Unusual and refreshing surprise. Pale yellow, with a hint of Berliner Weisse sourness, and a somewhat soapy mouthfeel.

Dark chestnut colour; nutty flavours, and earthy malt, drying out to a smoky finish.

Nice almost opaque black color, with thick white head. Vaguely sweet aroma. Starts sour, and mellows to a medium bitter, dry flavor. Extremely creamy, and lacking any punch. No roasted flavors.

Deep dark red color, with a thin white head. Modest to no aroma, hinting at hops. Relatively light bodied, very dry, and medium bitter. Not sweet in the least - very little detectable malt profile. Slight metallic bitterness in the aftertaste.

For my money, good full body, but the chocolatey flavour could be more assertive.
