So they added a dash of flavour to the West Coast IPA, I guess. It looks the same. Dullish pale. Has a bit of a piney character, I mean it’s the same IPA, but somewhere there’s a touch of toasted coconut. I would actually like quite a bit more coconut – I’ve had a good example somewhere before and it was massive coconut. So it’s okay but they left a bit of potential upside on the table.

Has nice cloudy yellow body with good foam, smells of sweet rosemary, slight grapefruit, yet a septic vibe. Flavour is rosemary and soft grapefruit tartness, full and crisp finish. It's nice enough, well balanced.

Nice creamy beige foam on dark black body, smells of perfect Irish cream, the liqueur replicated most excellently. Flavour is nice smooth chocolate, soft Irish cream syrup, a little mellow for the abv. There's full lingering creaminess. This is wonderful, a standout.

Has a watery brown body with no real foam, smells of good spicy cinnamon soft dark biscuit, yet no sign of the bourbon. Flavour is nice coffee, cinnamon, sweet biscuit, crisp and dry finish. Very nice but I can't say I detect any bourbon.

Has okay darker gold body with little foam, smells of heavy sweet malt and syrup. Flavour is all soft maltiness, chewy, vague thick pine, there's a full and oily finish and the abv is very well hidden. Still, it's quite simplistic and kinda boring.

Murky orange body with little foam, smells of sweet hops, slight vinegar, I can't detect any coconut. Flavour is all heavy coconut and sweet hops but they don't work well together, feels too chemical and there's a lingering chemical aftertaste. I get the idea they're after but this definitely needs some tweaking.

Has weak yellow body with little foam, smells of soft sweet hops. Flavour is soft lagery sweetness, chewy light grain, but the finish is thick and too heavy for a lager. Mediocre.

Jet black with a rich light brown head. Minty chocolate. Dark minty chocolate and some bitter sweetness in the finish. Not bad.

Sort of a dullish colour, with no head. Tart, with lots of random orange and juniper notes, maybe lime. Pretty straightforward, but I'm finding the flavour combinations are enjoyable and the end product is fairly refreshing overall.
