Fast gone head over veiled orange beer. Lactic acid, hibiscus (quite obvious). Rosepetals and indeed sweet citrusaromas. Tart, dried citrus. Orangepeel, bit floral. There's again hibiscus/hibiscustea but much less identifyable than from the nose. Light body. Retronasal the main aromas, if diminished, return. Quite well-carbonated, and a bit burning MF. Quite decent - nothing more.

Pour is a hazy blonde with a large white head. Aroma is a nice mango and guava combo. Flavor is a more mild hoppy fruit with a decent hit of bitterness on the back end. Pretty good hazy especially at this low ABV.

Pour is a black with a huge tan head. Aroma is a nice allspice and cinnamon. Flavor is even more allspice and cinnamon with some bitter orange peel. Finish is a bit ashy with some bitterness left on the tongue. Reminds me of some Anchor Christmas ales of old.

Pour is a clear gold with a small white head. Aroma is white wine vinegar and honey. Flavor is white wine notes with some oak and butterscotch. Tart but not overly so. Pretty good beer with a heavy wine note.

Pour is a cloudy gold with a large white head. Aroma is honey malt with some fruitiness. Flavor is like a squishy white hamburger bun malt with some mango sweetness. This was ok. Better than the usual bland golden ale.

Pour is a bright gold with a large white head. Aroma is some pale malt and maybe some lime in there somewhere. Flavor is a super dry pale malt and more of a slight tartness on the back end. Decent lite lager.
