Can from Beer52. A cloudy mahogany with large off white foam and good lacing. Aroma of brown bread, clove, light banana, pepper. Taste follows, malty with bread and caramel but with a slight berry tang and banana and spices. Semi-dry finish, light to medium bodied. Decent.

Can from Beer52. Hazy orange gold with small white head. A fairly subtle aroma considering the number of hops used although maybe small quantities of each were used. Some citrus, flora, herbs and funk but nothing seems to dominate. Hops come through more in the taste which has a tangy citrus, quite yeasty, zesty, herbal notes, drying close, modest bitterness. Not too keen on this one, just didn't find it that tasty.

Draft to a bottle from lowcostbeer.com. Only my second imperial pilsner. Pours a light cloudy amber with small white head. Aroma has a sharp citric, yeast, sweet bready malts, spruce. Sweet malt taste with some decent hopping. Citrus, pine, some spruce, semi-drying in finish. Tastier than I was expecting.

330ml can. Hazy red-brown colour, finger of beige head. Aroma of sweet malts, caramel, floral and stone fruit hops. Taste is caramel malts, grapefruit, orange, citrus zest, pine, minor resin. Light to moderate body, medium carbonation. It's nice but could do with a touch more depth for a red ale.

440ml can. Dark cloudy gold with moderate off-white head, reduces down to a nice layer on top. Aroma of the citra hops comes through quite well, with lemon, lime zest and that earthy floral funk, or cats piss as I used to call it. Taste is biscuit, white grape, citrus. Finish has some zesty bitterness with a resin note. For the price this is good. Might pick up a few more if there are any left.

440ml can from Beer52 subscription box. Clear gold-amber with moderate sized off-white head, settles to a lovely looking top. Nice level of Citra hops coming through, fruity, citrus zesty, slightly earthy, some grapefruit. Flavour is a slight let down though - there's just not much of it. Some biscuit malts, light zesty citrus and grapefruit, touch of resin. Nice smooth body, a little light on the carbonation maybe.
