Keg @ Tap and Can. Misty yellow pour, small white head. Floral nose, bitter thin grapefruit with a dry floral finish. Not winning me over I'm afraid.

500ml can. Hazy golden, white head. Aroma of citrus fruits and berries, pine, malts. Taste is fruity, citrus, mandarin, grapefruit, berries, ripe tropical fruits, mango, papaya, boiled sweets, pine, sweet malts. Full bodied, a little boozy. Noticeably sweeter than the pale ale version, hoppier too as you'd expect.

Cloudy yellow gold with a small bubbly white head and a tropical fruit aroma. Cold as the Arctic, light bodied, pineapple and grapefruit flavours rise above the light malt with a slightly bitter dry finish

500ml can. Hazy pale yellow, white head. Aroma of clementine, lemon. Taste dominated by tart clementine and lemon, a little sweet vanilla, not sure I get any jasmine - no noticeable floral element to it, sour, salty, fizzy. Really nice Gose.

500ml can. Pours a deep ruby red, thin pink head. Aroma of Ribena with peaches. Taste of blackcurrant, peaches, quite sweet but also very tart, sour. Not sure the hops do much here. Decent fruited sour.

500ml can. Hazy pink, thin white head. Aroma of pineapple, redcurrant. Taste is very tart, loads of pineapple, juicy redcurrants, lemon and lime, decent sourness. As the bearded one below suggests, there's little to no obvious hoppiness here - it's basically a fruited sour. A very nice one though! Sidenote: brewery calling the flavour profile explored is peak pretentiousness.
