Poured from 473mL can (pkg 09/20/22). Clear hazed yellow gold with small white head. Corn malt with a touch of fresh oily leafy hops on the nose. Taste is very much the same. Just a disappointing variant of the already disappointing Stolen Bike lager. The fresh hops barely show through and can in now way save the lacklustre base beer. A waste of fresh hops.

Pale with a slight haze. Thin head. Light tartness from the wheat but more on the malty side. Seems like a touch of vanilla, I swear. Clean taste lets the malts, including some of the toastier ones, shine and there's just enough bitterness to balance it out. Not the most interesting of beers but I guess kotbusser never is. Not bad, though.

Dull pale. Doesn't look great. Doesn't look like a witbier. Thin head. Sticky and thick, and way too phenolic. Bubblegum and all that. Soursop? Maybe I get that, but I'm distracted by the fucking bubblegum. What on earth is that doing in a wit? Really messy ferm on this one.

Dark brown. Not much head. The base stout is flabby and weak, so the coconut doesn't benefit from malt richness the way most coconut beers do. Needs hop for balance, too. Sweet without being rich? Egads.

Has dank clear gold body and minimal foam. Aroma is nice dank hops, vague spruce tip. Taste is more great dank hops, juicy, spruce tip accenting it all. Ends smooth with lingering spruce tip. Well balanced, very approachable.

Hazy peach bidy and minimal foam. Aroma is nice fresh tart peach, slightly rancid. Taste is okay tart peach, pretty sour, ending with good sour grain finish but a little thin. Not bad, okay.

Body is mellow gold, minimal foam. Aroma is soft floral hops, slight floor cleaner. Taste is smooth floral hops, vague citrus finishing very smooth and clean. Not bad, a little boring.

Has a nice pillow of white foam and good clear medium gold body. Smells of nice fresh cucumber, mellow hops. Taste is great fresh cucumber, dry grain ending crisp and dry. Very nice, well balanced and refreshing.

Hazy gold with no head. Light grains and grapefruit. Tart grapefruit and some creamy notes. There is a salty note but this is weirder than it needs to be.

Clearish gold with a decent white head. Very little aroma. Soft vanilla and light papaya notes. Actually not too bad although not an IPA.
