Can. Misted pale gold with a white head. Aroma of crackers, apple, pear and orange blossom. Sweetish and a bit fruity before quite punchy peppery bitterness at the end. Decent quaffer.

Can. Unclear gold with a modest white head. Bready aroma with flowers and spices. Rich and quite sweet with some stone fruit before mildly spiced bitterness. Needed a bit drier finish and/or more bitterness but OK.

Golden amber, fading w head. Piney with light bread, pineapple, apricot, some citrus. Quite sweet with apricot and bread before pine grips towards the fairly bitter end. OK, wanted a drier end.

Can. Murky brownish orange with a cm of white head. Tropical, apricot, orange and chewed cracker aroma. Thick, vague fruity palate. Some lime and coconut join the amiable muddle. Slight astringency at the end, little bitterness.

Tap. Misted gold, dense white head. Aroma of Meyer lemon, light bread, some herbs. Light bodied. Lots of citrus, some pine towards the fairly snappy end. Refreshing but inharmonious

Thought I'd already added this one. Can. Cloudy amber with a white head that lasts OK. 3+ Somewhat funky aroma with passionfruit, plum, red berries, maybe mango. Some shoe polish. Really can't tell where the beer's tartness ends and the fruit begins. Lovely balance of luscious fruit and dryish sour beer. Just a little bitterness at the end too. Refreshing.
