330ml can via Beer52. Drank at Auntie Sue's on 5th June 2026. By far the best beer of the 12 I've had in this Siren series. Black bodied, beige roof, slick, boozy and semi sweet maltiness with caramel and chocolate flavours from start to finish.

5.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 5.5

330ml can via Beer52. Drank at Auntie Sue's on 5th June 2026. Hazed dirty gold body, white wispy head. All a bit weak and watered down in my opinion, I've not been impressed with many of the beers in this series to be honest and this hasn't changed my mind.

6.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7

330ml can via Beer52. Drank at home on 2nd June 2026. Poured into my Gordon's thistle shaped glass it looked good, clean almost bright dark brown body with a beige crust on top. Malty front with a soft oat undertone, not full bodied though, all a bit 'thin' and 'subtle' rather than slick or viscous.

6.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 5.5 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7.5

50cl can brought back from Cape Verde by my brother Rupe. Drank at home on 2nd June 2026 with a hot curry and chapatti. Bright golden body, weak but stable white dusting of bubbles on top. Boozy and malty, a lot better than I was expecting to be honest.

Hand pulled half pint in the Stag & Scotch, Newport Shropshire on 2nd June 2026. Clean and clear light golden pour, snow white head on top. Fruity and hoppy, nice without blowing my socks off.
