Light gold pour with a small white head. It’s grainy with slight citrus and minimal hops. It’s easy drinking certainly,m and crisp enough, but I prefer more flavor. To be fair, this style doesn’t usually do it for me.

Pours near black with a small light tan head. Smells of chocolate mint. The flavor has chocolate front and center with mint apparent but not as strong. It’s not terribly sweet, tasting more like dark chocolate. Roast malt. Nice hops bite in the finish.

Pours hazy pale yellow with a very small white head. Very mild aroma of tart fruit. The flavor seems more citrus than plum, which is surprising. Mildly tart. Light bodied.

Pours hazy pink with no head. Smells of berries though not exactly fresh somehow. The flavor is mildly tart with berries and light malt. Not bad. It’s just rather mild all the way around. Caught a slight off flavor in the finish.
