500ml bottle. Quasi black colour with small to average, thick, creamy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, beige head. Chocolately dark malty and fruity hoppy aroma, notes of raspberry, hints of cherry. Taste is dry, roasty dark malty, minimally ashy and metallic, diluted remnants of the fruity flavours; dry dark chocolately finish.

500ml bottle. Wonderful, clear, copper-ish, dark amber colour with small to average, thick, creamy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, off-white to beige head. Fruity aroma has hints of prune, a cautious touch red and dark berries. Taste is dark fruity and mildly spicy, hints of prune, red and dark berries, a touch of cinnamon; dry finish with a cardboard touch. Nice.

Bottle. Hazy orange body with clumps of yeast floating around. Thin white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of orange, dried apricot and Crunchy Nut cereal. Flavour of tangy orange, earth and underripe pear. Thin body with a watery, slightly oily mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Simple and zingy.

500ml bottle [label says Golden Ale]. Barely clear, brass-golden colour with average to huge, frothy, fairly lasting and lacing, white head. Citrusy hoppy and minimally funky, "wild" yeasty aroma, hints of lemon and lime, a spicy touch of fennel, weak pale malty background with a doughy yeasty touch (brioche or the like); the funky touch is admittedly close to citrus aromatised urinal cake. Taste is slightly grassy and citrusy hoppy, hints of lemon, lime and lemongrass, diluted apricot, chalky hints of lemon zest; sadly the survival of funky flavours occurs only in spheres of responsibilty with contiguity to homoeopathic domains. Light bodied and quite watery overall. Nevertheless rather - well, if not complex then - diversified for its low abv.

Dark brown-ruby color, small brownish head. Toasted nose has licorice and some lactose. Light-bodied. Ok for ABV. Licorice, tar, metal, ash and lactose in the flavor. Interesting combination. Unfortunately it does not work over so thin body.

Golden color, small white head. Fruity, even a bit candyish exotic hoppy aroma. Light-bodied. Pineapple, passion fruity, candy in the flavor. Some leafy and grainy notes too. Light citrusy aftertaste. Rakau has quite personal flavor.

500ml bottle. Clear, yellow-ish, pale golden colour with average to huge, frothy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Grassy and slightly perfumy floral, hoppy aroma, biscuity malty background, a yeasty, earthy touch halfway between gooseberry brush and long drop (freshly cleaned). Taste is minimally sweet pale and biscuity malty, mellow fruity hoppy overtones, hints of mirabelle, gooseberry, a mineral touch. Very nice.
