Medium copper body and little foam. Faint cranberry on the nose, maybe apricot. Flavour is tart apricot, vague sugary cranberry, slight malt. Tart enough, medium carbonation. Passable, vaguely.

Medium gold and modest foam. Fruity cinnamon on the nose akin to those Mike & Ike's candies or something. Flavour is soft tart peach and very subtle cinnamon. Sadly that regional tinny aftertaste for fruited sours rears its ugly head. A mixed bag.

Deep dark copper body and okay foam. Cinnamon and clove on the nose, or maybe that ethereal pumpkin spice. Flavour is spicy and fruity, akin to a mulled wine. Dry finish but thin for a porter. A little bit flawed but it grew on me.

Dark brown body and modest foam. Fresh cut grass and sharp coffee aroma. Flavour is grassy hops mixed with coffee and dark biscuit, full and smooth finish. Good and balanced as long as you like the grassy notes.

Good deep brown body and okay foam. Metallic biscuit and molasses on the nose. Flavour is tart caramel, hitter molasses notes. Slight lingering sweetness. The bitter notes does this no favours.

Nice clear red body and okay foam. Plenty of vanilla and cherry on the nose, both slightly fake. Flavoyr is good cherry, soft vanilla, all encumbered by a tinny dog hair aftertaste. Needs work.

Weedy cabbage smell, good foam on a soft brown body. Flavour is weedy floral cabbage, kind of offensive in fact. Mouthfeel is dry but there's a bad lingering aftertaste. I can't finish this.

Muddy biscuit on the nose, has nice foam on a muddy brown body. Flavour is soft malt, maybe some vague hazelnut. Mouthfeel is a little watery. Pretty mediocre.

No aroma to speak of, has weak yellow body with little foam. Flavour is weak wheat notes and nothing else. Okay carbonation. Nothing memorable here.

Soft muddy pineapple aroma, has clear gold body with soft foam. Flavour is soft muddy pineapple, unsweetened. Good carbonation. Weak and simple.
