Hazy, pale, medium head. Fruity nose, but on the palate alcohol leads. A bit sweet, sticky, fruity, all kveik traits, and the hop expression is subdued.

Deep gold, bright. Medium head. Nice rich lacing. Deep weedy and slightly oniony hop nose. Biscuity pale malts, moderate bitterness and the hop expression on the palate is more allium I guess.

Sangria sour. Murky looking purple, just a thin head. Lots of berries, quite tart. Seems less complex…I guess that’s sangria…simple tasting drink with a lot of ingredients.

Bright copper with a thin head. Sweet…a little butterscotch, hops are restrained and that’s why the malts are so pronounced. Alcohol sneaks into the finish, but less boozy than I’d expect. Probably could do with more bitterness, though.

Opaque. Thick head. Slightly tan body. This has spectrum (type not specified), and I haven’t had a lot of experiences with this hop product. Dry hop is soft and piney. The beer is soft, light grapefruit, alcohol and some pale malt. Probably mellower than I was expecting and that allows a touch too much alcohol character to emerge.

Hazy, pale, with just a thin head. Big fruity aroma, on the palate it’s clean, balanced. Nice pale malt signature, moderate bitterness, and again a stone fruit and berry hop character.

A hazed golden ale with a thick frothy lacing white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with resinous floral hops, grapefruit pulp, pleasant. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity biscuit malt with resinous floral hops, light citrus pulp, nice and smooth.

Can. Hazy and pale. Deep, almost overripe stone fruit aroma, with an acidic accent that's borderline acetic. Fruity, again that rich acetic/lactic sourness, low bitterness but the hops are more hoppy and less fruity than on the nose. Some tomato in there, which is probably less than ideal. Not bad, the hop is certainly nice, but hmmm the acidity...this one requires pondering.

Can. Dark brown. Thick head. Decent chocolate nose up front, light coffee. Rich, full bodied with lots of roasty coffee character. Hearty malt sweetness and light toffee provide a good backdrop for this.
