Cloudy gold body and modest foam. Soft banana on the nose, a little coriander, all a little jumbled and wet. Taste is a chalky banana, light grain, modest carbonation but also a little thin. They could use some of their own advice and go big, this beer is only half of what they need.

Cloudy deep gold body and okay foam. Subtle notes of pine and bubble gum on the nose. Taste is nice chewy pine, soft light grain, finishing smooth with nice hop oil and carbonation. Not bad but not really clearing the hump between good and great.

Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 5.5
Weak cloudy gold body and little foam. Soft sweet hops and slight pine notes though too faint. Taste is smooth sweetness, vague weediness, ending wet. This could and should be so much more, but here we are.

Good cloudy copper body and nice foam. Musty pine aroma, slight biscuit, clean but a little soft. Taste is chewy caramel, pine hints, ending a little wet. Not bad, a little more oomph could make it really exciting.

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 5.5
Smells of sweet milky biscuit and barley, has okay deep brownish ruby body with modest foam. Flavour is okay mellow biscuit and some weak caramel. Mouthfeel is muddy and watery but smooth. There's no finesse here, but it's drinkable anyway.

The aroma is bright lime with a hint of grain, working well. Has cloudy gold body with modest foam. Flavour is unique lime seltzer character, hints of hefeweizen and radler notes. Mouthfeel has good carbonation and it's nicely dry. This is fun and very nice on a hot summer day.

Smells of bright smooth lager hops, has nice gold body with modest foam. Flavour is chewy dough, wrong lager flavour, like a bad witbier. Mouthfeel is all cloying dough. Though not a true lager I don't think the combination of things going on here is doing anyone any favours.

Appearance - 10 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7
Soft maltiness on the nose but a little liquidy. Has good foam on a medium brown body, actual brown this time, not copper or dark gold so good on them for that. Flavour is soft round biscuit and nothing else. Mouthfeel is full, there's good crispness, but could use a little oiliness. It's nothing spectacular but nice easy drinking.

On the nose is chewy sweet hops with some strong caramel. Has okay copper body with modest foam. Flavour is candyish hops, some soft apricot notes, orange zest. Mouthfeel is full with good oiliness. This still seems a bit rough around the edges but has nice things going on.

Soft chalk on the nose, has okay gold body with modest foam. Flavour is okay lemon with hints of grain, full mouthfeel. Not bad but not exceptional.
