Dark brown colour with a ruby highlight. Frothy beige head, average retention and some very light lace. Roasted malt aromas with the hot peppers. The taste shows the same with the peppers building some nice warming finish. A nice warming, spicy stout.

Clear enough, golden colour with a big fluffy-frothy head, great retention and some thick soapy lacing. Aromas of green apples, other apples with hints of blood orange. So, less pine, more apples. The pineapple does show up a little in the taste, but still not powerful, which I like not being too sweet. Still fruity with apples and oranges. Sour, but not overly. I get more of these green and pear apples all-around, so I do like this brew.

Lightly hazy golden colour with an amber hue. A big white head that is frothy, and quite creamy with good retention and creamy lacing. Some deeper green grassiness from the hops with some pineapple notes over the citrusy base. Smooth juicy, wet mouthfeel with just a touch of dryness in the finish. Mild citrus flavours with mostly the juices, but a tad zest to cut the fruitiness - as in not overly sweet. A pretty nice, easy-going, juicy NEIPA.
A reddish copper ale with a thin mocha head. In aroma, sweet caramel malt with fruity esters, light cloves, alcohol warmth, pleasant. In mouth, sweet caramel malt with dark fruits, alcohol warmth, light grassy hops, light molasses, very nice. On tap at Brew Revolution.

Hazed up golden colour with an amber hue. The head is white, frothy, bubbly with decent retention and minimal lacing, with a foam ring left on the brew. Lemongrass nose with the lemon peel, light sourness and grassy hints. The taste is much milder than the full version of this one, but still some nice notes of cilantro and citrus juices left on the tongue. Mild bitterness and good dryness in the finish. Easy-going Session citrusy IPA.

Hazy golden-amber colour with a frothy white cap, good stay and lots of foamy lacing. Orange-lemon zest and peel nose. The mouthfeel is quite dry. Lots of citrus zest in the taste as well. Getting some hints of plums in the nose. Getting some bitterness and the dryness is building.

Lightly hazy, light golden-beige colour with a big frothy-bubbly white cap, long retention and foamy patches of lace. Yes, the famous Citra is present with the glamorous Galaxy. Citrus zest nose with some of the juice in the background. The mouthfeel is refreshing, not too thin and just enough dryness to keep it crisp. Hints of spiciness right before the finish. Beautiful mild citrus flavours. A very fresh, easy-drinking citrusy IPA that does not feel to light in power. Great SNEIPA!

Clean amber colour with a nice frothy, creamy lightly-beige head with good retention and thick foamy lacing. Beautiful floral, grassy, slightly spicy hop nose with some soft caramel malt base. Refreshing mouthfeel with a mild building dryness in the end, but very slow. The flavours are a nice blend of what is found in the aromas. A very nice West Coast IPA that is easy going down, but works wonders as you go.

Hazy golden-amber colour with a frothy-bubbly white cap, good stay and some foamy lacing. Fruity, lightly sweet aromas with a blend of pineapples and peach, over the citrus hop notes. The taste shows this fruitiness, but with a nice dryness that cuts the sweet aspect. Some mild grassiness lingers. A less citrusy, more fruity-sweet juicy IPA, but with a decent dry finish that goes down nicely.

Pours a hazy golden colour with lots of particles, of different sizes running through it. Frothy, bubbly white head with a good stay and leaving foamy patches of lacing. Aromas are nicely balanced between the orange, peach and vanilla notes. Flavours shows the oranges a little more, which is citrusy, and less sweet peachy. The vanilla is very mild, so not too rich. Refreshing, looking weird, but good all-around.
