Has a good clear brown body and nice nitro foam on top, soft malt on the nose with hints of coffee and dried biscuit. Flavour is soft biscuit, creaminess works well to create a full mouthfeel. Boring yet workable, a safe bet kind of beer.

Middling deep yellow body and a bit of foam, soft hops on the nose leaning toward armpit. Flavour is all wet armpit hops with some sugar, any malt is invisible. Oily on the mouth. Unbalanced and hard to drink.

Good orangey copper body and modest white foam, sweet hops on the nose with underlying hints of rotting vegetable. Flavour is big sweet bitterness with vegetable hints, candy and caramel, more cloying bitterness on the back end. Another everything including the kitchen sink DIPA and as expected it's overbearing.

Middling lighter gold body and minimal head, sourness and vague pineapple on the nose but nothing else. Flavour is sour pineapple with some muddy juice behind it. Comes across like tepid pineapple juice halfway through fermentation. Needs to be brighter and more refined.

Okay semi foggy yellow body and some foam on top, good sweet banana on the nose but not too sweet. Flavour is more good banana, slight alcohol, wheat dough notes. A very nice witbier, hits all the notes with gusto.

Middling orange body and soft foam, strong styrofoamy coffee on the nose. Flavour is more coffee with some soft sweet grain. Reasonably full on the mouth. Okay blonde ale though the coffee becomes cloying rather quickly.
