Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.5
Okay cloudy deep pink body, modest foam. Soft tart blueberry on the nose, vague grain. Taste is mellow yeasty berry, slightly sweet and tart, ending full enough. A bit of a red wine character here, tart berry, and not bad at all.

Okay clear medium gold body, average bleach white foam. Corn on the nose, almost nacho like, vague crackery hops. Taste is a nice meld of honey and cracker, slightly grassy, ending a little wet. Adequate lager, could use some tweaks but still enjoyable as is.

Looks like mango juice cut with club soda. Nice complexity on the nose, a meld of piney hops, mango, and a hint of sweet guava. Taste is a piney mango, sharp guava, ending with good carbonation and refreshingly wet. Doing very well here, Monkey 9 punching above their weight for once.

Weak clear gold body and modest foam. Soft coriander on the nose, vague cereal. Taste is plenty of coriander and yeast, ending a little watery. Kind of okay, checking off the boxes at least.

Okay deep brown body, some modest beige foam. Sweet molasses on the nose, slight butter. Taste is smooth biscuit, sweet molasses, finishing with more smoothness. Chewy, simple, but satisfying.

Weak watery looking clear medium gold body and almost no foam. Some cereal and lemon on the nose, hints of saffron. Taste is more cereal, slight pepperiness, ending smooth but slightly thin. Not too bad, certainly not great.

Super sweet and caramelly, burnt sugar richness. Simple, once you get past that.

Light fruitiness, mostly guava, mellow malt base. Low bitterness. Not really enough of anything.

Hazy and a bit dull. Light bitterness, but not much hop brightness. So a mellow pale ale, but missing the key to the deal. Not bad just a bit too in the middle.

Slight haze, gold colour. Medium head. Light fruity hop character. Clean, nice berry hop note, slightly toasty malt.
