Orange peel and citrus. Hazy maroon pour with a thick head of foam. They seem to have sorted out some of their issues based on earlier ratings as this isn't that bad. Bitter finish, and decent body. Can.

Bright pale amber, thin head. Has a nice malt sweetness, touch of smoke. The body is livelier than I was expecting, a light caramelized, slightly smokey. I’d say fairly well balanced, closer to the American Strong thing.

Dark brown, just a thin head. Thick body, sort of chocolate syrup. Just a touch of roast, and it could probably use more but not bad.

Dark brown. Not much head. The one is thin, soupy, definitely some diacetyl messing things up. I don't want to know what else happens when it warms up.

Kind of a murky reddish-brown colour. Caramel and butter. I forgot how much diacetyl this brewery produces. This one is rife with it.

Mega sweet sticky both on the aroma and palate. Ew. Pears and sugar. It's not off, just unbalanced, all sweet and not much else.

Plenty of weedy hops on the nose, I'd be lying if I smelled the strawberry. Okay deep gold body and minimal foam. Flavour is heavy oily hops, vague armpitty strawberry. Oiliness is good but the strawberry and hops aren't working very well together. Pretty mediocre, no one should be impressed by this.

Modest dark brown body and little foam, soft sweet caramel on the nose. Flavour is deep caramel, modest biscuit. Wateriness galore. Highly boring to be nice about it.

Very soft biscuit aroma, mellow clear brown body and okay foam. Flavour is sharp malt, good piney hops to back it up. Carbonation and oiliness are working well. Not a true ESB but decent nonetheless.

Hazy and quite pale. Medium head. The aroma is off-putting; soupy diacetyl. On the palate, it's better while it's really cold. There's some bitterness, and an okay hop note, but that soupy diacetyl is just hard to ignore. Could not finish.
