Can. Cloudy golden amber with ~ a cm of white head. New hop but familiar aromas - maybe pine needles are more prominent than citrus, peach and berries. And then maybe the peach is a little further forward than expected in the taste. Fruity but not very sweet with the modest bitterness that the current oeuvre of WCIPA seems to feature.

(Can) Pours slightly hazy golden with good white head. Lovely tropical fruity aroma with mango, notes of passionfruit, plus some notes of pine and hints of bread. Medium body, well carbonated. Taste has plenty of hops from start to finish, that give a peppery, herbal bitterness. There’s some tangy fruit at the start, and notes of light caramel in the mid palate. The peppery bitter finish is long. Good drinking.

(Can) Pours black with good light brown head. Good aroma of dark roast malt with herbal notes. Medium body, smooth with plenty of fine bright carbonation. Good taste too. Rich and dark. Plenty of dark chocolate, some dark toffee / coffee bitterness. Some dried fruit and rye notes. Alcohol not apparent in taste. Very nice.

(Can) Pours clear golden amber with big off-white head. Lovely aroma with plenty of caramel and fruity candy notes. Nice mouthfeel. Medium body with plenty of soft fluffy carbonation. Great taste, albeit rather in the sweet side; maybe not unreasonable given the stated aim. There’s a creaminess and tangy notes I am having trouble placing - they are fruity, but more like fruit candy. No bitterness. It all works nicely together.

(Can) Pours clear golden amber with good white head. Nice aroma with bread, light caramel, some fruity notes and maybe a hint of honey. Medium body with bright, slightly coarse carbonation. Good taste. Caramel malt and herbal hops. Reasonable peppery bitterness in the finish. Pretty straightforward but pleasant enough.

(Can) Pours slightly hazy golden with small off-white head. Lovely tropical fruit aroma - mango, passionfruit- with notes of pine. Medium body with good carbonation. Great taste too. Tropical fruit up front, with plenty of toffee malt quickly joining in, and a steadily growing peppery bitterness. Very nice.

(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.
