can. Unclear amber, a good cm of white head. Aroma of grapefruit, pine, crusty bread, some mango skin. More tropical upon a taste and a little sherbety too with softer citrus and pine that sits back a little before modern WCIPA medium high bitterness. Classy

From a 500ml can on 1/7/2026. Unique rating number 4000! Pours a cloudy dirty golden with a medium head. The aroma features punchy citrus and light tropical fruit notes. Very heavy citrus wise on the sip - sweet, sharp orange dominating up front, with hints of mango and white grape in the background. Finishes with a very tangy, firmish bitterness with citrus rind lingering in the background. Has a lightly creamy mouthfeel and average carbonation. Bold but very cohesive. Just really nicely put together.

Can. Black with a tan cm of head thatβs soon a coat. Roast and coffee aroma with some earthy spices. Dryish and pretty roasty with coffee and only hints of chocolate. Bitterness is more roasted than hop but there are some earthy spices too. Very drinkable.

We must be running out of pop culture references - this one nods at a TV ad for reduced fat milk for fat old blokes. Can. Black with a tan coat. Roasty aroma with caramel, some mocha. Low carbonation. Firm roast, bitter coffee, some liquorice. Not a heap of lactose and it needs it really to balance the roasted bitterness.

Can. Fairly hazy orange with a cm of white head that lasts well. Aroma of Meyer lemon pith, crackery bread, papaya, some pine. Upon a swig, some under-ripe tropical notes are there too. The malt is rich enough to support but that's about it; the hop flavours are quite complex. Medium bitterness. Good.

Aromas of grapefruit, mango, orange peel and passionfruit. The mango lays down a thick slick on the roof of the mouth, while the grapefruit rips across the tongue. It's all very well made, but there's something about this clash of flavours that doesn't quite nail it.

Tap. Pale amber with a lasting white head. Aroma of citrus, white grapes, dope. Sweet with rather anonymous malt, nice hops - NS is a very pushy hop - firm bitterness. Pretty good.
