Blond colour with orange accents, hazy, medium head. Fruity aroma, melon, papaya. Nice malt base, it's delicate but present, crackers, touch of toffee, with light residual sweetness; the hops are juicy, with balanced bitterness; a bit of alcohol and fusels in the finish. I usually refer cleaner fermentations, but the result is still enjoyable.

That's a darker amber than the average Bock in the region, inspiring; clear; large, compact head. Mild aroma of caramel, and rotting fruit (or day old unwashed beer bottles). There's some serious malt here, biscuity, toasty, caramelly; moderate residual sweetness, the body strength is appropriate for the style; bold bitterness, balancing the malts, maybe some grassy touch too; the acidity seems a bit high, though.
I appreciate the effort. I'm quite enjoying this one.

Dark blond colour, bright suuny fields, clean. Some smell of packaging, paper. Dry, highly carbonated, smooth; I'm not sold on the malt base, that has some toasted bread, and the hopping has some vegetable character, nothing close to a West Coast anything. Meh.

16oz @ home shared with Alex (thx for the beer!). Appearance: almost clear golden with a white head. Aroma: some candies, a bit grassy and sweet. Taste: along the same lines, noticeably bitter. Overall: ok.

On tap at Beva, pours a clear dark amber with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out toasted caramel, bready malt, and some sugary notes. Flavour is rather sweet for the style, with bready malt, toasted caramel, and sugars. Reasonably structured and clean but a touch too sweet. Decent.

Dull blonde and hazy. Medium head. Aroma is phenols, strawberry and pineapple juice. On the palate, it's a bit yeasty, quite dull, again a vaguely phenolic impression. I get the coriander, at least a little bit, but nothing is really coming together particularly well here. There's nothing all that wrong with it, but it's a rare day when I crave a pineapple white IPA.
