Medium brown, thin head. Light toast, nutty accents. Lightish body. Not much depth to it even for style.

Wouldn't call this one hazy - it's bright amber, maybe a bit of chill haze. Thick head, but it looks kind of weak. Aroma is a little herbaceous, mushroomy. On the palate, decent bitterness, similar hop character with a bit more lemony character. Decent, but it comes across sweet overall.

Hazy, peachy colour. Thin head. Aroma leads with raspberry and has a light mango accent. Clean, wheaty type sour with gentle acid. Same fruit dynamic - lots of raspberry and a subtler, balancing mango. Refreshing.

Has a dark berry colour and a thick head. Berry and also citrusy hop on the nose, and it makes sense. Wheaty body, soft fruit, gentle tartness, mild hop but it’s well balanced. Everything just kind of works.

Hazy, pale. Medium head. Pineapple, guava aroma. Medium tartness on the palate, guava, a bit of passionfruit and light pineapple. All mellow, decently balanced.

Straw colour with a little bit of haze. Medium head. Has tartness from the lime, and a simple pale malt base. The salt shows up in the finish. So everything is there, for what it's worth.

Cloudy and pale. Lots of vanilla on the nose. Full body- medium bitterness and the fruits are fairly well integrated. The strawberry works with the hops, which surprises me.

Dark brown, thick head. Medium body, nice residual sweetness, chocolate, and a bit of cocoa. A touch of nuttiness adds complexity. Modest bitterness. Pretty good - not a style that's easy to make but they went bigger than average and it paid off.

Looks like this is an ongoing series with many different iterations. This one's amber in colour with a slight haze, and a decent head. Smells like it's going to be sour, but it's not. Wheaty, maybe. Fairly light body, and a juicy sweet citrus note. Balanced malt backdrop. Not the strongest concept but pretty well executed.

Sparkling deep gold, white head. Big coffee nose and palate. Like most coffee beers, carbonation is too low
