Soft coffee aroma, has nice clear orange body. Flavour is bright smooth coffee, though the mouthfeel is a little watery. Decent enough but I can't detect any IPA character.

Bright heavy piney hops on the nose, has medium orange body with okay foam. Flavour is heavy strong hoppy pine, nice in fact. Full and oily on the mouth. A nice big IPA.

Soft caramelly malt on the nose, has weak semi-cloudy brown body and modest foam. Flavour is... what is that? Chili spice? Taco meat? I'm surprised to find this in a beer. Not necessarily awful but I'm not seeing this as a drinking flavour. Seems like beef stock or something. Call me racist. Mouthfeel is full enough. Extra marks for a memorable beer though.

Smells of very musty fruit, reminds me of velvet carpets from the 70's. Has a gloomy pink body with soft white foam. Flavour is bright chewy berry, good carbonated crispness. A decent sweet berry sour.

Soft sweet sour fruit on the nose, has murky dark pink body and modest foam. Flavour is reasonably juicy sourness with some malt hints. Good refreshing mouthfeel. It's okay, not bad at all.

Smells of brett and leather is weak amounts and not working great together. Has weak clear brown body with minimal foam, there they go overpouring the glass again. Flavour is nice brett yeast with caramel. Crisp mouthfeel. It's okay, semi-funky, leaning in the right direction but nowhere near where it could be.
