Pours a pale grapefruit pink with a thin bubbly white head. Aroma of wine must, some dry lactic notes. Taste has very tart lactic notes, fading to a light nasally wine musty. Palate has much of the same with a slight salty finish. Good.

Pours a clear golden with a fluffy white head. Aroma of citrus, citra hop oils. . Taste has slightly resinous woody notes, some mustiness, lemon, and other hop oils. Palate has citrus oils on the nose, slight hop bite on the tongue with a lingering zest. Good. Seems a bit more full-bodied than the original version.

Pours bright scarlet with a thin pink head - bubbly. Aroma of currants, stone fruit, berries, some lactose. Taste has blackberries, fruity pureé, some light stone fruit, peaches. Palate has light lactose notes, more of the aforementioned fruity elements. Wheaty, not very sour, but the fruit blend used is novel. Good.
