Amber, bright -indeed just a nice, deep colour that gives off warm vibes, like drinking around the fire on a chilly Tucson winter evening. That is just an evocative colour. Such a rich malt aroma -this could be German. It has been a long fucking time since I smelled that -lagers are back in style and most breweries can'�t make them well, but this smells like fresh baked bread pro level. On the palate it doesn'�t follow through quite as much but it'�s still pretty good. Nice malt sweetness, moderate bitterness, all good, just not as amazing as that aroma.

Light brown, nutty and a bit thin, so perhaps not the balance I prefer, being fairly sweet and simple.

Bright, amber, not much head. Piney hop, slight lemon balm, medium bitterness, light biscuity accent. Nailing the malt here. Hops have a subtle complexity.

Opaque and pale, not much head. Hop nose is spicy, grapefruity, soft malt base, some stone fruit accents. Not bad.

Billed as an EIPA, has a pale amber colour, slight haze, not much head. Toasty aroma, biscuity malts and a leafy hop note. More of an American yeast character but you could make the case for an English malt/hop dynamic.

Pale amber, some haze, thin head, could look better. Balanced tartness, lemony and bright. Clean. Well balanced.

Shared by explosivedog: pours reddish with whitish head. Aroma is hibiscus and raspberry. Sweet with plenty floral hibiscus notes.
