very light pilsner. Slightly creamy. Low bitterness. Clean and refreshing and not poorly made but not something I will revisit.

Dark golden color. Toasted malts in the nose with some bitterness. Clean mouth, but the hops that linger at the finish are a bit strange, almost astrigent. Meh, not bad but not great.

Light-med brown color. Massively smoked nose with chipotle. Almost too much smoke. Big smokey mouth with chilli peppers creeping in. A bit too light body and not enough roasted malt, which makes it slightly off balance. Also it’s over smoked and too much chilli.

Dark hazy golden color. Frothy white head. Lightly hopped mouth. Clean, moderately bitter but not so distinguished mouth. Balanced and somewhat refreshing, but does t take me anywhere special.

Hazy yellow color. Big lemony nose with tons of peppercorn. The mouth is fairly light dry and hoppy like it should be, though just a bit off balance. Dry finish with the peppercorns lingering. The peppercorn are bit perhaps too much, but still enjoyable.

Very pale, slightly hazy golden color. Frothy white head. Huge hoppy nose of citrus, grapefruit, savingon blanc. Wonderful. Big tropical fruit salad jumps across the palate. light body, but like other beers, lacks bitterness. Slight sweet. Dry undistinguished finish. Could use more bitterness, but still enjoyable.

Hazy blood orange color. The koji comes through with slightly acidicness that reminds me of blood oranges. Malty, medium body with moderate amounts of acidity. Dry finish slightly lingering acidity. Decent.

Pale golden color. Almost no nose. Mouth has tons of watermelon and very resiny, but really lacks bitterness. Medium full body. Pleasently sweet. Fairly drinkable but more like a Belgian Golden ale than an IIPA.

Very nice dry hoppy nose with lots of pineapples and tropical fruits.the nose starts promising but the mouth isn’t as balanced as I would hop and the hoppiness in the nose isn’t delivered in the mouth. Mildly bitter finish.
