Can. Unclear deep gold with an inch of white head that collapses. Aroma: bread, light biscuit, that distinctive lime and white pepper of the hop. Hearty and rich with the lime notes lightening things nicely. Hints of warmth and bitterness just get a little harsh at the end. Pretty good.

Can. Dark reddish brown, a coat of beige head is soon gone. Aroma of stewed and dried fruit, dark sugary buns. So it tastes at first, before a fair bit of booze and somewhat spiced bitterness muscle through. Some singed notes. Not bad, perhaps a bit shouty.

Can. Brownish orange with a dense cm of white head that lasts pretty well. Brooding mango, grapefruit and stewed peach aroma with bread, herbs. Heavy with bread & fruit puree with some herbal astringency and bitterness that is enough to balance the considerable sweetness - through it has to struggle through a bit. A little warmth but nothing overt. Not totally my sort of thing but it's well done.
