Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers GB! Aroma of stone fruit. pine, melon and pineapple, stone fruits, grass, pine. Tropical fruit mixed with grain, but the taste is short and fades quickly. Its ok

Clear dark gold with small white head. Aroma of apricot, cereals, caramel, flora, but in a stewed kind of way rather than fresh. Taste of grainy malt, sweet apricot and floral notes - again half dead. Decent body for the strength and holds well the average flavour. Not the best.

Clear light gold with white head. Aroma has a light mandarin, peach with a clean malt. Taste has a mixed citrus, light resin and clean malt. Modest bitterness. Mid bodied, semi-drying. A bit dull but pleasant and easy to drink.

Only my 4th Altbier lager. Clear gold, nice white top. Malty grain aroma, hint of caramel, hay, slight dusty hop. Taste again quite malty but decent richness to it, hint of apricot fruit. Nice smooth body with soft carbonation. This is my favourite Altbier so far although I'm a bit on the fence about the style.

330ml can, why this made up brewery thing from Beer52? Murky orange-amber, small creamy white head, some retention. No huge aromas but getting dank hops, passionfruit, resin. Taste is malty, biscuit, stone fruits, subtle pine resin. Good moderate body and soft to zingy carbonation. Its not a bad beer its just inherently average in aromas and flavour despite a good mouthfeel. Its a notch above a standard beer you can get from Aldi except I wouldn't be paying nearly £3 for it.

339ml can via Beer52: BBE October 2024, this was to be my last beer of 2023 (22:00 on New Years Eve). Slight haze to the pale blonde body, thin white head. Lemon like aroma and taste, too citrussy for me.

330ml can from Beer52 - Pours a clear golden colour with a small frothy white head that quickly settled to a film. Aroma is grainy malts with an unpleasant boiled vegetable note. A thin malty taste, grainy malts and a grassy bitterness.
