Mellow clear gold body and just a titch of foam on top. Soft sweet white wine aroma. Flavour is sweet white wine notes, grape must, easy grains. Full mouthfeel. Not harsh nor sour but subtle and quite nice, though still lacking a critical depth.

Middling glinty gold body and little head. Huge brett yeast funk on the nose, major sourness, but nothing else layered in. Flavour is nice sour brett yeast, sharp carbonation, crisp finish. A great start, some impressive elements, Spinnaker's should explore this further.

Pale clear gold body and no head, smells of a musty bookshelf from a study that hasn't been entered into since 1966. Or maybe mouldy dog hair from a dry August summer. Actually maybe even doggy doo left to dry out in a park in the summer in downtown Phoenix. Flavour is bready rice cakes, dry carbs, followed by a sharp finish. Medium on the mouth. Awkward yet drinkable, no idea why someone would brew something like this.

Milky yellow body with modest head on top. Smells like rotting pineapples dumped into an ashtray. Flavour is soft hops followed by a foul bitterness. I like bitter hops but this is just over the top and unappetizing. Crisp mouthfeel though. There's not enough good here to recommend.

Clear orange liquid, flat, no head. Soft cinnamon and apple pie filling aroma. Flavour is watery malts with a soft cinnamon spice peeking through. Incredibly watery, flat, no carbonation. This is either from a dead keg or just really, really bad.

On tap at Spinnakers, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with black tea - smells like an iced black tea in fact. Flavour is loaded with bergamot and other black tea-like notes, with the classic English malt backbone still apparent. This is quite nice.

On tap at Spinnakers, pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma is fairly dry and acidic, with gentle acidity and dry apple skins. Flavour is earthy, with a fuzzy apple skin character. Moderate acidity, with an immensely bone dry finish. It's alright.

On tap at Spinnakers, pours a cloudy golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma reveals plenty of tannins, with apple skins and bone dry apples in general. Flavour is as bone dry as can be, with loads of tannins, and moderate apple acidity. This is an intensely puckering cider, with absolutely no residual sweetness. Good stuff.

On tap at Spinnakers, pours a hazy faded peachy pink with a small white head. Aroma brings out bright raspberries upfront, with a dry apple backbone. Flavour is bone dry, with less of the raspberries than the nose suggests - it's mostly just bone dry apples, with a slight trace of tart raspberries. Not a whole lot of depth, but it's clean and highly drinkable.

On tap at Spinnakers, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white Hearn. Aroma reveals tart green apples, with lots of apple core showcasing. Flavour is even more pungent on the apple core, with little else to speak of. Plenty of acidity on the finish, with a bone dry mouthfeel. Puckering. A little too much apple core.
