Hazy golden beer, thick white head. Smells citrus and pine with some bitter hops. Flavour matches that. Bittersweet lemon, pine, grapefruit, grassy hop. Finish is pretty dry, I could maybe have taken a little more sweetness but it's quite refreshing. Crisp, fresh and very drinkable.

Hazy red beer, not much head. Smells sharp and fruity. Flavour follows suit, with sharp berries, a little bread, some hop. Not loads of kick to it but it's fresh and tasty.

Cloudy orange beer, very thin off white head which soon fizzes out. Light citrus aroma. Flavour is light, orangey citrus, a bit of hop. Light and easygoing but very drinkable.

Black beer, looked a bit flat. Doesn't smell of a great deal.eithet but thankfully it wasn't too flat when I had a taste though it still felt like it should be livelier. You do get a good whack of the ginger on top of a malty, boozy base. A little sweetness to balance out the spice a bit and let it a bit of a gingerbread flavour. Not the best thing they've done and I'd like a little more life in it but it's not bad.

For a Brett beer of this strength it was remarkably mellow. Possibly dangerously so. Sweet and fruity with a bit of balance from the Brett and the hops. Not special but very drinkable.

I like the balance of this a lot. A little bittersweet orange throughout drinking it around a nice toasted malty chocolate Porter. Rich and very tasty.
