Muddy amber color. Dusty aroma and muddy flavor; it’s slightly sweet and fruity (banana), with some vegetable bitterness, for a touch of unpleasantness in the final. Too much yeast everywhere.
One more Wheat Ale that won’t be remembered.

On tap. Pours a dark amber with moderate head. Aromas of malt extract and light toffee. Flavors of sweet malts, caramel, and acidic bitter hops. Okay but nothing special.

Sweetish, with a touch of caramel. Dash of bitterness. Good character, mushroomy hop. Finishes with more of the sweetish malts, light hops, splash of alcohol. Decent balance. I have a soft spot for this type of beer, so it’s good to see it brewed once in a while, and effectively at that.

Boring.

Amber, boring, old hops, touch of caramel. Bland. Rather bland, forgettable. Did I mention bland and boring? Yeah.

568mL can, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma is dry, with metallic notes and pepper. Flavour is very bland and lifeless, with dry biscuity notes, and light hops on the finish. Drinkable enough, inoffensive, but not very strong.

Blond color, small head. The aroma is malty, not strong, a bit of cereals. Full bodied; the mouthfeel is round but also a bit oily; strong bitterness, there are not much hop qualities, instead it has some chicory bitterness that is disturbing in the final.
Nothing exciting or elegant.

Vibrant amber with just a slight haze, but a rocky head. On the nose, it's got a nice spicy hop character with a bit of toasty malt, the two complementing each other well. Maybe a touch of yeast fruitiness in there as well. It's got a lot going on, actually. There's this tobaccoey note on the palate, lots of bitterness, that same juicy malt sweetness and subtle yeasty note. Imagine a brewer in 2021 paying attention to yeast and malt. It's not perfect, but it's a nice change of pace.

Dark brown, sweet with earthy dark sugars, balanced hoppiness and an earthy finish. Good rich porter brew.

Hazy amber color with red hue; large compact head. Aroma of berries, strawberries, jam, pie. Smooth mouthfeel, more beer flavor than fruits luckily, although for this kind of beer the bitterness is maybe too much. White sugar taste too.
