Has cloudy yellow body and okay foam. Aroma is an okay kind of citrus, some bitter hops that aren't really helping. Taste is smoky grain, soft hops, odd bitterness and lingering smoke which isn't right. A flawed hefe, needs serious work.

Purplish and hazy, thin head. Sort of tart, then sweet with vanilla. Vague berries and then it finishes with quite a bit of bitterness. Not really coming together for me.

Dark brown, nitro foam. Light acidity and toast. Juicy. I’d love a little extra something on the palate…ok this is something to pint not sip from a taster but even then…it’s almost too on the mark, capturing the emptiness of the modern Irish stout. Slava Ukraina.

Cloudy and pale with a thin head. Mellow bitterness, really phenolic. Some of those phenols are appropriate and some maybe not so much (bubblegum ok, burnt plastic not so much).

Opaque and pale, with a decent head. There's quite a bit of peach on the nose. Very tart, sharp, with a little bit of peach sweetness but yeah, this is a bit too sharp. The peach needs some sugars to help bring balance and brighten the fruit.

Pink smoothie kind of colour. no head. Stylistically appropriate but that doesn't mean I think it looks good. I don't. It's got quite a bit of bitterness, although less in terms of hop aromatics. The raspberry is more subtle, and I don't get any of the sorbet character (however they're interpreting that). It's not bad because the fruit is balanced, but that's quite a bit of apparent bitterness for 20 IBUs.

Gold colour, thin head. Light hop fruitiness (berries) and mellow bready malt on the nose. Toasty notes on the palate, medium body, off-dry, a bit appley and there's some tartness. Basically whereas it smells good and lagery, it tastes like the lumbar support in this beer is lacking. I wasn't expecting Herman Miller, but oof.

Opaque. Thin head. Big weedy aroma, a bit of allium. Okay, more than a bit. It's a sulphur bomb. Nice and assertive. Medium body up front but it finishes closer to off-dry as there's not enough residual sugars, honestly. It's good, but the balance isn't quite right...that base could be rounded to handle the hops a bit better.

Gold. No head. Looks very apple juice. Tastes like slightly carbonated apple juice with alcohol. So, eating apples. Tart and simple. I guess they wanted to brew one, but there's so many good cideries around...just slap some Nomad on tap and be chill.

Sort of a dullish colour, maybe a hint of pink, and a thin head. On the nose, a mix of the three fruits, with the strawberry coming through decently. More strawberry than anything else on the palate. Quite tart. A bit of passionfruit and lime, but does the extra strawberry make it better? Not sure about that.
