From a 500ml can on 20/9/2020. Pours a murky light golden with a medium head which disappears quickly. The nose is citrussy and a touch dank and spicy. On the sip, it exhibits nice balance - lots of tropical fruit (very juicy), but with a nice firm countering bitterness - again spicy, with just a barest hint of hop burn (which doesn't detract from the overall experience).The oats make the mouthfeel slightly creamy, and the carbonation is moderate. Very nice stuff.

Can. Looks like orange juice. Smells like passionfruit juice. There's mango there toom plus some deep deep dank. The mouthfeel is spot on, and the burn hangs on for minutes after each sup. Super stuff.

The can reminds me of arriving in Australia and being picked up from the airport by my Dad wearing a beige safari suit and driving an orange Torana. Yellowish orange with a rapidly vanishing white head. 3- Aroma of tropical orange drink with some zesty notes above. Really very fruit juice-like (albeit not very sweet) before a decisive turn towards bitterness at the end. A bit pineapple astringent there too. Behind the nice hops is nothing.

500ml can, packaged two weeks ago (July 23, 2020). Colour of grapefruit juice. Mandarin nose. Very citrusy. A bit pillowy. Wafts of bitterness in the aftertaste. Not the best Banks, but still quality.

Can - three weeks since package date. Opage and orange with healthy almost creamy head. Enormous bubblegum and berry nose. Chewy. The flavours just keep coming and coming... tropical fruit, wet grass dank, that blueberry again. So bloody impressive.

Can. Opaque yellow with a brief raft of bubbles. 3- Powerful tropical and citrus fruit aroma - inter alia mango, passionfruit, pineapple, lime, Meyer lemon, kumquat, guava, some herbal notes. Thinner than guessed (my can doesn't actually claim to be chalky) with not enough richness in the malt to prevent a narrowing of the hop aromatics to the toppier and more astringent of them. Moderate bitterness, some raw/ burning sensation at the end - but on this occasion I can see that's a trade you might be willing to make for that fruit.

(Can) Pours clear pink amber with a transient white head. Pleasant interesting aroma of tangy fruit, vanilla and coconut. Medium body with bright carbonation. Great tasting sour beer. It’s sour but rich and complex and balanced. There’s sour beer and mixed berry tang at the start. Coconut and some subtle sweetness come through in the mid palate. The alcohol is not apparent. Unusual, and very drinkable.
