Bright, clean, red colour with a bubbly-soapy white-pinkish head, average stay and some decent foamy, sticky lacing. Blueberry aromas with a peppery touch. The taste shows the berries, but not on the sweet side, with some grassiness that bitters the beer, and creates a drying end. Kind of watered down fruit flavours, which feels like a 3% ABV, but it is not. Still, a refreshing, light-fruity, dry beer. Gets hazier at the last pour, and more potent.

Lightly hazy, golden-yellow colour with a big frothy white head, bubbling away averagely, leaving a few foamy lacing spots. Sweet wheat aromas with the mango blending in there, and some light citrus, grassy hops. A little more balanced and mild in the taste with all of the ingredients. A nice fruity, juicy but drying mango witbier.

Hazy, darker golden colour with a frothy-foamy white cap, long lasting with some good lacing spots. Pear, apple aromas with the straw malt base. The taste shows stronger flavours with the higher alcohol content for the style. Fairly sweet, rich with bananas, pear and apples. Some decent hops in the finish, but a little overpowering to have a few.

Cloudy, murky amber-ornate colour with a smaller head, and some light lacing spots. The aromas are of roasted malts, kind of coffee and some greener grassy hops. The taste continues this smoky, darker feel. The mouthfeel has a some dryness, but not a hopbomb for the style. Quite different for a West Coast IPA being hazier, almost like burnt orange in all aspects.

Hazy golden colour with a nice creamy whitish head, good retention and some foamy-creamy lacing. Pink grapefruit aromas at first, but some pineapple notes do come out. Eventually, citrus zest and the oat flattens the base. The taste shows more of these last two. A touch of citrus sourness. Light tart on the tongue. A refreshing, citrusy, hazy, dryish IPA, but seems to fall a little short in the end.

473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy pink-amber with a thin, fizzy, short lived, white head that fully dissipates. Mild aroma of grainy malt, blackberry yogurt and lacto. Sweet flavour of grainy malt, blackberry, lactose, lemon and faint vanilla in a dry, tart lacto finish. Light body with a thin, watery texture and soft carbonation. Meh, the blackberry seems artificial and the vanilla is almost nonexistent. Below average Sour.

Clean golden colour with a quick fizzed-out head with no lacing. Sour nose with some fruitiness. Some sourness in the flavours kicking in mostly in the finish. Tart lingers on the tongue. The blackberries and vanilla are quite mild in this brew. More of a wild ale with hints of vanilla and fruit. Gets hazier with very pour. An easy sour ale, but no more.
