Good coffee aroma, dry and distinct, nice dark ruby body with modest foam. Flavour is good smooth coffee, slight coffeemate vibe, like that coffee I had working in warehouses when I was 17. Wait, that's not a good thing. Mouthfeel is okay with good carbonation. It's decent for what it is.

Smells of soft honey, some vague grain, okay cloudy gold body with decent foam. Flavour is mellow honey and sweet cereal. A little tepid but okay.

Reasonably bright sweet cherry aroma, has okay clear orangey gold body with decent foam. Flavour is bright cherry, properly sour, a hint of grain. Mouthfeel is crisp with mellow sweetness. Nice, decent sour.

Soft pilsner hops on the nose, has clear gold body with tiny foam. Flavour is good pilsner hops and hints of vanilla. Mouthfeel is smooth but not as crisp as it should be. An okay pilsner.

On cask at Callister, pours a deep dark reddish brown with a tiny beige head. Aroma brings out plenty of cherry upfront, with some toasted malt and a hint of earthy dry cocoa. Flavour is fruity and dry, with gentle cherries, earthy dry cocoa powder, and bitter bready malt on the finish. Light residual sweetness. Underwhelming palate — the cask doesn't work too well on this beer, in my opinion. Meh.

On tap at Callister, pours a deep dark amber with a small tan head. Aroma brings out toasted malt, a hint of dry caramel and toasted nuts. Flavour is quite dry and malty, with toasted nuts, bready malt, and a hint of caramel. Dry, somewhat bitter finish. Competently made, but unexciting

On tap at Callister, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops, crisp biscuity malt and a herbal, wild character. Flavour is somewhat herbal in the hop department, with a gentle wild tinge, and a crisp biscuity malt base. Too herbal for my tastes but it's not bad.

Pours with modest foam and okay semi-clear orangey gold body, the aroma is lots of banana on the nose but nothing else. Flavour is very modest banana. Mouthfeel is full but otherwise simple. This is decent drinking but highly simple and seems more like a wit than a Belgian blonde ale.

Soft coffee on the nose, has a dark blackish brown body and was poured with very little foam. Flavour is good milk chocolate character and notes of white coffee. Mouthfeel is full and there's good crispness. It's a bit muddy but still a very tasty sweet porter.

Smells of vague wood and caramel, has a dark clear copper body and almost no foam. Flavour is soft wood notes but thin though. Full mouthfeel. This is simple, the alcohol is well hidden but it's forgettable.
