Ansbacher (5% ABV, can)
Golden with a white head, this lager is well carbonated. There’s a delicate, grassy, slightly spicy hop aroma. Easy drinking with a great body, this is well balanced, with sponge cake/biscuit sweetness from the malt, and light lemon citrus from the hops. A cracker.

The IPA (6% ABV, can)
Slightly hazy gold with a white head, this offers fresh tropical and citrus hops on the nose, along with a sense of good malt balance. Pineapple, stonefruit, and orange pith charge in. The hops sing, but there’s decent balance — a light golden sugar note. Splendid!
London Black (4.4% ABV, can)
Black with just the faintest hint of red, this Guinness challenger has, of course, a creamy off-white head that stays well. There’s a very inviting roasty aroma and a beautiful body. Notes of dark chocolate and espresso coffee lead to a gentle bitter finish that leaves one wanting more.
