Can. Clear pale yellowish gold, white head. Mixed citrus rind and cracker aroma. A little boiled lolly sweetness behind citrusy hops. Drying, moderately bitter finish. Pleasant quaffer.

Can. Amber with a nice cm+ dense off white head that never disappears. Aroma of light toast, grass. Sweet with a bit more - caramel, hints of nuts - to the malt side of things than suggested by the aroma. Modest bitterness. OK.

Bottle. Very dark brown with a fading tan head. Aroma of chocolate brioche, oranges, light herbal and floral notes. The oranges and cacao are bittersweet and so is the beer. The deception of the eye is a big part of it, I guess - the malt is lightened by the fruit before a moderately bitter finish. Typically nicely balanced.

Can. Clear amber, a 2cm white head. Thin pine and citrus aroma with just a little breadcrust. Quite fizzy. Much more vibrant taste with citrus, grass, crusty bread and a fairly piney bitter finish.

Can, bb 5/26. Black with a 3cm light tan head. Mocha and nectarine aroma with some dark toffee underneath. Smooth with toffee, nectarines and mocha before pine does indeed roll though towards a tidy bitter finish. Excellent balance. Very good. Australia and good Black IPA - still a thing.

Can. Opaque orange with a good cm of white head lasts pretty well. Aroma of orange, peach, fairly gentle herbs and grass, vague bread. Pretty much how it tastes - the smudginess of the malt needs the herbal astringency to cut through at the end... but then the fruit gets a little lost at times. But pretty good.
