Can from Corti Bros. Pours bright gold with a transient white head. Aroma of pale fruit with some pale malt support. Med minus body. It's crisp and clean. Pale malt, pale fruits. Dry. Moderately hoppy. Moderately bitter. Nice.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours clear copper/amber with a head that seems beige. Aroma is slightly roasty malt with some citrus/pine notes. Med body. Flavor is hoppy, mostly citrus/pine, but there's a very light note of chocolate. Something I don't like in an amber. Still, it's heading towards dry, has a fair amount of hop, and is decently bitter. Overall it's quite drinkable.

500ml bottle from New Earth Market. Dark brown, small beige head. Aroma is roast and chocolate. Taste turns a bit sweet, more chocolate and very mellow barrel notes. Not super strong, a bit dry, but very flavorful.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours bright, clear gold with a large foamy white head. Aroma of citrus/pine and perhaps mango. Near med body. Flavor is floral and fruity - citrus and arguably mango. Finishes on a very bready note. Quite different sort of kolsch.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours bright copper with a somewhat beige head. Aroma of fruit with a resin backdrop. Some mildly roasty malt. Med body plus a little. Flavor is suggesting an earthy/dank mix. Hop seems mixed earthy/fruity/resiny. Quite mouthsmacking. Or even gobsmacking. Very dry for me. Touches of astringency. It's very different, but the flavor is potent!

Can from Corti Bros. Pours translucent dark, quasi-dirty gold. Cat pee is the first impression. Deep breath, exhale. Aroma is quite citrus with an impressive mandarin aspect. Med body or a bit more. Flavor is dank wannabe. Impressive mouth impact. Citrus. Mandarin aspects. Almost juicy. Almost dry. Lots of hop. Pretty dang bitter - tho not harshly, well, not very harshly, so. Lots of flavor impact here. Good stuff.

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours clear bright gold with a white head. The first absolutely clear milkshake ale I’ve seen! Mild red berry aroma. Med body. Flavor is very light dark cherry over a discernible caramel base. Nice, but hardly exciting.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours translucent gold with a foamy white head. Aroma of citrus and white berry. Med + body. Flavor is white berry, a little pale stone fruit, discernible pale malt, and perhaps a bit of citrus. Very light. Well towards dry. Pleasingly fruity. Sufficiently bitter. A good drink.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours translucent amber with a beige head. Roasty, malty aroma. Med body or nearly. Flavor is mostly malty, slightly roasty. Minimal, but detectable, hop. Not very dry, but drier than expected. Somehow there's enough hop to help; not much hop tho. Gets a bit earthy. Not my favorite style by far, but I'm trying to get past that. Better than oh so many ambers.
