Can @ Herøya. Black body under a beige head. Nice aroma of roasted malt, chocolate and coffee. Taste is balanced, sweet, smooth roasted malt, chocolate, some coffee and mild bitterness. A really nice classic stout in the Guinness style, but some more chocolate taste. I liked this a lot.

Can from Aldi Inverurie. It pours hazy golden - blonde with a thick fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, juicy and ripe, mango, apricot, nectarine, peaches & cream, orange creamsicle, bready, biscuit and some greenness. The taste is pretty smooth upfront, bittersweet, green, herbal, grassy, sticky, pithy, grapefruit, lemon rind rind, orange creamsicle, mango, brioche bread and biscuit with a soft finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Decent enough, but not sure I would pick it out of a hazy line up.

440ml can from Asda in Dunbar - Clody orange body, thin white top. Heavy syrupy mouthfeel boosts the tropical fruit taste, sharp bitter finish, lots of oomph from the hops.

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, a good bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy smooth palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft airy creamy sweetness from the pale malts. Right then, Luna hops. Mixed with Krush and Citra! A bright juicy candyish pineapple and lesser guava and mango. Soft pine. Krush does what Krush does so, a little hard to divorce the tropical aspects from the new hop. Citra fills the background in. Smooth finish. I think Luna could be a winner, definitely something a little bit different here.

440ml can. Clear amber with a huge off-white head. Aroma of piney resin, grapefruit, malts. Taste is very piney and resinous up front, orange, grapefruit, marmalade and caramel malts, a little biscuity, assertive bitterness. Medium bodied. Solid kit.
Great pair of collabs, really enjoyed both of these.

Keg at Fierce Bar Abz. It pours clear deep amber with a thick, fluffy off - white head. The aroma is woody, nutty, cereal, leather, sappy, brown bread, oatcakes, chai latte and cacao nibs. The taste is dry, nip of bitterness, woody, earthy, tannin, resin, toasty spice, brown bread, oatcake, muted caramel, chai latte spice, cinnamon bark and malt loaf with a drying and bitter woody finale. Average body and average, slightly prickly carbonation. Has a good depth of flavour. Mayen not as drinkable as one would expect for the abv, but definitely interesting. Would be good to see a higher abv version (7 - 8%).
