Can from Pursuit of Hoppyness, Glasgow. It pours darkest brown to black with a medium khaki head. The aroma is dark roasted, toasted pine, zingy citrus, Terry's chocolate orange, coffee and cacao nibs. The taste is firmly dry, bitter - sweet character, bitterness lingers throughout, rich roasted malt, charred pine, cacao nibs, dark chocolate, berries and peppery spice with a drying, toasted pine finish. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Well our together and flavourful. Very well done.

Can at Pursuit of Hoppyness, Glasgow. It pours ever so slightly hazy golden - blonde with a small white head. The aroma is fresh, fragrant, zippy, tangy, lemon - lime, sherbet, orchard fruits, funk, grape must, dried lemon and sourdough. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, tangy, zippy, zingy, grape must, gooseberry, sourdough bread, lemon - lime, barnyard funk, earthy, toasty grains and white wine with a zingy finale. Light to average body and moderate, prickly carbonation. Commands attention. Bright and zingy. Very sessionable.

Can from Good Spirits Co, Glasgow. I would imagine it is hazy golden white head, but I chugged it outta the can, so feck knows. The aroma is fresh, fragrant, green, weed, piney, zingy, tangy, bong rips, sherbet and floury bread. The taste is crisp, firmly dry, green, piney, stone fruits, pithy, zesty, orange peel, grapefruit, floury bread and muted notes of alcohol. Love the aroma, perhaps the taste doesn't quite stand up, but enjoyable nonetheless.
