2/24 iteration. Kind of a mess. Has some juiciness for sure, but the base is just a blurry, sort of lifeless mess. Respectable hop depth, but no balance or finesse in sight.

16oz can. A pinch odd, but perhaps that is just the hop tone. Clean and relatively simple, but some odd earthy tones from the hops. Doesn't really nail it.

16oz can. Modern US version of the style...doesn't have the bitterness of a Cologne beer. Still has a nice doughy malt backdrop, pleasant new school hop tone. Decent balance, certainly drinkable. OK.

16oz can. Pretty right on Belgian Christmas beer...albeit sort of a golden version. A little estery and bright compared to a more malty, heavy Belgian example. Nice flavor sort of, but the mild hairspray tone is too much for me to want a second of it too.

16oz can. Perhaps more of a Rye Weizen than a true Dunkelweizen. Rye definitely fleshes it out. Interesting intereplay with the banana yeast tone. Good.

16oz can. A lot of fruit depth, captures a nice Sangria profile. Perhaps a little more drinkable than other Grape Ales I have had from them. Pleasant berry/grape tone. Good.

16oz can. Not really as juicy or delicate as I would expect from a galaxy-lead beer. Nice balance, decent bitterness. All around enjoyable IPA.

16oz can. Was excite about the Nectaron, but I found the hops to be quite muted and redundant with the grapes. OK for the odd style it is still, just not my favorite iteration....a little bland.

16oz can. Pleasant enough lager, perhaps not rich enough malt tone for an Oktoberfest...the hops are a little different than typical with the Arianna..adds some fruity touches. OK.

16oz can. Bright and a little juicy, with a nice toasty malt backdrop and some mild balancing bitterness. Right next door to NZ Pale. Good.
