Somewhat bland, dried pale malts, bread crust, straw, crunchy grains, an accent of zesty citrus. Grassy, earthy bitter finish. OK condition.

Nice, mellow. Notes of white grape, melon, a little tangerine, a suggestion of dank. Soft bitter lemon rind, dry pale bread. Quite well balanced overall. Complex, no. But it’s massively drinkable. For the ABV it’s a pleasure.

That’s good stuff. Lovely pithy citrus character. Lean and dry. Some lemon peel, pale biscuits, mild bitter rind, pine needles. Active, massaging carbonation. Slight minerality. Clean, refreshing finish.

Rich and silky, moderately sweet, sugary black coffee, cocoa, background roast, a little ash and earth, dark fruits, nips of raisins. Medium to full bodied with fine carb. Lightly warming finish, some further cocoa, ashy bitterness, brownies. Sound. Smooth overall.

Pretty poor. Some vinyl, pale grains, a little biscuit, plastic grass. Lively carbonation. Moderate bitterness to finish, more off plastic notes, subtle astringency. A shame.

Pound for pound, this is a great beer. Good clean pale malt backbone, sun-kissed pale grain, pleasant piney accents, a little oily resin, citrusy fruit notes. Good condition. Great balance. A nice breadiness to the malts. Would drink this all day.

Delicious. Firm pale malt backbone, tangerine, a little white grape, pine needles, bread, modest bitterness, rind. Excellent balance, highly moreish. Went down too quickly.

Fairly clean and dry, some white grape, ripe peach, mango, citrus rind, mellow pine, bready pale malts. Basic but very easy-drinking.
