From a 500ml can on 14/9/2022. Pours a hazy golden with a smallish head. Has quite a strong sharp citrussy nose. The taste follows suit, with sweet orange and mandarin, with maybe a bit of nectarine. The Froot Loops? Not so sure I get those. Finishes decently bitter - tangy and just a touch herbal. Silky mouthfeel with average carbonation. Quite bold, interesting and enjoyable.

From a 500ml can on 3/9/20022 (shared by Butz with thanks). Pours a clear teddy amber with a medium head. Smells malty with some herbal and fruity notes. Has some toffee and caramel malt notes and some dark and dried fruits. Quite hoppy, with a lingering bitterness. Chewy mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. Nice.

Can. Lurid pale orange with a loosish white head. Aroma of floral and spicy hops, some grain, light breadcrust. A bit of body and sweetness, carbonation is on the low end for this sort of thing (but fine). A bit of lusciousness from the malt side of things then firmish bitterness with some floral and spicy notes. Pretty good, could have been a little hoppier. Very drinkable.

From a 500ml can on 12/7/2022. Pours a dark dirty golden with a smallish head. Has a strong citrus and berry nose. Tastes sweet with both sweet and slightly tart berries prominent. Has a mildly tart and tangy finish. Creamy palate with moderate to average carbonation. Certainly interesting but not quite a home run.

Can, bb 12/22. Clear amber with a modest white head that fades fast. Aroma of sticky breadcrust, some earthy and pear notes that don't belong, floral and spicy ones that do. More convincing taste - slight toasty sweetness, a good smack of spices and bitterness at the end.

(Can) Pours opaque golden amber with good white head - great looking beer. Nice fruity aroma - passionfruit, pineapple, orange - and pine. Full bodied with good fine carbonation. Pleasant taste with lots of fruit, like the aroma, up front and developing some pleasant bitterness later in the palate. Very enjoyable.

Can. Almost black with a 2cm tan head. Aroma of chocolate, roast, vanilla, some white pepper. Not all that sweet with less chocolate and more roast than suggested by the aroma. Good vanilla. A slight hardness to the texture I didn't love but is rather icecream-like. Could've been called The Whitlams' stout but I guess that would have been defeatist. Pretty good though (& good value).

From a 500ml can on 2/5/2022. Pours a slightly cloudy golden with a smallish head. Has a light tropical and stone fruit nose. Features peach and passionfruit up front, finishing with a sharp lightly spicy finish. Medium bodied with moderate to average carbonation. Very solid.
