I mainly like stouts & porters with a simple lager on a warm day. Big chewy hazy IPAs and oddities like milkshake sours also tickle my fancy.

7.5
Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 6.5 | Flavor - 8.5 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5

Pours a hazy gold like a hazy IPA. Aroma is very mild coconut. Beer is obviously a sour, mildly sweet with the fruit being the main flavour over the sour base & the coconut & custard giving it a smoothness like in any coconut drink.
One of Duncan's better weird smoothie style beers it is pretty much what it says on the can. If you like this style you will like this.

6.5

Amber as they say, small white head from a 440ml can. Citrus & malt on the nose, decent flavour, mid body, just mildly bitter.
Fine.

Pours.a slightly murky gold, from the orange juice I guess with a minor white head. Aroma is almost sour beer, fruit & perhaps the bitters. Beer is off dry, fruity and the bitters you can taste but there is almost zero actual bitterness. A fruit stile beer, easy to drink and probably greart in summer. Not bad even in the midst of a late autumn severe storm!

Decent coconut porter, easy to drink. Would make a great imperial with even more coconut.

8.1
Appearance - 9 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8

12oz bottle with no ABV at all. Pours near black with a very fine head, almost nitro like. Aroma is dark roasted grains. Beer is medium bodied, off dry with a nice depth of roasty grains & low bitterness.
Decent standard stout & more approachable than many.
