Can. Unclear amber with a good cm of white head. Aroma of tropical fruit, breadcrust, pine. Barely medium bodied really. Sweet without all that much malt flavour (does this make it true to substyle?); wintery oranges join tropical fruit and pine before a moderately bitter finish.

Aromas of pine needles, stone fruit and rye. Similar in the mouth with a very light rye touch, though the rye does linger. It's a full bodied beer but very easy drinking for an eight percenter. Well made, but not especially memorable.

440ml can, Highgate Cellars. Might have thought a Kylie beer would come in a rather more petite package, but heh. Gold with an inch of white head that laces well. Slightly shy aroma with mandarin, tropical fruit and pine sitting on crackers with a little overt alcohol. Sweet and clean with resin, some spices and firm bitterness coming though towards the end to finish. Pretty good, although the rye presence in Jacki is subdued here.

From a 440ml can on 7/3/2021 (shared by Butz with thanks). Pours a hazy medium golden with a small to medium head. Smells of orange, with some floral and honey notes. Also tastes strongly of orange, with some honey, and a big zesty, slightly spicy bitterness. Full bodied with moderate carbonation. A really solid and very enjoyable citrussy big NEIPA.

Can, 9C. Dark amber with a good cm of beige head. Lots of chocolate and vanilla fudge in the aroma but there's bready and darkly fruity malt under there too. And that follows through into the taste too - it's like a rum ball and unabashedly a flavoured concoction but the beer underneath is cleanly malty enough to stand it and there's enough of a nip of spicy bitterness at the end to stem the sweetness. This sort of thing is usually hideous but this one is very good - good flavours, excellent balance.

Certainly better than the mad produced swill but mine was over carbed, leading to excess head. Not something I usually complain about. 😆

Bottle. Very black with a scant coat of light tan head. Boozy aroma with singed toffee, mocha, vanilla, maple. Getting towards syrupy - the carbonation is lowish but enough to lighten it a little. Very sweet at first with singed/ smoked dark sugars, mocha (mostly chocolate). The other - drying, woody - side of maple comes in and tames the sweetness. After that, a breath of booze, a little one for 12.9%. Presence yes, depth no.

Pours hazy gold with a large sudsy head.Nose shows pineapple, peach, nectarine, pine and hefty amounts of sweet-smelling malt.Flavours include more peach, heavy pine, big resinous notes and truckloads of sweet clean malt, a bit over the top. A fair bit of booze too.

Canvent #2 for 2020. Very chocolate forward on nose with vanilla in back. Almost rummy in mouth, along with dry cocoa and toffee. Sweet and creamy. I like.
