Pours with a light brown body and a head that disappears quickly. Aromas of nuts, chocolate, wood and a little caramel. It's quite thin bodied with a tangy citrus note (mostly lemon) that overwhelms the malty notes that were so present in the aroma.

Can. Golden amber with a white head. Aroma of mandarin, lemon, light biscuit, hints of pine needles. Dryish with loads of citrus, just about enough light breadcrust, decent bitterness. Refreshing, perhaps a little empty in the middle.

Can. Brown with an off white head that fades. Brown bread aroma with a little roast and some prunes, light spices. A tad fizzy. Perhaps a bit of brown sugar and coffee in the taste too. Not all that sweet with moderate spiced bitterness. Agreeable quaffer.

Can. Amber with a cm of white head that's soon a coat. Aroma of orange peel, bread, some herbal and pine notes. Quite savoury flavours with citrus and herbs well integrated before firm bitterness. Good and a bit different from many things around at the moment.

Can. Cloudy amber with a cm of white head. Aroma of breadcrust, weeds, some grapefruit. A little breadcrust sweetness. Light bodied. Some stone fruit but citrus gets a bit lost.The bitter finish is weedy and spicy. Refreshing.
