Northern IPA hey. Can. Pretty cloudy amber with a 3/2 cm white head that's soon a coat. Herbal and fruity aroma with apricots, soft pine, rosemary, crackers. Fruity (apricots, some citrus, coconut & pineapple) and faintly hippy medicinal with modest bitterness and some astringency. I'm guessing Aurora is Kveik of some sort. Interesting.

Can. Clear reddish amber with a good inch of off white head. Aroma of grapefruit, sticky breadcrust, prunes. Not that sweet and very clean with cracked toffee flavours nonetheless. Top notes of the citrus get a little lost but some pepper joins at the snappily bitter finish. Good; perhaps a little strong for what it offers.

Can. Clear deep reddish brown with a fat coat of off white head. Shyish dried fruit, brown sugar and bread aroma. Fruity with caramel, but avoids sweet flabbiness. Modest spicy bitterness. OK, not really my thing.

Can. Very dark brown with a 3/2 cm beige head that fades. Floaty whiskey notes over roasted malt and barley, spicy oak, some earthy notes. Stouty with roast and chocolate at first but whiskey takes over after a time with cereals, warmth and oak. There's a little bitterness but it struggles to assert itself. Good, if a little spirit barrel heavy for me.

Can. Light amber, a 3/2cm white head last OK. Aroma of light tropical fruit, citrus, light biscuit. Light bodied. Moderately sweet with biscuit, passionfruit, mandarin. Pine needles come though towards the modestly bitter finish. Solid quaffer.

Can. Clear amber with a good cm of off white head, nice lacing. Shyish tenor register citrus and pine aroma with some cooked tropical fruit, sticky bread crust, spices. Rich with plenty of caramel but none of the tiredness that often brings. Kumquat & tropical notes before gradually gripping spices and bitterness. Good.

375ml can into glass. From Cellarbrations, Pottsville. Pours a clear pale amber with a thin white head. The occasional bubble rises up. Standard Euro-lager nose, touch of malt, tinny hops. Fizzy in the mouth, easy to drink. Abrupt finish (maybe some lingering tin). Described as a Helles but tastes just like any European Lager, Drinkable, slammable, forgettable.
