Can. Hazy amber. Thick head. Toasty aroma, with orangey hop notes. Grainy, slightly sweet, a bit worty in the finish. Mellow bitterness. Definitely tastes like an NA; not the smoothest balance.

473ml can. (2022 vintage). Pours a clear red mahogany with a medium, foamy, short lived, beige head that laces. Sweet aroma of caramel malt, raisin, plum, cherry, light cinnamon and floral hops. Sweet flavour of caramel malt, brown sugar, plum, fig and cinnamon in a dry, mild bitter, warming booze finish. Medium body with a sticky, syrupy texture and soft carbonation. A bit thin for the style, but still tasty and enjoyable.

A Clearly can
Hazy blond colour, large head, leaving a nice lace. Mild aroma of citrus fruits. Lean body, off-dry, there is some bready malt, and some lemon custard; the bitterness is balanced.
Not bad.

Dark brown, small tan head. Sweet boozy fruity nose. Notes of fruit in palate but mostly bitter from alcohol and hops... Too boozy
