Draught Fully hazy yellow; slightest rim. Breakfast grain prepared with soured milk for nose. Taste are "health cookies, whole grain dry toast. Light MF, just the grain giving texture. This has as much to do with Berliner Weisse as me with J.F. Kennedy. Sorry guys, needs to be reworked sorely.

Fully hazy orange; pale orange coloured head. Very orange/curaçao nose, coriander, OK, making it smell like a "tripel wit". Extremely fruity & spicey, lots of citrus. Obvious alcohol, contributing to the sweetness; esters. Slight alcoholwarming, highly carbonated. Not bad at all, but definitely not a beer apt at sessions, I’d say. More for dinner, as Garrett O. suggested.

Light golden colour. Lightly grassy, lightly malty aroma. The flavours are light, but the bitterness is not. Tons of Pride of Ringwood character. Dry finish. A bit one-dimensional, more a showcase for the PoR hop, which really isn’t one of the world’s better hops. But I can see why they’d want to try brewing it.

Slightly hazy ruby brown. Appley, bubblegummy, yeasty nose. Kind of thin and tobaccoey but also with some peppery, footy yeast and faint dark fruit notes.

Golden colour. Appley, unionmade aroma. Apple and malt character with light bready notes. This is followed by overwhelming raunch. Yeah, I thought it was clean but after it warmed up a bit it’s damn nasty. Too many high alcohol and dirty yeast notes. Well, it’s authentic, bitch.

Hazy amber. Sweet, spicy and alcoholic aroma. Big sweet & spicy flavour - heavy cinnamon and nutmeg. Creamy body. The finish is sweet and again very spicy.

Very heavy chestnut nose. Fuselly, corny aroma with hints of toast. The flavour is very toasty. The body is smooth with light caramel. Keep that corn in check and this could be pretty good.

Hazy light amber colour. Wheaty, yeasty aroma with light orange accent. Very orangey...okay yuzu-y. The body is slightly sweet & sour, and a little creamy too. Overly firm pale malts with big yuzu character in the finish. The yuzu is great when you get it, but overall this beer is a shade too yeasty.

Bottled. Very black. Aroma of chocolate and molasses. Sweetish with thick, rounded mouthfeel, notes of coffee. Near full bodied, but somewhat sticky mouthfeel. Salty, bitter finish.
