Hazy golden colour with an orange hue. The head is big, frothy, whitish with good retention, leaving lots of dirty-sticky lacing. Orange and lemon peel aromas with citrus juices, mild oats, vanilla. The mouthfeel is fairly wet, with a little bite and light dryness. This one has Galaxy, Mosaic and Sabro hops. Nothing feels too strong, not even the alcohol. Almost like a NEPA. A refreshing, smooth-juicy NEIPA that goes down well.

Lightly hazed at first, golden colour with an amber hue. Big frothy, bubbly white head, good retention and foamy lacing streaks. Grassy aromas with alcoholic nose, with some citrus notes and the oats to blend some mild sweetness. The alcohol seems well-hidden in the taste, not warming too much, but some bitterness is felt. Citrus-herbal flavours with a nice juicy mouthfeel, not too much dryness. Orange zest lingers on the tongue. Gets hazier as it pours with particles. A good Double NEIPA with lots of hoppiness, but still enough juiciness to enjoy.

Can: Poured a clear light brown color ale with a medium foamy head with light retention. Aroma of caramel malt and light grainy notes. Taste is a mix of caramel malt flavors with some light grainy notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Better than expected but not something I would seek on a regular basis.

Beautiful fresh raspberry aromas coming out of this one. Fairly clean, amber-pink colour with golden highlights. The head is very nice, creamyish, long lasting and leaving lots of lacing. The taste shows a little sourness, but not too much. Fits really well the raspberries that feel natural and a tad tart is present, but not overly. Quite a nice low-alcohol fruity beer.

A little hazy at first with a golden colour and amber hue. A nice big frothy warm-whitish cap, good retention and creamy-foamy lacing left. Fruity, candy aromas with pineapples over the citrusy notes like lemon peel and herbal hints. The pineapple in the taste are milder, blending well with some decent grassiness, bitterness and dryness in the finish. Quite a good NEPA with lots going on, but all well-balanced.

Slightly unfiltered, light-golden colour with a bubbly white cap, leaving fairly quickly, but leaving some tad soapy spots on the glass. Fresh, herbal-grassy aroma over the sweet, straw malt base. The flavours has some spiciness in the malt, but all well-balanced with the herbal hops. Somewhat mildly dry in the finish, but refreshing overall. Another good brew in the style, that is showing up recently.

Fairly clean, mid-golden colour with a bubbly-soapy off-white head, good retention and some foamy lacing spots. Straw malt base with the cereal notes, and some mild, fresh herbal touch to balance this. The hops show up a little more in the taste, to cover the malts, giving again some nice freshness. The mouthfeel is wet with just enough dryness in the end. Quite a nice, easy-going, refreshing lager Kellerbier with well-balanced hops, local ingredients.

Hazy golden colour with an amber hue. The head is big, off-white, frothy, bubbly with long retention and full foam-web lacing. Lots of citrus peel, zest and juices in the nose. The mouthfeel is juicy, but the flavours are on the zest-peel side of mostly lemon, some oranges. A fairly dry finish. Quite a nice dry, zesty, lightly-juicy NEIPA.
