Black body for sure with minimal beige foam, average sweet barley on the nose. Flavour is plenty of sweet barley, sugar, soft coffee notes. Full on the mouth. Very stout-ish but drinkable.

Good foam on lighter white body, a bit of cloud. Smells of fresh apples with a hint of sweet wood. Flavour is nice semit sweet apple with hints of apple tree branches, skins, the whole shebang. Good dryness and tannins left on the mouth. This is a nice cider, mellow, natural, earthy.

Nice deep ruby-pink body and fluffy light white pink foam, smells well of semi sweet raspberry and skin, plenty of tannin on the nose. Flavour is casual raspberry with a bit of lager hinting on the back end, soft grain. Medium finish. Exactly what you might expect for a middle of the road raspberry lager and it delivers in spades.

Okay clear gold body and reasonably good creamy white head. Smells softly of malt with classic hop hints. Flavour is a nice malt and hop balance, malt forward with chewy hops. Reasonably full and oily on the mouth. A nice IPA that's malt forward, actually not juicy by any standard of the current day.

Good white foam, clear gold body. Soft vague lager hops with a hint of farts in the elevator - you know someone did it, but you can't tell whom. Flavour is sweet lager notes, no crisp hops, plenty of sugar. Full sort of on the mouth but in a sugary water sweetness kind of way. This ain't a good pilsner and has very little going for it.

Pretty good foam on cloudy orange, medium hops on the nose and nothing else. Flavour is clean hops, mellow malts, reasonably well balanced an not overpowering even for seven percent. Nice and drinkable, subtle an approachable.

Has great large foam on a cloudy brown body, smells of sharp malts and palt ale hops, well balanced. Flavour is heavy cloying malt and fusel alcohol, some biscuit, really offensive at first but gets better as it warms up and alcohol numbs you. Mouthfeel has lingering adjuncts. It's heavy and hard to drink at first, could be more refined.

Soft foam and clear gold body, weak grain with some sweetness on the nose. Flavour is nondescript dry grains, too chunky without the right kölsch smoothness. Not very good at all, harsh.

Has good foam on a deep clear copper-brown body with modest carbonation. Smells of good deep malty biscuit, molasses hints, vegetable oily hops on the back end. Flavour is rich chocolate syrup, heavy oily biscuit, chewy maltiness with hop notes. Full on the mouth, sugar is a little cloying. Nonetheless the alcohol isn't too prominent, not bad, not amazing.

Medium gold with a hint of brown, pretty weak foam on this. Okay candied orange hops on the nose, hints of sweet biscuit. Flavour is not too flavourful, some malts followed by a hoppy finish. Unintrusive at least, not offensive, but oh so very boring.
