Hazy golden, white head. Smells of subtle fresh citrus, no fruit juice whatsoever, also no strong resins. Similar taste dry, low malts, gentle citrus hops. The very low bitterness makes it feel a bit watery (pouring in the sediment helps a bit). A nice and clean unpretentious lightly hopped ale, nothing New England.

Opaque black, sparkling short-lived head. Some burnt husk upfront, very faint roast barley left afterwards. The taste is a rather spartan medium body roasty and bitter stout almost devoid of any other flavours. Not much pastry in here... As a straight die hard dry stout - passable, but not more than that. And that is not enough for a 6,4% stout.

Cloudy amber, big off-white head. The aroma is sticky fruit, bubble gum, oxidized citrus, shredded apple, no resins, no freshness. Taste: vague lifeless fruit, medium fruity sweetness, no real malts, moderate piney / resiny bitterness. Very light funky / sour notes. Oxidation, baby.

Hazy dark amber, frothy off-white head. Smells of stale peaches, glazed grapefruit, sticky crystal, some yeast? Similar taste - moderate crystal malts, sweet-hoppy, kinda stale / unfresh fruit, light to moderate piney bitterness. Ok, but no shine.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Max's place. Thanks zvsn. Clear golden. Citric hops, a bit of bready malt, a bit sweetish, bitterish finish, light to medium-bodied. Pretty nice.
