Can from Hopt. Aroma is dank 'green' hops with citrus, tropical fruits, oniony notes, grapefruit, mango, oats. Flavour is light to moderate sweet with a moderate to medium bitterness. Body is medium. A bit too weedy and oniony for its own good.

Can from BiervanEijk, Frederiksoord. Citrussy aroma with orange, grassy notes, soft pale malt. Touch of pineapple. Moderate bitter, fairly low on sweetness with a dry-ish end. Medium body. A fairly average and easy Citra Pale, not bad.

Can from Beer52 as part of their Hagstavaganza box. Looks like this one was brewed at White Hag on behalf of O Brother and Beer52. Pours near black, nice beige to tanned head. Dark roasted malt, berry and liquorice aroma; nice. Taste of the malts and roastiness, some cola, berries, bittersweet finish; very tasty. Body is ok but doesn't quite carry the depth through to the finish for a foreign stout possibly in part due to the relatively low abv. Overall though a very nice stout.

Can from Beer52. Pours black with moderate sized beige head; looks good. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, light roastiness, a hint of berries, some sweetness; nice. Taste of coffee and roast, some dark chocolate, a touch of lactose sweetness gives a nice balance. Not picking up much fruitiness which would have rounded it off nicely. Nonetheless its a nice stout.

440ml can from Beer52 for their cyberfest. Hazy gold, moderate sized white head, leaves a nice top and lacing. Quite a juicy aroma of citrus, passion fruit, mango, resin. Taste is semi-sweet, orange citrus, mango, grapefruit, grass, pine, slight resin. A fruity high bitter finish. Medium bodied, oily, zingy carbonation. This is really very nice.

440ml can from Beer52. Hazy orange-gold, small creamy head, nice retention. Aroma of mango, pineapple, pine, resin. Taste is sweet tangy tropical notes and malt which lead through to finish with a pine resin and moderate but long bitterness. A warming alcohol notable on way down. Nice smooth mouthfeel. Not a corker but a good DIPA nonetheless.

Hazy golden beer, white head. Zesty aroma, lots of grassy hop. Flavour has lemon, grapefruit, grassy hop, a little coconut. A little more coconut than I'd care for but it's nice.
