BlackHaddock Profile

330ml can via Beer52. This is the fifth of the series (I have twelve cans) and it's only the second one I've enjoyed, seven to go! Deep amber body with a tanned roof that tried to stay around for a while. Malty with a good hop backbone, burnt malts however rule the roost really, the hops adding a bitterness to the proceedings.

330ml can via Beer52. Thank goodness I've found a beer in this series I actually enjoyed (this is the fourth of twelve I have). Light haze in my fairly bright amber pour, off white crown on top that tried to hang around for a while. Caramel nose and taste, it's on the sweet side with a lot more Malt action than Centennial Hop involvement.

330ml can via Beer52. This is the third beer in the Siren hops series and I'm not impressed with any of them yet. Hazy blonde with a fast fading white head. Citrus hints in the nose and taste, but it's all a bit weak and bland, or subtle as a brewer would call it.

330ml can via Beer52. Pre-positioned at Auntie Sue’s and drank on 29th May 2026. Pale blonde body, almost clear, white roof that didn’t hang around. Second beer of the series and I’m not impressed, this is not a good or interesting beer, someone forgot to put the hops in. Ten to go and it’s not looking good.

330ml can via Beer52. Pre-positioned at Auntie Sue’s and drank on 29th May 2026. Hazed dull light orange body, off-white crust. Bland, boring and a waste of money.Very disappointing start to the Siren Hop Series, another 11 to go.

375ml can brought back from Australia by my farmer friend Graham. Poured into my IPA tasting glass at home on 29th May 2026. Hazed dark lemon skin colour, fast fading white head. Citrus fruit nose and taste, leaning towards bitter flavour wise. Grapefruit seemed to be the major player, with other unsweetened fruits trying to butt in. Interesting and enjoyable, not your average Aussie swill.
