Okay dark beige foam on a great dark brown black body. Good oily molasses and licorice on the nose. Taste is velvety biscuit, soft soya sauce, fresh pumpernickel and smooth licorice. Chewy, slightly sweet, very easy to drink, excellent.

Pours with a huge beautiful beigey pink foam and slightly muddy brown body, plenty of good visible carbonation. Good berry character aroma on sweet biscuit. Taste is a nice sweet malt with soft blackberry throughout, and a softly tart finish. Very nice taste, well executed.

Just a bit of foam on a cloudy yellow body, and the foam is gone way too fast. Tart peach aroma with some spice, cinnamon maybe, quite sweet. Taste is tart citrus, sour orange with vague date notes. Ends sweet. A nice clean sour, but the date and spices aren't coming through nearly enough.

Big stormy creamy foam on a light hazy yellow body, plenty of visible carbonation. Lots of peach and papaya on the nose, fresh and nice. Taste is a nice piney honeydew melon, lingering papaya notes and very tangy. Quite a nice cold hazy IPA, nothing out of the ordinary but very well executed.

Okay pillow of white foam on a cloudy orangey gold body. Mellow lemon zest and pine on the nose. Taste is crackery malt, soft pine notes, finishing smooth and refreshing. A little bit subtle, but would be perfect for a backyard BBQ.

Great creamy foam on a hazy peach body, plenty of visible carbonation, a pleasure to look at. Nice orange and tangerine on the nose, a little soft and soda-ey. Taste is a lot of chewy malt, tangy pine, with lingering sugar. Just a little thin. Malt forward for a hazy but very crowd pleasing.

In all fairness brewer Dave warned me this was acetic and left too long while he was away. Brown, tan head. Nutty sweet acetic nose. Palate more acetic, flawed , vague sweetness
