Cloudy and pale with just a thin head. I get guava and a lot of yeastiness on the nose. Mostly sweet and just a touch of tartness. Guava is there, maybe saline but not sure this comes together for me.

Slight haze, thin head. On the nose, slightly earthy hops and pear esters. Husky malts, the body is thin, bitterness isn’t high but it comes across as harsh without the right malt balance.

Cloudy, thin head, coriander is evident but gloppy malts, too sweet and not enough bitterness. So for the style, these are pretty meaningful structural issues.

Good spicey barley on the nose, has a weak brown body with no foam. Flavour is more spicey barley. Mouthfeel is medium to full. It's nice enough, adequate.

Soft grain aroma, yellowy body and little foam. Flavour is boozy grains. Overall though it's weak and boring, and I got no idea how it's a Nordic anything.

Big ginger on the nose, medium clearish brown body and no foam. Flavour is more ginger, plenty of it. Nice mouthfeel. This is good for the ginger though that's not on the label, otherwise an average gose.

No smell, weak yellow body. Flavour is weak and harsh hops with a cloying aftertaste. Whatever they did on this one, I hope they don't do it again.

Okay brown body and soft foam, definite peach tea vibes on the nose. More of the same flavour, good peach tea notes. Medium on the mouth. Straight ahead but drinkable.
