The aroma is excellent fresh sharp hops and modest malt on the back end, has great big foam and muddy semi brownish gold body. Flavour is fresh juicy hops, lots of pineapple in there and very pronounced and tasty. Mouthfeel is refreshing and smooth. This is a a great hoppy brew, working well on all levels.

Has nice foam on a clear darker gold body. The aroma is soft lager hops, semi-sweet but not quite cardboard. Flavour is bright and smooth, semi malty, bready and soft lager hop notes. Mouthfeel is full and crisp. This is smooth and drinkable, a decent brew for a casual pub.

Pinkish and cloudy. No head. On the nose just so much rhubarb. Kind of funky, lots of sour stuff but no flavour development and nothing to mask the band aids and pedio.

Deep malty sourness on the nose, slightly simplistic. Nice dark brown body, foam was there but it went away fast. Flavour is earthy malts, sweet and also good sourness. Simplistic, good mouthfeel, could be more complex.

Middling clear pink body, okay foam but it's gone too quick. Lots of cranberry funk on the nose, heavy and proper earthy tannins. Flavour is tart cranberry and plenty of sourness, but it's all thin and doesn't come across right (I say that like I'm a black woman). Good fruit skin finish though. Not balanced correctly, too thin on the sourness and just missing elements that make it interesting to drink.

Heavy brown body, good foam. Sweet barley on the nose, not bad. Flavour is semi-sweet barley, modest chocolate hints. Kind of watery on the mouth. Rather meh, workable but hardly memorable.

Nice coppery brownish body, mellow foam, fake pumpkin spice on the nose and way too dry and grainy to really think it's anything but fake. Would it kill a brewer to not use dried pumpkin but just throw the whole thing in? Hell, that would be fun and I'm sure would taste interesting. Flavour is boozy molasses with pumpkin spice, soft barley notes. Oozing sugar and nasty pumpkin adjuncts. Not feeling fresh nor exciting, kinda fake hard to drink.
