500ml bottle. Pours a hazy bright orange. Orange peel, coriander, lots of black pepper, lots of sugar, lots of yeast to the point of eggy brioche type stuff. Bit clumsy and overbearing.

330ml bottle. Aroma is a little lacking, with a little watery caramel and a fairly bland bitterness. Flavour is much more interesting though. Thereβs plenty of caramel and pepper, some grapefruit bitterness and a nice clean grassy finish. A surprisingly nice beer in a style Iβd usually not bother with.

330ml bottle. Pours dark ruby with far too much carbonation. Smoke, chocolate, biscuits. Bit fizzy and thin. Not my favourite.

330ml bottle. Pours pale and sickly without head. Aroma is peach, grassy sweetness and some tart tropical notes. Flavour is dominated by a grassiness with some acidity up front and a long peach finish. Crisp and reasonably clean. Pretty nice.

Bottled 500ml. -Courtesy of Marko, shared with him and ippopotamo36. Dark brown coloured with a red glare, small off-white head, caramelish malty nose. Quite weak taste with almost lack of everything; some light malt, weak caramel and rather dry finish.

Enormous thanks to KreΕ‘o for lugging this in from New Zealand. Poured a darker brown/red body with good carbonation and a small thick off white head. Aroma... caramel, slightly fruity, malty. Taste... empty, dry caramelly taste, raisins, very light bitterness. Seems like very very hard water, the finish is insanely dry, the aftertaste awful. Eh.
