Dark golden-amber, bright, medium head. Comes across like a bock, focused in toasty and somewhat caramelly malts. Light chocolate but not dominant. Was thinking this would be something like Gold Foil Jr., but this in an entirely different direction.

Bright brassy colour, medium head. On the nose, has a chewy c hop nose, some crystal malt. Has a light chewy character. Woody hops, light crystal malt, medium bitterness. Classic old school APA.

Sort of murky pale amber with a thick head. Has mostly a c hop aroma with some brighter more modern hops as well. On the palate there’s a bit of rye chewiness but it’s mostly pale malt. Tons of bitterness and quite yeasty. Caramel, too… I wonder if this will get sketchy if I let it warm up?

Light haze, med head. Wheaty, hoppy aroma, light yeast but I have to imagine the passionfruit. Nice tho, wheat, biscuity malt, so light passionfruit. More bitterness than I was expecting. I like the balance and more important the quality is hitting.

Pale, thick head. Bit of chill haze. Malts are pale, bready, a touch husky too. Some herbaceous hops. Sweeter finish. Not bad but I prefer drier and lighter takes on the style. Definitely a touch of diacetyl in there…for me that means drink it fast but technically it’s in line for the style so I’m not supposed to knock it down.

Okay gold.body and moxest foam, very nice sweet apricot juice aroma though a little fake. Taste is modest apricot overpowered by some graininess, ends dry with lingering grain. The grain is far less interesting than the apricot, sadly.

Dark copper brown body and good foam. Sweet biscuit on the nose, diluted brown sugar. Taste is sweet tobacco, slight coffee, chewy biscuit. Ends full and smooth, good carbonation. Working well.

Cloudy orange body and modest foam. Sweet tangerine aroma, slight pineapple. Taste is a smooth pine, ends with slight oiliness. Kind of refreshing, very straightforward.
