Strong Beer

The Yang was insanely bitter but was otherwise rubbish (because, I suspect, it was not at all fresh). Rip Tide (dated branding!) was brill as was Tsar (although it had this weird minty/root beery thing going on I think). Tickle Monster was great, but a little too flat, maybe a little too sweet and had bloody enormous lumps of yeast in it. Wyoming Sheep Ranch is easily the pick of this bunch. Had it few times over the years, keg at the Old Red Cow and a couple of bottles too. When fresh, it's an instabag. Can't find my bottle shot for it though :/

Siren, Calypso

Noteless for this as I changed phones and lost a chunk of my notes. From what I remember: quite a tropical nose, taste was a big citrus sour (grapefruit), high carbonation and dry-ish in the after. Refreshing and morish. (Green cap meant it was dry-hopped with amarillo I think.)

Siren, 10 Finger Discount

I think this was my first Siren? Collab with To Øl. Fabulous beer. Brown and cloudy = tick. Citra heavy aroma (not so much cat piss) off the bottle neck = tick. Pineapple etc = tick. According to the blurb on the label: white pepper (yes) and tobacco (just about). Strong mouthfeel. Not dissimilar to Great Eastern IPA. Bought a couple of these.
