330ml bottle. Cloudy, amber colour with small, frothy to creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Sweet-ish, minimally sugary, pale and caramel malty and minimally spicy, minimally fruity hoppy aroma, hints of caramel, vanilla, preserved yellow stone fruit. Taste is sweet-ish, minimally sugary, caramel malty, slightly spicy, minimally fruity hoppy, notes of caramel, vanilla, hundreds and thousands, hints of preserved yellow stone fruit, weak hop bitterness, minimally metallic overtones.
Dissolved sugar enriched, watery texture, smooth and soft palate, medium to fine, mildly prickly carbonation.
Imbalanced, sweet and sugary, a tad overspiced, supressed fruity hop flavours without a real chance to flower out - so-so.

Gold with a foamy head of modest duration. Fruity for a pils with green apple overtones. Grassy underneath with noticeable caramel, which is also unusual. Taste is moderate bitter with a sweet, caramel base underneath. Grassy, grainy finish. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, good chewiness. Goes down easy. Good.

Taste is sweet, caramel malty and slightly vinous, minimally citrusy, fruity hoppy, hints of white grapes, some gooseberry, orange, old orange peel.

Rather sweet, a bit insipid - not really convincing.

Bottle at home, courtesy of Koelschtrinker, thanks a lot! Pours copperish orange with an off-white head, uh-oh... Nose is light fruity notes and caramel with some honey. Taste is also rather light fruits and some caramel and honey. Painfully oxidized. Eh.

Bottle at home, courtesy of Koelschtrinker, thanks a lot! Pours orangeish golden with a white head. Nose is citruses and tropical fruits with a hint of pine. Tase is light to mid bitterness, showing fruity, citric and resinous notes and then closes with a resinous, fruity finish. Light to medium, somewhat dry bodied with an average carbonation. A nice lil west coast IPA, well done.

Bottle at home, courtesy of Koelschtrinker, thanks a lot! Kind of a gusher, pours copper with an everlasting, off-white head. Nose is oxidization, metallic notes, some caramel. Taste is oxidized hops with some caramel and biscuity notes in the background. Light bodied with a severe overcarbonation, hard to drink. 2 out of 3 of the brewery’s offerings were undrinkable, what a pity.

Amber with a fleeting, fizzing head. Aroma promises marshmallow, banana, mixed tropical fruits—all of it fairly low key. Taste is sweet the whole way through with the lactose dominant. Hops? No show. Lingering milk sugar on the tongue. Medium bodied, fizzy, one-dimensional. Not my idea of a good IPA.
