(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 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!

500ml bottle from somewhere in Melbourne and shared in Kuala Lumpur. Poured a mostly clear medium amber colour, with a round frothy white head. The aroma is light toffee, boozy alcohol. The flavour is moderate sweet, with a smooth, somewhat rich, slightly oily, toffee, light herbal, earthy, warm, boozy alcohol bitter palate. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation. Not sure this has aged particularly well over the last 5 years but I did enjoy it all the same.

Can. Murky brownish orange with a fat coat of white head. Aroma of grilled peach, oranges, tropical fruit cup, crackers. Very sweet, a bit chalky. Lots of fruit - mainly peach and apricot, some tropical. Not enough citrus to sharpen things. Low bitterness, no astringency. Kind of flabby but OK. 9% ABV seems a lot for what it offers.
