Sweet sugary coffee on the nose, has little foam with a vague clear gold body. Flavour is sweet coffee and heavy malt, mouthfeel is full and chewy. Not bad but definitely on the malty and sugary end of this style.

Good deep clear ruby body and soft foam, soft sweet currant on the nose. Flavour is soft sour currant of no distinction and a lack of carbonation. Highly boring.

Wet sweet hops on the nose, nice foam and clear darker gold body. Flavour is soft malts and big hops overpowered by a vegetably bitterness. Pucker inducing and also lingering in a bad way. Eases up on further sips but that aftertaste helps nothing. Maybe for some, but not for me.

Soft sweet hops on the nose, leaning towards lager-ish and very little malt character. Clear copper body and minimal foam. Flavour is big chewy sweet hops and good malt presence. Full on the mouth. A smoother pale ale than usual and kind of lager-y.

Nice clear deep red body and a bit of foam, good sweet currant on the nose with malt hints. Flavour is subtle currant and malt. Okay carbonation but a little too mellow, could be fuller.

Slight haze, bubbly head. Phenolic nose with a bit of vinous notes and plastic. Low bitterness. A bit thin. Slightly fruity. Ok.

Dark muddy copper body with vague beige head, soft light roasted coffee on the nose with faint dark bread hints. Flavour is some sharp coffee but lighter, sort of caramel in a faint way. Too watery on the mouth though. Serviceable but simple.

On tap at the brewery. Has a clear darker body with minimal white foam. Has huge cloying fusel alcohol and sweet brown sugar on the nose. Flavour is sweet brown sugar with a hint of honey and biscuit. Actually not bad but nowhere near good, drinkable in a small town kind of way.

Very faint malt on the nose, has a dark clear brown body with a ring of soft foam. Flavour is basically nothing with a very faint biscuit aftertaste. Mouthfeel is kind of watery. A miss for a mild ale.
