Storm Hopped XPA from Aldi (Nord / Süd / Hofer) (Essen, Germany 🇩🇪)

5.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5.5 Flavor 5.5 Texture 5 Overall 5.5
Can. Orange amber with a white head that lasts a little while. Aroma of tropical fruit cup with a bit of citrus, light bread. So it tastes - fairly sweet, could have used a bit more bitterness but there's some there. Not bad at all for the price.

Imperial Law of the Tongue from Sailors Grave Brewing (Orbost, Australia 🇦🇺)

8/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
Can. Almost black, a fat cap of tan head fades but never quite disappears. Aroma of singed rather than roasted malt, brine, mocha. Gentle smoke. Full, creamy body. Some red berries, roast, mocha, fire on the beach, liquorice. A lilt of bitterness. Not much like other beers I've tried. Interesting and very good.

Nostalgia Trip from 8 Wired Brewing (Warkworth, New Zealand 🇳🇿)
1 month ago
7.3/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7.5 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Can. Clear amber with a a cm of white head that lasts pretty well. Pine, breadcrust, grapefruit and kumquat aroma. So it tastes. Lots of pine but it doesn't quite dominate. Citrus is fairly subdued, though. Enough breadcrust sweetness to support. Bitter end. Does what it says on the tin and well.

Missing in Auckland from Bright Brewery (Bright, Australia 🇦🇺)
1 month ago
7.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 7 Overall 8
Can. Clear gold, a 3/2cm white head that lasts very well Gentle NZ/ tropical aroma with feijoa, gooseberry, pineapple, crusty bread. Just medium bodied. Tropical fruit, peach, mandarin then pine gradually grips towards a fairly bitter finish. A bit peppery there too. Aroma is weaker than normal MIA but otherwise matches it
