Slightly unfiltered, bigger bubble carbonation, lighter golden colour with a white cap, good stay and leaving foamy lacing traces. Big orange aromas with the peel, and some juiciness, coriander notes. The taste is where is shows a touch of lower alcohol, not being as strong, but still pretty tasty. Gets hazier as it pours with some small particles floating around. Quite a nice lower alcohol witbier that still packs a punch.

Hazy golden colour with an amber hue, an off-white frothy head, decent stay and lots of soapy-foamy lacing left. Citrus aromas with the nectarine-peach soft notes, a mix of tropical fruits and hints of melon. The mouthfeel has good building dryness in the finish with citrus zest lingering. Flavours of all that is found in the nose. Nothing too punchy, not too sweet (as expected to be a bit more), but lots of citrusy zestiness.

Can that pours a hazy golden colour, with an amber hue, a frothy white cap, good retention and thick foamy lacing around. Aromas are a little vinous with herbal notes (a tad coriander), then lots of citrus notes (juices and mild zest). The mouthfeel is juicy-wet with some slow building, mild dryness. Again, good citrus in the flavours with a tad herbal hoppiness. At last pour, a bunch of hop particles come out, clouding the brew. The Nelson Sauvin does not stand out here, but blends with all of the other hops, making this a good hazy NEIPA.

Hazy golden colour with an orange hue, a bubbly, warm-white cap, average retention and some light lace, but a nice coating on the brew. Lime juice, zest aromas giving a touch of sourness, with some biscuit malt in the background. The biscuit malt base is felt a little more in the taste, giving that pie crust flavours. The lime taste gives some puckering notes that last a while. Hints of coconut do come out eventually. A pretty decent Key Lime Sour.

Lightly hazed, golden colour with a white frothy head, decent stay and mostly a bubbly ring left. Beautiful herbal aromas with cilantro notes, blended nicely with citrus zest. Also, the carbonation is very nice, with tiny bubbles, active and well. The taste has the continuation of the herbs, mild grassiness and a touch of lemon zest. Some decent bite to it, and mild bitterness. Maybe a tad piney note. Dryish, but also fairly wet refreshing. Not sure about the West Coast style so much, but a real damn good zesty-herbal IPA.

Hazy, golden-orange colour with a pink hue. A nice warm-whitish cap stays averagely and some soapy lacing spots are left. Fresh purée aromas of passion fruit and guava with herbal hoppiness, sourness. This continues into the taste, milder, with the fruits, herbs, sourness and light tart. Not a puckering sour fruit beer, but the fruits seem legit.
