473mL can. Pours clear gold with a white head. Vibrant gooseberries and peaches on the nose. Flavour has gooseberries, peaches, some pits, cracker malts; a bit sweaty. The hops are a bit less vibrant on the palate, coming through a bit more stale. Otherwise a nicely made IPA.

Dark amber, but it's bright. No head. The aroma has...I guess it's a lot of rum. I swear it smells like a boozy cider. Whacked-out weird ferment kind of thing. On the palate, it's thin, somewhat headsy, but watery. And wild, some odd bugs in there. I don't really get a lot of rye here. Ok, this is entirely original, though I'm not sure it works. It's just different, like they're looking for something that works. Unfortunately, they didn't find it this time.

Poured from 355mL can (thanks CaptainMurphy). Clear amber with minimal dissipating off white head. Mild rum and wood glue with tart acetic apple character. Weird, not totally hating it, but not going back for seconds.

473mL can from their stall at the Hubbards Market. Pours clear gold with a minimal white head. Nose is very light, some dry grass and biscuit malts. Flavour is crisp and grassy with faintly herbal notes and biscuit malts. It's pleasant enough, but not the best of Tanner's lagers.

473mL can. Pours hazy pale blonde with some white carbonation. Apple skins, light sugars, and some slighly musty yeast on the nose. Flavour is quite dry and mineralic with some juicy apples and skins. Champagne-like effervescence and yeast expression. Nice, clean dry cider.
