A nut-brown beer with a light brown head. The aroma is of berries and caramel, while the flavor is malty in a sour way combined with light notes of caramel and a dry finish. And the body is thin opposite what the can says.

A yellow beer with a huge white head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of straw, but also light notes of hops, and the flavor is sweet malty with notes of straw. The body is thin, though the can states that it is full-bodied.

Huge, creamy offwhite head with some larger bubbles. Deep copper body with carbonation. Faint sweetish roasty malt aroma with notes of caramel, pepper, and hops. Harmonic sweetish, roasty malt taste with faint smoky notes and floral hop notes. Watery, caramelly aftertaste with traces of hops. Not bad, but maybe a little watery. (0.5l can.)

Raises a huge, creamy shiny white head. Clear copper body. Sweetish strawlike aroma with traces of floral hops. Taste is lightly bitter, milky straw with traces of sweetness and floral hops. Aftertaste is dry, peppery hops. Light-bodied. Soft mouthfeel. Not at all bad. I would prefer this over many beers with alcohol. Sampled relatively warm. (0.33l bottle.)

Raises big white coarse head over pale golden body. Strong rubbery aroma with notes of milk. Taste is crisp grain with hoppy, rubbery background. Chalky, mealy mouthfeel. Very thin and watery. Well, it could be worse. (0.33l bottle.)

[At RBESG 2006] An orange beer with a light orange head. The aroma is sweet malty with a light touch of butter - and so is the flavor.
