(Can) Pours hazy amber with loose white head. Great aroma with strong peach and some candy notes. Great mouthfeel too. Smooth medium body with fine carbonation. Taste has plenty of fruit flavours, primarily peach. There’s some candy and lactic notes. A pleasant bitter starts to develop in the mid palate and grows to provide a balance of bitterness and fruit and sweet notes in the finish. Unusual and very enjoyable.

(Can) Pours slightly hazy golden amber with small white head. Great fruity aroma. Plenty of passionfruit, with some citrus and toffee notes. Edomite body with plenty of fine carbonation. Taste has a peppery spice start with some bite to it. Tropical fruit and toffee notes develop, followed by a growing bitterness. Very hoppy! Quite enjoyable, but for me the aggressive peppery notes overwhelmed the fruitiness unbalancing the mix of flavours. Enjoyable nonetheless.

(Can) Pours clear pale gold with tiny white head. Aroma of of grain with hints of candy and cardboard. Light body with lively, somewhat fizzy carbonation. Taste is a bit thin and watery, although with some pleasant malt notes and candy hints. Boring but quaffable.

(Can) Pours opaque pale amber with no head. Aroma is funky with mango notes. Medium bodied with lively, somewhat fizzy, carbonation. Taste starts nicely tart with plenty of pineapple and citrus. The tartness mellows somewhat and some lactic and yeasty notes develop. There’s some funky hints too. The finish has a distinct pineapple note. Enjoyable.

(Can) Pours pale gold with the faintest haze and a big loose white head. Aroma has citrus, herbal and earthy notes. Light body with bright, somewhat fizzy, carbonation. Flavour has herbal notes leading to some pleasant bitterness in the finish. There’s some fruity tartness at the start. A little odd, but certainly drinkable.

(Can) Pours clear pale golden with tiny loose white head. Great aroma of banana, with notes of cloves and pepper. Light body with modest fine carbonation. Taste has a pleasant gentle citrus tartness through most of the palate, softening towards the finish with yeasty yoghurt notes. There’s some peppery notes too. Very good.

(Can) Pours hazy golden amber with good white head. Great aroma - lime, orange, paw paw and hints of pepper. Smooth medium body with plenty of fine carbonation. Great taste too. A mix of tangy fruits slowly evolving into a dank herbal bitter finish. There’s hints of biscuit malt sweetness. Very nice.

Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 6.5 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 7
(Can) Pours slightly hazy golden with big white head. Interesting and pleasant aroma with pine and melon. Medium body, well carbonated. Good taste with a backbone of toffee malt that provides a vehicle for the hops with flavours of melon and stone fruit. Modest bitterness in finish. Pleasant drinking.

(Can) Pours hazy amber brown with pale tan head. Pleasant aroma with pine, citrus and toffee notes. Medium body with good bright carbonation. Balanced pleasant taste. There’s plenty of hops giving some nice tangy fruit up front and a decent bitter finish. This sits well with some solid toffee malt. Very good.
SimonF (3322) reviewed Mid-Lager from Carbon 6 7 months ago
Appearance - 5 | Aroma - 5.5 | Flavor - 4.5 | Texture - 5 | Overall - 5
(Can) Pours clear pale gold with loose white head. Aroma is peppery with grainy notes. Light bodied and fizzy. Taste is watery, there’s some tartness at the start, some somewhat metallic bitter notes, and some bready malt develops towards the end. I know it’s a mid strength, but still it’s pretty disappointing.
