Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers! Aroma of piney, malty, orange and citrus. A drying, bitter finish. Slightly watery. Not bad.

Can from lowcostbeer.com, 1 month in date. Hazy orange-gold with nice looking small white head. Aroma of sour fruit, citrus zest and the Vienna malt comes through; not sure about this. Needn't have worried its fairly tasty. Tartness is there with lemon and tropical notes, a touch malty and dry in the finish. There is a possibility there was a slight bacterial infection in the mix as I recall similar sour characteristics in another beer that was virtually undrinkable. In this case its far more muted and arguably character inducing. However apart from the sourness, fruity element and interesting malt there is a lack of hop complexity you would expect in a modern IPA. A bit disappointing, a below average IPA but an ok beer.

440ml can. Clear light amber with small off-white head. Grapefruit and malt aroma with lighter notes of citrus peel, toffee, dust. Taste is bitter, reasonable fruitiness with a citrus tangy edge, quite malt driven. Slightly above light bodied but has a nice resinous slickness by the end. Its decent enough.

Can from lowcostbeer, canned Sep-21, BBE Sep-22, consumed Mar-22. Dark brown pour with moderate sized beige head. Blackcurrant on the nose with roasted malts, liquorice, jam, nuts. Taste is nice a fruity with the blackcurrant, slightly jammy, liquorice, roast, tasty cough sweet feel to it. Modest bitterness in the finish. Near medium bodied, carbonation moves flavour well around palate. Tasty fruit stout.

Can from lowcostbeer, canned Sep-21, BBE Sep-22, consumed Mar-22. Light hazy gold with small white head. Quite an intense pot pourri aroma with hints of lime and spice; not sure I like it. Taste has been infused with something other than hops but I cant quite put my finger on it. Very soapy and artificial although a softer fruity finish. This combined with a refreshing body and carbonation saves it from being a disaster. Not good as a beer but understand originally was brewed for a good cause.

Can from lowcostbeer, BBE Jul-22, consumed Mar-22. Pours a hazy orange-gold with moderate sized foamy white head. Aroma of citrus, peach, light pine and vegetation. Taste as a softer fruitiness than expected with grapefruit and peach, some zestiness and quite piney and dry in the finish. Medium bodied, soft carbonation. Good stuff.
