Hazy, thin head. Light nose, mushroomy and toasty like old cheesy, stale ass hops. A miss, more because of the hop bill than anything else.

Can from Legacy LRS, Vancouver
Hazy blond colour with decent head, it looks fine. Delicate aroma, some malt, touch of spice. Crisp mouthfeel, it starts "good", but suddenly the very unpleasant chicory bitterness kicks in, and the final is harsh, but unfortunately there is no score lower than 1. Not good.

Blond colour, clean, no head. Gentle palate cleansing Sour, it has a moderate lactic acid character, and very light bread (that shouldn't be there).
Ok beer.

Dark amber colour, hazy, with small compact head. Bit of caramel and thin body.
Never before an Amber Ale has been as little Altbier as this one. Clean, but completely off taget (from appearance to taste).

Dark cola colour with almost no head. Roasted malts and some cardboard, light chocolate; the profile could be almost ok, I find it a bit thin and overattenuated though for the style. Slight metallic feeling in the finish.
Ok.

Can from the brewery, tagged 01.10.18, 7 months old
Amber colour, hazy. Rich malt base with sweet caramel accent, and cereals; given the age not much was expected from the hops, they seem to deliver sweet orange notes; what is important is that even after this time the beer doesn't present visible flaws, although I sense that the hop has never been very bright.
Still an enjoyable drink, kind of old style IIPA. I consider that this is not a sample in optimal conditions, but I thank the brewery for the opportunity to try it.

Pink-copper colour, clean. Moderately sour, light lactic acid, very light berry.
Self described as raspberry kettle sour, this is very mild and it doesn't seem to deliver any interesting element.

Blond colour, just hazy. It smells like raspberry candy; not much to tell about the beer, it's moderately sweet, with some candy flavour.
Considering the colour and the kind of fruit character, I'd say this is just beer and artificial flavour.
Drinkable, but hardly a beer, more like a soda.

Cloudy to murky, pale yellow, with barely any head, gotta work a bit on that look (it looks like Fanta). The aroma is quite juicy; the mouthfeel is weak, there is light sweetness, very light malt base, some juicy hops, low bitterness, light dank.
Good NE IIPA.
