Clean, golden-amber colour with a fizzy light-beige head disappearing quickly and just leaving a thin ring. Light strawberry nose with a tad funk-sourness. The sour notes really come out in the taste, but not puckering, with the mild strawberries flowing well and a touch of tart left on the tongue. Not a bad Fruit Sour that is easy to drink.

Very lightly hazed, peach-rosée colour with an off-white, frothy cap that stays longer then normal for the style, and a ring coats the brew. Sour aromas with a little fruitiness, and some medicinal hints. This continues into the taste with the sourness nicely lingering. The cherries are a little better felt in the flavours, but not overpowering. Gets hazier near the end. Not much woodiness, nor vanilla. Just an easy-drinking cherry sour that does not feel this high in alcohol.

Fairly clean golden colour with a bubbly off-white cap, average retention and leaving some foamy lace. Citrus-herbal aromas that are blending with a touch of pineapple sweetness, caramel malts and some decent tropical fruit notes. Flavours are milder with a nice blend of the citrus, tropical fruits, coconut and a lightly building dry finish. Not a bad Cryo IPA with a decent balance of citrus, tropical fruit and caramel malt base.

Clean, golden colour with an amber hue, a big frothy off-white head, good stay and some foamy lacing. Aromas are a nice blend of hoppy grassiness, cereal grain base and some decent spiciness, almost like rye. This continues a bit milder in the taste, but again - a good balanced between grassiness, maltiness and spiciness. The mouthfeel is wet with a touch of dryness in the finish, that keeps building a little. An easy-drinking Pale Ale that mixes nicely the hops, malt with a tad spicy notes.

This lager poured a hazy light yellow colour with a creamy, bright white head. Nice lacing. Scents include corn, straw and minimal perm solution. First swig was thin and lifeless as expected. Drinkable, but just like giant corp swill. Flavours of honey and corn most prominent. Finish is lightly sweet with corn flavours lingering.

This one poured a medium amber colour with a fizzy, well carbonated head. Nice lacing. Scents include ripe fruit (raisin), spices (cloves) and a very tiny amount of vinegar? First swig was sharp with carbonation but a little thin. Flavours are just like the nose with the addition of hops and a little pepper. Slightly sour finish.
