On tap at Holy City, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out a nice melding of the peaches and saison yeast. Flavour is along the same lines, with fruity peaches and saison yeast in pretty good harmony. A little messy, but it works surprisingly well.

On tap at Holy City, pours a clear pale copper with a tiny white head. Aroma brings out lots of jalape�o and cilantro upfront, with a touch of pineapple and light lacto. Flavour is along the same lines, with lots of jalape�o flavour without the spiciness, along with cilantro, and lots of tart lacto-y notes. Strange experiment - fun stuff.

On tap at Holy City, pours a hazy copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of cocoa upfront, with subdued earthy coffee and a bit of lacto - never had this combination before. Flavour is much more pronounced on the cocoa than the coffee, with tart citrus and lacto-y underbelly. Lots of cocoa and citrus tang on the finish. Unusual. I like the concept but I think the base beer isn't good enough.

On tap at Holy City, pours a clear dull copper golden with a tiny head. Aroma brings out the watermelon upfront, with a touch of lacto. Flavour is lightly sweet, with tart and juicy watermelon upfront, with plenty of lacto. Not the best occasion of watermelon being incorporated into a kettle sour, but it's okay.

On tap at Holy City, pours a hazy amber with a small white head. Aroma brings lots of lacto, with subdued hibiscus and a touch of salt. Flavour is bizarre, bringing out lots of briny notes, with tart hibiscus and salt. Very tangy and briny. Not convinced by this.

On tap at Holy City, pours a hazy orange with a small beige head. Aroma brings out piney, English hops, with a toasted bread malt base. Flavour is similar, with English hops, with plenty of bitter pine, and toasted bready malt. Bitter and not overly well-balanced. Okay.

On tap at Holy City, pours a hazy amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out resinous hops and caramel malt. Flavour is cloyingly sweet, with medicinal sweetness, caramel, and subdued resinous hops. Cloyingly sweet and bordering on undrinkable. Not good.

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 5
On tap at Holy City, pours a clear amber with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out subdued honey, along caramel and rich resinous hops. Flavour is intensely sweet, with lots of caramel malt, resinous hops and medicinal sweetness. Cloyingly sweet and way too malty. Not my type of IIPA.

On tap at Holy City, pours a cloudy amber orange with a small beige head. Aroma brings out bold, earthy, resinous hops upfront with bready caramel malt. Flavour is intense, with rich resinous hops, caramel malt and some earthy notes. Overly malted but it works decently enough.
