Light body. Little backbone. Lots of hops, lots of bitterness. Straight forward. OK

Cloudy bronze color. Very minerally nose. Mouth is very subdued for hops and minerally. Lacks direction. Aiming for English PA, but doesn’t have complexity. OK.

Smells like an orange creamsicle with coriander. A bit fake and off putting. The mouth is fairly gingery, but again feels a bit like they used cheap substitutes for the beer. Still refreshing and light. On a hot day it did the trick for me.

330ml bottle. Pale, slightly cloudy with an inch of white head. Aroma of lemon pudding. Thin body. Sweet, with little of the balancing sourness and clove/ coriander notes that I find this style needs to avoid being cloying.

Pours black, tiny tan head - not what others have seen apparently. Perhaps mine had been skulking around on the shelves a while. Not that it harmed the experience. Chocolate, coffee and oats aroma. Mild roasted coffee and cocoa. Not all that sweet. [7 2 7 4 16 3.6]Bottle. Big gusher - as was another I had recently. That and some very mild sour apple notes suggest infection, but mostly it just seems a tad overcarbonated. After a fair while the silky texture returns and the taste and balance are about the same.

Pours amber with a small head.Aroma is faint with some spicy noble hops and grainy malt in the background.Flavours are better, with some toasted malt showing but still loads of grainy malt, followed by a weak, boring bitterness.Light carbonation is good, but the body could be richer.

Careless pour led to heaps of floaties. Amber with tight white head. Nice floral and citrus nose. Medium bodied with fruity malts. What hop bitterness there is is nice, but it’s very light-on for bitterness for something that is supposed to be an APA. Still, I liked the very bottled-conditioned liveliness of this.

Pitch black pour, good persistent tan head. Big rich malty aroma, with lots of milk chocolate, vanilla, roasted malt, bready, toasty and nutty notes.Roasted malt is big upon tasting, with hints of coffee, toast and bready malt.Thick rich body, creamy carbonation is slightly too lively.

Hazy pale straw pour, good persistent head showing some lacing.Artificial lemony aroma, with some sickly nutmeg and ginger. Really weird, it’s like there’s some eggs in there or something...Very similar flavours, faint lemon, nutmeg and that weird eggy taste.Very watery, moderate carbonation.Thought this may have been just a bad beer, but the whole sixer was like this.

Hazy copper pour with a somewhat persistent small head.Aroma is quite green, piney, earthy and hoppy. Definitely English. Biscuity malt underneath.Flavours are completely malt-dominated. There’s the slightest hint of resiny hops, but otherwise the sweet crystal and nutty/cookie dough malt dominated. Simple, yet so delicious! Restrained bitterness makes for incredibly easy drinking.Good creamy mouthfeel.Wasn’t expecting anything this good. This beer isn’t exactly the best example of the style, but it is damn satisfying.
