(Can) Pours hazy amber brown with (annoyingly) huge off-white head. Aroma is yeasty and peppery with a hint of bourbon. Medium body with plenty of soft carbonation. Taste is odd. In fact I think there may be something wrong with this. Slightly vinous, and slightly acetic and a bit peppery. Not at all pleasant. Assume something must be off with this.

(Can) Pours slightly hazy golden with a decent white head. Good aroma of lemon, and pine with herbal notes. Medium body with lively carbonation. Taste is very hop driven, from start to finish. Despite being hop dominated the bitterness is not over the top, but there’s a good bitter finish. Some caramel malt sweetness which gives another dimension to the taste. Very hoppy and enjoyable.

(Can) Pours murky amber brown with a decent dense white head. The colour is not very appealing though! Great aroma of cooked strawberries and vanilla. Great mouthfeel too. Medium to full body with plenty of soft mouth filling carbonation. Some creaminess too. Good taste. Strawberries and vanilla again. Also some light caramel, some milk. / cream notes, and a nice note of bitterness to give a crisp contrasting finish. Very enjoyable.

(Can) Pours opaque orange, looking just like orange juice, except for the tiny white head. Pleasant tropical fruity aroma. Medium bodied and smooth with spritzy carbonation. Taste is hops all the way, from a juicy fruity start, gaining some herbal note mid palate and ending with some gentle bitterness. Very enjoyable.

(Can) Pours clear pale golden with huge with loose white head. Aroma is lemon citrus with pine notes. Light body, well carbonated. A refreshing lemony citrus start, some peppery notes, some light ,lt notes and then some nice crisp bitterness. Refreshing, pleasant, a bit light.

Can from Carwyn Cellars. Pours mildy hazed orange amber with white foam. Aroma: sweet malts, over-ripe stone fruits, orange. Taste: moderate+ sweet. More sticky over-ripe stone fruits. A semblance of bitterness to round it out. Medium+ body with soft carbonation. Very approachable given the ABV.

Can. Just misted light amber with a cm of white head. Aroma of mango, some orange, crusty bread, some pine. So it tastes with the somewhat peppery pine gradually taking over towards the fairly bitter end. Good.

Can. Only moderately cloudy (not a complaint) amber with a loosish cm of white head. Aroma of mandarin, peach lollies, some passionfruit, sweet buns. Taste follows but is deeper and more vibrant, then finishes with a languid peppery bitterness. Dangerously drinkable and very good.

Can. Packed in July - old enough IMHO. Very dark brown with a 1/2 cm of beige head that's soon at the rim 3+. Malty and dried fruit aroma with stouty hints. So it tastes, with plenty of bitterness that doesn't rush in (enough that I guess this will be excellent next winter but not in 5 years). Warm but no unintegrated alcohol. No spirits or barrel this year and slightly the better for it.

0.5l bottle, enormous thanks jmgreenuk! Murky paler brown body, off-white head. Oily aroma, caramel, barrel, raisins, alcohol, dry and leathery, minerally. Similar taste, leathery, caramelly, some barrel, plenty of alcohol, very much dried out, ending tart. Yeah, sadly not at its peak anymore, but really glad to have tried it!
