Kinda pale not tooturbid . For whatever reason the first thing that came to mind was someone dribbling a basketball and slipping out of their hands. Then I take a sip and realize why. They are an amateur. Certainly not bad but they won’t be in the majors

Tap in Chiba. A bit of candied bright fruits over some light yeast, citrus, and peppercorn notes. Very relaxed saison but quite enjoyable if you mindset is right for it. Not a classic- too sweet. But still tasty.

Lots of hazelnut on the nose, the nitro is a good call, really adds to the mouthfeel and creaminess. Smooth nutty malt forward.

Not very hazy, but lots of mango and the chili builds nicely. A bit on the sweet side

lightly hazy golden color. Nice vitamin C and mangos in the nose that has lovely hop character but no real darkness or tartness for the style. The palate has medium to strong carbonation, low medium bitterness but again lacks tartness that I want to see in this style. The hop character is quit pronounced and enjoyable, but the beers need to be reworked.

Lots of citrus and spice. Malt forward. The actually lame IPA underneath works well with the habenero to make it a better beer. Still not amazing, but I would have again.

Tap at the brewpub. Decent enough. Nice fruity taste, bitterness is there but not in your face. Citrus and bit of tropical fruit. Malt comes later, biscuity. Finish is pleasantly lingering. Decent. Bit yeasty further down, but nice enough.

Tap at the brewery. Looks dark. Aroma is initially porter like but then mellows into caramel maltiness. Toffee. Taste is decent, soft, malty, easy drinking. Bit of floral sweetness later. Not sure where that came from. Low carb. Sessionable. Decent.
