500ml Can. Pours golden and hazy. Pineapple, coconut nose with some resin. Creamy mouth. This is a real party, with all those nose and more. Very hard to fault with the booze not even apparent. A beer could I could happily spend the rest of my days in.

Pours black with a large tan head.Nose shows heavy cocoa, vanilla, nutty notes, caramel along with soft warm spicy notes.Flavours include more vanilla and heavy sweet chocolate, a lot of lactose sweetness, some pecan notes. Balanced out by the roasted malt but the sweetness definitely prevails.

Can. Opaque brownish yellow, doesn't hold a head. Looks like snot. Real appearance score held in abeyance. Aroma of under-ripe tropical fruit, crackers, Asian herbs, peach, wintery oranges. There's a slight soupy/ chalkiness to the texture but it doesn't stop the fruit and herbal notes punching through and it feels more juicy than anything else. There's not much bitterness but modest astringency that finishes like a typewriter bell. Ugly but delicious.

Can (Quarantinnies). Bright yellow and fully opaque (think Mango juice). Big stonefruit and citrus aromas. Very chewy, almost chalky. Flavours aren't as momentuous as expected. The chalkiness is more to the fore than it should be. I wanted some lingering bitterness, but it fell a tiny bit short. Still very good, but not spectacular.

500ml can. Pours dark brown. Nutty vanilla nose. Super creamy in mouth. Luscious chocolate and roasted nut with loads of vanilla. Definitely a dessert in a glass... and delicious. Perfect Easter entree.

500ml can. Opaque yellow (think cloudy pineapple juice). Pineapple and orange nose. Super juicy, almost chlaky mouthfeel. Pineapple abounds. Nice little throat tickle of bitterness. Perhaps the best beer yet from some very, very capable brewers.

From a 355ml can on 25/2/2020. Pours a clear light golden with a small to medium head. Has a sharp citrus nose, with lots of lime in the mix. Tastes very citrussy and tangy (more lime and a fair bit of lemon), with bugger all malt presenting. Has a sharpish, medium bitterness with just a hint of resin. Not at all typically WC IPA for mine. Medium bodied with average carbonation. This brewer is the subject of a fair bit of hype at the moment, but this one left a bit underwhelmed. Not awful but not great, and decidedly odd.

A very dry hazy IPA featuring notes of pineapple, passionfruit, orange peel, apricot and biscuit. Really nice, but that finish is so dry that I'm left in desperate need of water. It's a little salty too. A good start, a disappoining finish. Lacks a bit of body as well.

This is some good gear. There's something for everyone, but it's all tied together beautifully. Passionfruit, honey, grapefruit, pine and toast. I wish I had a barrell of the stuff.
