Can, picked up at the brewery. Also multiple pours at the brewery. Murked up, deep gold. Thin, lasting, leggy, white head. Nose has candied peel. Citrus fruit sorbet. Lemon infused ice cream. Tinned strawberry. Hint of oily herb. Definitely on the sweet end of the spectrum. Taste is similarly sweet, with a juicy, overripe citrus skin bitterness. Medium body. Slick and oily. Fine carbonation. Big stickiness on the lips. Finish is a little less sweet, with a herbal, oily bitterness to close. Despite the sweetness this is hugely drinkable.

Can at home in Hackney - big thanks to Garrold for the swap. Pours clear amber-gold with a frothy, off-white head. Novel stuff, nicely rounded, has some toasted malts, light dry honey, berry seeds, a little grass, English yeast. Light to medium bodied with massaging carbonation. Fairly bitter in the finish, soft leafy notes, pine, leather, mellow honey, herbal hops. Dynamic beer.

Can at home in Hackney - sourced via trade with Garrold. Pours hazy yellow with a frothy, pure white head. Lovely stuff, soft and juicy, with notes of lemon, tangerine, orange rind, mild bitterness. Light to medium bodied with delicate, massaging carbonation. Balanced finish, juicy but not comically so. Excellent.

Can, picked up at the brewery. Also on tap at the brewery. Hazed, deep chestnut brown. Swirl and halo of lasting, off white head. Nose has red wine dregs. Tobacco leaf. Dry roast malt. Spent coffee grinds. Some leafy, earthy hop. Taste is dry and lightly earthy, with a pretty full on red wine tartness. Minimal sweetness here. Light to medium body. More of the tartness. Foamy carbonation. Dry, tart and vinous on the finish. Great first use of the foeder.

Can at home in Hackney - huge thanks to Garrold. Pours jet black, oily, with a dense, frothy beige head. Wow, quite a toothy stout, great hearty dark malt character, tons of ashy roast, scorched earth, dry baking cocoa. Medium to full bodied, velvety, with delicate carbonation. Lightly warming finish, loads more bitter ashy character, bitter dark chocolate, more burnt earth, woody dryness. Haven't had an old-school stout like this for a while. Nice one.
