Big creamy aroma, plus passionfruit and pine. Slightly less full bodied than i'd expect but the flavours are lovely.

From a 500ml can on 30/12/2021. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a medium head. Has a modest light spicy nose. taste wise, there's some light passionfruit, apricot and melon, which is met by strange and quite assertive bitterness featuring mint, spice and some plain old salt. The mouthfeel is slightly creamy, the carbonation moderate. Not sure how much Strata I've had, but I'm not liking it in this at all. Finishes slightly astringent and unpleasant. Unusual to get a dud from this brewer. Really disappointing.

Can. Black with a tan head. Aroma of mocha, vanilla brioche, roast, whiskey, almonds. Sweet with whiskey more prominent than stout until a fairly bitter as well as boozy finish. More spirit and less beer than I prefer, but good.

(Can) Pours murky, lumpy amber brown with small white head. Big aroma of orange, mandarin and pine. Full smooth body with fine carbonation. Plenty of orange from start well into palate. Hoppy bitterness develops through the palate. There’s a creaminess in the background which adds an extra dimension but I am not sure it quite works. Unusual and enjoyable.

Can, Oasis. Gold, a white head fades slowly from 3/2 inches. Aroma of hay, a touch of bread, flowers, a hint of lemon. Scrupulously clean. Only a brief wave at richness, snappy finish is nicely bitter and is floral and slightly spicy. Pretty good but not very exciting.

Aromas of passionfruit, grapefruit, honey and a tiny bit of spearmint. Well balanced in the mouth with some melon and quite a minty pine finish. A good feels but not their best.

From a 500ml can on 3/12/2021. Pours a hazy golden with a medium head. Has aquite a strong citrus zest and tropical fruit nose. Tastes quite tropical, medium sweet and has a light zesty finish. but lacks a bit of definition. Has a silky mouthfeel and average carbonation. Drinkable enough but this brewer does much better stuff.

Smells like an Arnott's orange slice - orange, cream and biscuit. It's too sweet for my liking, and the fruit and cream aren't a great combo here. There's also an aspirin aftertaste. Really not my bag. In fact, I couldn't finish it.

From a 500ml can on 20/11/2021. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a medium head. Smells of orange and peach with some light berry notes. Rinse and repeat with the flavour - a distinct sweet orange tang, some peach with a touch of berry tartness at the back. Has a creamy and pillowy mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. Easy drinking and excellent.
