Gold with a foamy, white head. Floral aroma with pepper and dough. Taste is moderate bitter up front, increasingly herbal and spiced at the back. Lightish body, moderate watery texture, moderate carbonation. A little more chewiness would do it good. Ok.

Gold with a foamy, white head. Aroma promises white wine, pears, and marshmallow. Dry, mildly bitter and a touch earthy. Faint tartness, lingering lemon zest and white wine. Medium-bodied, moderate carbonation. Easygoing and untypical. Pleasant.

Ruby red with a frothy, off-white head. Caramel aroma with roasted tones. Nutty. Faint red currant. Taste is mildly bitter throughout. Body to the light side of medium, moderate watery texture. I’d prefer a little more chewiness. Decent.

Deep amber with a frothy, white head that lingers the duration. Subdued pine and peach aroma. Taste is bitter, verging on acrid at the finish. Body to the full side of medium, dry, a bit rough, and with a light warmth at the end. Drinkable.

Bottle shared. Bit hazy golden. Quite some bread crust, grassy hops, thyme, lime zest, caramel. Medium sweet and bitter. Classic pale ale, not spectacular but nice.

hazy brownish yellow colour, huge, dense ecru head; aroma of elderflower, strawberry bubble gum, mango, litchi, some raspberry, some lemony and grape (peel) notes; taste is quite hoppy-bittery with the same notes as can be felt in the aroma; not bad at all
