From a 375ml can on 30/1/2026. Pours a hazy golden with a smallish head. The nose is lightly fruit, with mainly tropical notes. Tastes of both tropical and citrus fruit with a good dash of white grape, leading to a lightly spicy bitterness. As savoury as it is sweet. Silky mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. A nicely done little hazy.

Can. Unclear dark brown with a beige head. Aroma of mocha, brioche, peach. That having suggested softness it's more pointedly bitter than expected with grapefruit cutting through toast and mocha. Don't quite know what to make of this one.

Can. Cloudy pale orange with a white head. Shyish lemon fluff aroma with crackers, some nectarine and pineapple. Light bodied, somewhat of an Eno feel feel. Fairly dry with citrus and some pibnapple beofre a modestly bitter finish. Refreshing.

(Can) Pours hazy red with no head. Aroma is raspberries, slightly jammy. Medium body with bright carbonation. Taste is sour, but not overly so. There’s plenty of raspberry taste. A little one dimensional, but if you like raspberries and sour beers, it’s good.

(Can) Pours hazy golden with good white head. Lovely fruity aroma - stone fruit and tropical - with pine notes. Medium body with excellent carbonation. Good taste too. There’s earthy peppery spicy hops from start to finish. These are paired in the start with some lovely juicy fruity flavours. Some sweet notes in the mid palate. And there’s a good bitter finish. Very good.

(Can) Pours hazy amber with small white head. Good aroma. Orange citrus, tropical fruit, pine. Medium body with modest fine carbonation. Good taste. Plenty of hops. There’s a nice caramel malt backbone. There’s good tangy fruity flavours up front - orange and tropical fruit. And then there is a nice layer of dank herbal hoppy bitterness, albeit nicely restrained. Very nice.

(Can) Pours hazy golden amber with no head. Pleasant yeasty aroma with hints of clove and orange. Light body with bright carbonation. Taste is a pleasant mix of citrus / orange tartness, clove and pepper spice, with bready notes. Pleasant, refreshing and easy drinking.

(Can) Pours clear amber with small white head. Great aroma of citrus, mainly grapefruit, with notes of pine. Light body and well carbonated. Tangy and fruity with some herbal hops coming in towards the end and continuing through to a gentle bitter finish. Some caramel malt in the background. Some other light fruity notes, maybe green grapes, in the mid plate. Very drinkable

(Can) Pours opaque golden amber with small white head. Intense and pleasant aroma of pine and citrus / grapefruit. Smooth medium body with plenty of bright carbonation. Herbal hoppy bitterness throughout the palate, intensifying from a gentle start to a solid bitter finish. Pleasant citrus from the start, dropping off steadily. Good hoppy IPA.
