Can. Clear copper, off white head. Strong but not vibrant citrus, peach, pine with hints of buttermenthol, blackberries. Just short of syrupy with low carbonation. Sweet but it dries out with fairly resinous and strong bitterness and a bit of alcohol. From the seething rather than than the vibrant end of big hoppy beers, and not quite my thing.

Can. Opaque straw-coloured with a white head that fades quickly. Aroma of nectarines, mangos, yeasty buns. Lightish bodied, carbonation is perhaps a bit too low. Cleaner than it smelled with lots of fruit - some citrus as well as the nectarines and mango. Bitterness is moderate but enough. Good.

Can. Nearly black with a light tan head. Aroma suggests it will be sweet and has caramel, coconut, mocha, a slight earthiness. Very smooth texture. Not as sweet as expected with roasted malt and bitter chocolate pushing the coconut into being a supporting player. Moderate bitterness at the end. Wouldn't have guessed it as strong as 7% ABV. Well put together.
