Draught at the brewpub
Blond color, cloudy and greenish, small head. Mild aroma of apple and bread dough, in other words, 2 flaws. Correct balance of sweetness and bitterness (actually sweeter than bitter) with some fruity touch, but also acetaldehyde, and some yeast.
Not disgusting, but very unprofessional.

Draught at the brewpub
Beautiful dark red-amber color with compact head. Despite the beauty, the aroma and flavor are very simple, the malt is shallow, the bitterness correct but with no hop character. Easy, clean beer.

Draught at the brewpub
Golden color. Delicate malt base, fairly clean, and not completely dry, and over it a nice citrusy hopping permeating aroma and palate; definitively more citrusy, zesty and interesting than the regular Pale Ale.

Draught at the brewpub
Golden color. Tastes midway between Ale and Lager, since it’s clean, light, but lightly fruity; ordinary bitterness. Traces of malt, not much hop.
Clean unexciting beer.

On tap at BRB, pours a hazy dark amber orange with a small beige head. Aroma brings out bready malt, toasted nuts and a little spiciness. Flavour is more pronounced on the holiday spices, including vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon. Maybe a little clove too. Nicely constructed for what it is. Finishes with bready notes. Solid.

On tap at BRB, pours a hazy bronze with a small beige head. Aroma is very restrained, with not much of anything. Flavour is decently balanced and mild, with biscuity malt, English malt and some toasted nuttiness. A touch of bitterness as well. Clean and balanced, but not very exciting. Decent.

On tap at BRB, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is fairly spicy, with coriander and orange zest, and fruity esters from the Belgian yeast. Flavour mixes coriander, fruity esters, Belgian yeast and fairly prominent diacetyl. Wouldn't be half bad without the diacetyl infection. Smelled promising, but can't drink this.

On tap at BRB, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is fairly potent on the hops for a pale, with piney hops upfront and some biscuity malt. Flavour brings out notes of soapy, floral hops, sweet cereal malts and biscuity malt. Pretty decently balanced, but uninspiring. Decent.

On tap at BRB, pours a hazy copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out notes of cereal, some herbal malt, and slight sweetness. Flavour is along the same lines, with sweet cereal upfront, followed by a touch of biscuity malt and straw. Clean and well-balanced, but not very exciting.

Draft - Citrus and piny hops. Dirty brown with a decent off white head. Bitter, pine and Woody notes with an odd sweetness. Not bad.
