Can. Bright amber with a good inch of near white head. Fairly gentle aroma of wafty, fumy citrus, hints of tropical fruit and pine, creeping caramel.7+ Then it's all that upon a swig, just a bit more brazen. Barely medium bodied. Moderate sweet. Mixed toppy citrus gives way to pine tinged breadcrust and a clean bitter finish. Not a lot of depth (or character) for 9% but it's very good. And such is the sub-style, I guess. Dangerous lack of obvious alcohol.

Can. Pretty much black with a 2cm brown head that fades fairly quickly. Roasty aroma with bitter chocolate, boozy vanilla, strong bread, licorice. Drier than guessed with prominent roast that's verging on acrid and Dutch licorice, chocolate and vanilla. Almost too bitter at the end, but not. People who like stout with an icecream/ cake in it will not like this one.

A below-average NEIPA that lacks punch. It does start interestingly with aromas of grass, coriander, apple and pineapple and a bit of orange peel. It all boils down to those grassy, citrus notes in the mouth. It lacks length and is a little watery.

Always a bit suspicious when something has hoppy pilsner on the label. I mean, yes? Can. Pale, lurid yellowish orange with a good inch of white head that collapses. Aroma of lemon and lime, crackers, mild spices. Clean, with light - almost scant - malt and fairly punchy citrus and bitterness. A little empty in the middle but tasty enough. Are these hops OK for a pilsner? I dunno - they don't dovetail but it's fine.

Can. Clear pale amber with a 2cm white head. Refined yet still punchy aroma of mixed citrus and pine needles, very light breadcrust & red berries. Dryish with almost spicy resinous notes, less citrus than suggested by the aroma. Clean with moderate bitterness (much less than these sorts of things used to have). Perhaps doesn't quite offer enough for its strength but classy stuff.

Can. Amber with an off white head that lasts a little while. Aroma of biscuit and crusty bread, some spices. Briefly rich but not really sweet with caramel and biscuit notes before firm, lightly spiced bitterness. Very well balanced. Good.

Can. Very slightly unclear amber with an inch of white head. Aroma of kumquat, grilled grapefruit, light breadcrust. Hardly sweet but a little bit of caramel and firmish bread under mid to high register citrus. Bleeds into a somewhat resinous bitter finish. My understanding was that these folks are known for their hazy hoppy beers but I've liked everything else more. This is right up my street.

Oh, yes. An excellent oat cream DIPA. Aromas of oat, cream, grapefruit and mango. A lovely creamy mouthfeel with a nice citrus bite, but nothing too crazy. Beautifully balanced.

Lovely Oat Cream DIPA. Aromas of grapefruit, cream, lemon and mango. Nice creamy mouthfeel with a punchy but not overwhelming hop finish.
