From a 500ml can on 15/5/2024. Pours a hazy light golden with a medium head. Has a pleasant tropical fruit nose. Tastes of passionfruit and pineapple with hints of mango and grape. Moderately sweet, finishing with a really nice, firmish, lightly spicy bitterness with some lime notes. Silky mouthfeel with moderate to average carbonation. Excellent.

A well-made, very smooth IPA which just lacks a true point of difference. Aromas of pine, grapefruit and mango. A balanced mouthfeel with a little caramel as well.

Can. Misted yellow gold with a good cm of fluffy white head that doesn't last. Shyish aroma of Meyer lemon peel, honeyed hay, hints of peach and pine. Taste is like that but a tad more forthright. Modest bitterness. Pedestrian but OK.

Can. Sludgy brownish yellow with a modest white head. 3- Aroma of ornage, lemon, citrus leaves, herbs, papaya, pineapple, light bread. Full of citrus, tropical and herbal notes - using Citra as a single hop is almost cheating really, there's so much going on. Fine but intense carbonation. A gently humming menthol hop singe marks the finish more than does bitterness. Not totally my sort of thing but pretty compelling.

Can. Pretty much clear gold with a fluffy 2cm white head. Floaty citrus aroma with hints of biscuit, mango, herbs. Sweet and heavier than expected with bread and biscuit, tropical fruit and then citrus that struggles to ease though before a fairly bitter finish. Good.

They do like a seagull in Franga. Can. Misted pale gold with a white head. Aroma of citrus rind - lemon, not very vibrant grapefruit - some herbs, crackers. More expressive upon a taste, with some berries and green tropical fruit atop richer malt than suggested by the aroma. Moderate bitterness with lingering almost sour citrus.

Aromas of coffee, toffee, chocolate and biscuit. Can taste the oats in the mouth a little, with some citrus notes as well. Very nice stout.

Can. Misty gold with a 2cm white head that lasts OK. Fabulous citrus aroma of kumquat, herbal lemon, sherbet, mandarin. Medium sweet with building bitternes and some resin towards the end. Some tropical fruit amongst the citrus.

Can. Gold with a good inch of white head. Shyish aroma is grainy with light bread and herbal hops. Modestly sweet with a lovely, very clean lager palate before a snappy herbal bitter finish. Weaker aroma than normal Foam but a very nice finish.
