Poured from nitro tap. Black with full beige head. Very coffee forward, creamy, like a better version of ugly sweater.

Poured from the tap. Clear-ish pale blonde with small white head. Light cracker malt, feint grass hops and a hint of lemon zest. Meh, at least it’s inoffensive.

Poured from the tap. Hazy gold with small white head. Seems to be their update on seedspitter. Watermelon, a bit of wheat quality, perhaps a feint hint of coriander in the background. Nothing wrong with it. Maybe it would have been better as a summer release, but whatever.

Poured from the tap. Clear blonde with small white head. Hint of lemon, some light esters, fairly clean, super boring.

A few sips stolen from the wife's glass at Cactus Club Station Square. Appearance: cloudy blonde with a white head. Aroma: some dankness and tropical fruits. Taste: along the same lines, somewhat watery. Finishes with a light hoppy bitterness. Overall: nothing special, ok for a 4.5% beer.

Dark brown colour when looked at an angle, but close to black overall, with small beige head. There seem to be some ale esters, it's less roasty and bitter than a German Schwarzbier, and it's a bit more earthy, so, in a blind tasting, I would have guessed Stout rather than Schwarzbier. Pleasant.

Blond colour, some gold too, cloudy, with medium sized compact head. This is a yeast bomb, it has loads of clove and some banana; it's moderately sweet, which I appreciate in a Hefeweizen, strong wheat character too, and the bitterness, although low, is not completely absent.
Pleasant.

Blond colour, hazy. Very mild aroma, crackers and grass. It's dry, crispy, with some crackery malts; the bitterness is a bit too low, and there is hardly any noble hop character.
It's clean, simple, pleasant.

Blond colour, ok, maybe just a bit darker than a pale lager, it's quite clean. Light aroma, a bit stronger flavour; bready malts, with minimal residual sweetness, so getting a bit away from pale lager territory, but the malt is quite anonymous, and the hop also doesn't add much (well, it's expected in a Festbier), but the bitterness is not too shy.
Decent.

Poured from the tap. Murky yellow with small white head. Feint herbal wood quality with quite mild tropical and berry hops, a little yeasty. Okay.
