Dark brown. Medium head. On the nose, raspberry chocolate up front. On the palate, a bit off kilter…quite dry, so the chocolate fades out. The berry steps up - that part is fine - but the sugars are lacking here. Finishes too quickly and there’s just no time for the raspberry and chocolate to come together. A missed opportunity.

Poured from the tap. Cloudy yellow gold with small white head. Cantaloupe and light booze. Lacking in complexity, harsh hop profile. Disappointed.

Has a hazy appearance with a dullish yellow. Thin head. Light tartness, fresh peach juice, mellow smoke just adds to the fun…takes a pretty basic beer up a level.

Pale, just a very thin head. Hazy. The aroma is mostly hoppy, more in the citra direction, light vanilla, hints of orange, so it gets a bit of that creamsicle thing.

Hazy, thin head. Fruity aroma, cantaloupe and sweet orange. On the palate, lots of alcohol, those hops being a bit more muted. A bit on the harsher side of dipa, lacking sufficient malt balance.

473mL can, pours a cloudy blonde with a medium white head. Aroma brings out light-to-moderate smoke, with gentle stone fruits, and soft wheaty notes. Flavour has a nice combo of smoke, tart peach, and wheaty notes. Soft, nicely smoky, and fruity, with a soft citrus peel finish. Nicely balanced; cohesive. Good stuff.

Pale and hazy. Medium head. Tart, a bit yeasty and wonky. Definitely more tartness than I was expecting. The pina colada taste isn't really there much... really restrained and the issues with the base beer mean that this needed to go big on the flavour elements.

Poured from the tap. Cloudy blonde with white head. Apricot, resin and a touch of mango. Lacks cohesion.
