Can. Pale amber with a fast fading white head. Aroma of grapefruit, some crackers, caramelised apples. Moderately tart - think Chinotto - with citrus there but not dominating. Really refreshing. A good 'afternoon in the sun' sort of a beer.

Can. Opaque orange with a cm of white head. Gentle lime and tropical fruit aroma with some peach, grass and herbs. Thick, vague texture - a bit cotton wool-like. Sweet with lots of fruit, herbal astringency builds with some bitterness towards the end. The problem with their approach is consumer heterogeneity - I like some hazies but often dislike the ones most loved by hazy aficionados.

Can. Cloudy orangish amber, large white head. Aroma of herbal orange and lemon, crackers, some peach. More bread than crackers upon a taste. More orange than lemon, maybe more spice than herb - although perhaps that's suggestion. Fairly bitter finish. Seems strong for what it offers.

Can. Unclear amber with a good cm of white head. Aroma of oranges, spiced bread, gentle herbal lemon. Swelling crusty bread sweetness with a little warmth, rumbling spices. Lifted by citrus. Slightly muffled but in the end firm bitterness.

(Can) Pours black with huge tan head. Lovely aroma. Rich toffee malt, booze, dried fruit, coffee. Full bodied, smooth, slightly sticky with great carbonation. Great rich taste. There’s a good backbone of roasty toffee malt. There’s some nice bitterness providing balance. The alcohol provides warmth through much of the palate. There are chocolate, coffee and dried fruit notes. Very enjoyable.

(Can) Pours hazy amber brown with tiny white head. Great aroma of toffee and rich wood and spice notes. Fairly full bodied, smooth, someway syrupy with modest fine carbonation. Great balanced rich taste. There’s toffee malt giving restrained sweetness. There’s some tartness and apple fruitiness balancing this. There’s a nice wood note. Notes of dried fruit. Little bitterness. Hints of booze. Very enjoyable.

Frpm a 440ml can on 27/12/2026. Pours a hazy medium golden with a smallish head. The nose is bright and tropical. Tastes gives you some guava but also a lot of zesty citrus, delivering a firm and very sharp bitterness that's unusual for an oat cream. Interesting if a bit rough around the edges.

(Can) Pours black with big tan head. Lovely aroma. Raisins, port, treacle. Full bodied, smooth and creamy with fine soft carbonation. Great taste. Sweet toffee at the start steadily develops are black treacle, burnt sugar bitterness. There’s rich dried fruit and berries at the start and booze is apparent mainly as a slight burn in the finish. Very good, although pretty intense.
