Deep cloudy papaya-orange body, medium cream head. Aroma candied papaya, lemon, and mint. Wacky, perfumy body, with lemon-lime, gin, and an earthy, umami-rich melon-papaya base. Smooth, creamy, and flavor-dense, but not heavy. Very good.

Cloudy medium orange body, medium cream head. Aroma and body supremely balanced with melon, umami, stone fruits, pineapple, and pink grapefruit notes. Also gummy with light herbal/pine notes. Creamy and smooth with a vegetal finish (but no bite). Excellent.

Deep opaque ruddy orange-brown body, thin cream head. Aroma and body heavy, boozy, and sweet with brown sugar, raisin, prune, oak, apple, and bourbon notes. A big, slow sipper.

Murky deep orange-brown body, medium cream head. Nose mostly pink grapefruit, orange, and papaya, with additional strawberry and dank notes. Big, sticky, sweet body, lots of melon and stone fruits, strawberries, bubblegum, pineapple, and light citrus. Immense and so creamy-smooth. Lovely beer.

Murky, deep orange-brown/caramel apple body, medium cream head. Aroma initially dominated by pink grapefruit, orange rind, and dank notes before mellowing into papaya. Body is mixed tropical juice with papaya and lots of pineapple, also melon, orange, and bubblegum. Sticky-sweet with moderate tartness. Some dankness and shades of citrus rind in the backdrop but not much in the way of roughage or balance, my only (and minor) complaint.

Clear straw body, thin off-white head. Aroma citrus rind and berries; resinous. The body hits hot, sharp, and oily, with a sweet citrus rind and pulp tang and rindy bitterness and firm pine backdrop. It almost stings. OK but incomplete. Sharper carbonation might help sort it out.

Murky peach smoothie or apple cider orange- brown body, medium-thin cream head. Aroma sweet and earthy with stone fruits, melon, and sour orange. Body sugary and dense with notes of peach, orange, passionfruit, tea, stone fruits (including pear), melon, and a touch of gum. Quite good.

Deep brown-black body, thin, quickly disappearing cream head. Aroma assertive coffee and vanilla. Body is super-thick and fudgy, sweet and cocoa-dominated. A hefty and adjunct-dominated stout.

Deep brown-black body, no head. Aroma and body dominated by deep burnt sugars and coffee; smooth but sufficiently carbonated with a good roasty balance. Sharp with oily thickness and boozy warmth. Very good.

Murky, ruddy deep red-brown body, thin cream head. Aroma sharp and intense, with huge prune, barrel, vanilla, alcohol, tobacco, caramel, and toffee notes. Body thick with caramel, candied fruits/fruit leather, coconut, grape, berries, and green apple, all kept in line with firm carbonation and boozy heat. I hadn't been blown away with a new beer in a long, long time. Immaculate.
