The aroma is floral spicy hops and no chili, has a clean brown body with some fog. Flavour is more floral hops and the chili working well with it. There's nice lingering spice, good carbonation. A diamond in the rough for these guys, good mix of stuff going on here.

Stinks of watery armpit like that guy holding on to the railing on the bus, has a weak yellow body poured too high so who knows about foam. Being nice about the flavour it seems to have some floral notes and golden ale fullness but it all seems disjointed. Aftertaste is wonky. It's unbalanced and clunky.

Smells of sharp styrofoam coffee, no sugar, cheap Folger's stuff from Wal Mart. Has a muddy brown body with vague foam. Flavour is weak coffee, vague lager grain. Mouthfeel is way too watery. It's bland, boring.

Has a watery clear brown body, poured too high so there's no foam. Smells of vague malt and cinnamon spice. Flavour is all boozy malt. Mouthfeel is watery and cloying at the same time, it really takes skill to do that. This is pretty bad actually.

Nice sharp coffee on the nose, has good heavy beige foam on black body. Flavour is soft coffee, feels chemically. Too watery for what it is, and it's all pretty mediocre.

Soft peanut butter and jam on the nose if I'm to believe it, has muddy pink body with little foam. Flavour is coffeeish peanut butter with vague fruit. Crisp carbonation. It's a pretty mediocre attempt, but I see what they're getting at.

Doughy soft grains. Clear pale gold with a decent white head. Soft and sweet with a lot of corn.

The citrus is nice and bright, there’s some accents from the tea. A bit flat and the base beer lacks brightness but again, the treatment isn’t bad.

Light accent of the rose. The base beer doesn’t have the malt brightness it needs but the balance is nice.

Lots of hops, some bitterness, a bit yeasty and muddled, alcohol comes through in the finish.
