Can. Cloudy pale orange with a cm of white head. Oozing citrus - orange and grapefruit - and tropical fruit aroma. Barely medium bodied. Unobtrusive but rich enough light biscuit under the hops. A little bit sherbety with mandarin, grapefruit, mango skin. Clean with a dryish moderately bitter finish. Fine but a bit anonymous - but arguably that's the sub-style.

Can, 11C. Black with a large tan head that settles to an inch. Contra the name, the aroma is dominated by coffee - medium roast with berries. There’s chocolate, roast and cream too. Very smooth- you can feel lactose but not taste it (tick). Fairly sweet and now the chocolate is to the fore with coffee and roast keeping things in shape. No overt alcohol although you can feel it creeping up at the finish. Delivers.

Can. Gold with a 2cm white head that lasts as a coat. 3+ Mixed pithy citrus aroma with light bread, hints of stone and tropical fruit, flowers. Fairly light bodied with even less malt support than suggested by the aroma. The hops waft rather than bite though, so it all works out. Snappy and bitter finish. Yep.

500ml can - not the 440mls other brewers are trying it on with. Dark brown with a modest beige head. Aroma of mocha, slight roast, oozing citrus, nectarine, hints of pine and licorice. Just medium bodied, moderate carbonation. Dryish but with some coffee, caramel and roast before gentle but insistent citrus and bitterness. Good. It's too late to revive the argument that these are just porters, right?

Can. Black with a tan head that's soon at the rim. Aroma of mocha, some toffee, roast, grass. Smooth. Bittersweet with coffee, roast, dark chocolate. Quite bitter at the end - coffee, hop & roast. Plenty of presence for the ABV.

A new release that's also a timeless classic, huh. Can. Amber with a cm of white head. Aroma of mango skin, breadcrust, weeds, vague citrus. Lightish bodied, medium low carbonation. Fairly clean with just enough breadcrust to support the hops. Tropical flavours don't come through so much but the citrus is more clearly grapefruit and pine comes in at the fairly bitter end. Like their old pale ale but much better.

From a 440ml can on 18/1/2023. Pours a murky golden with a smallish head. Smells of cirtus, mango and white grape. All those present in spades on the sip. God I love Nelson Sauvin. Finishing with a lightly tangy, slightly spicy bitterness. Silky mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. Excellent stuff
