Very slight sourness. But decent flavour. Not so bad. But got that astringent bitterness thing again. Feels more like a pale ale!

Tap at the brewpub. Nice. Light bitterness, fruity flavour, malty body. Grapefruit and lemon and a hint of tropical stuff. Much better than the Nakano IPA. Bit twiggy, and has some sweetness too.

Tap at the brewpub. I have, maybe in the style of a simpleton, added this a stout, but it was dark and coffee themed, so that's close enough for me. Strong coffee grounds type taste. Pretty nice. Little bit of roast and some caramel sweetness towards the end too. Possibly feels a little thin, but nice.

Tap at the brewpub. Red Brown colour, big creamy gold head. Aroma is slightly spicy, slightly sweet. Little bit of citrus too. Tastes great, nice malty body, hint of caramel, little bit of bitterness, really easy to drink. Sherbert like touches too. Really nice. Simple but lovely.

Tap at the brewpub. Interesting style for them. Much stronger than usual and very different style. Orange, light sweetness, bit of choc. Pretty nice.

Tap at the brewpub. Berries, strawberry, framboise like aroma. Light sourness. Alright, but missing something. Decent fruitiness, not really so much sourness. Interesting variation for them though.

Tap at the brewpub. Aroma is ripe apples and booze. Not a great sign. Quite sweet, feels boozy. Fruity, but in a boozy way. Probably one is enough.

Tap at the pub. A different beer to the Pale Ale, as both were on sale and they always note the batch number on the beer list. Made with Kolsch yeast. Aroma is interesting, Belgian ipa style or xx bitter like, lemon, sweetness, light fruit. Taste is different, hoppy weizen style, unusual. Citrus, lime maybe, floury. Another one all over the place but I like it.

Tap at the brewpub. Interesting. Light roastiness, quite fruity, cherry, bit sweet, cola, touch of ovaltine, bit of chocolate. All over the place but good for it. Quite sparkly too.
