Light amber, just a bit thin. Touch acidic, light phenols, dash of alcohol. Doesn't come together all that well for me.

On tap at Hopwired, pours a clear dark chestnut brown with a small beige head. Aroma is somewhat estery, with candied sugar, earthy coffee, dark fruits, and some bubblegum. Flavour is fairly nutty, with red fruits, earthy coffee, and candied sugar. Earthy, sugary finish with lots of toasted chestnut. Pleasant, albeit too sugary.

Listed on their beer menu as Double IPA at 8.0% abv and no other information on hop profiles but this listing looks closest. The aroma is lots of fruit notes, citrusy, passionfruit for sure. Has a milky orange body with minimal foam. Flavour is nice fruit hops, good passionfruit notes. Mouthfeel is full with hints of chalk and chunky hops. There's well hidden alcohol, this is a decent big IPA.

The aroma is reasonably bright hops and some piney sweetness, has okay foam on a clear yellow body. Flavour is nice bright hops with good sweetness. Mouthfeel is full with decent oiliness. This is a nice IPA, well made.

Okay pilsner hops on the nose, has clear yellow body with modest foam. Flavour is semi-sharp pilsner hop notes. Mouthfeel is full but the carbonation could be sharper. A mediocre pilsner.

The aroma is nice bright citrusy sour hops, has milky yellow body but almost no foam. Flavour is good bright sweet hops, nice pine and citrus character, doesn't seem very sour though. Mouthfeel has great oiliness and still refreshing. This is a decent IPA but honestly missing the sour element.

Muddy brown body with no head, smells of soft brown sugar and malt. Flavour is all weak brown sugar. Mouthfeel is full anyway. This is very average, highly forgettable.

Vague soft malt and hops, rather subdued. Okay medium clear copper and little head. Flavour is subdued maltiness, simple hops, alcohol is invisible. Full mouthfeel. Uninteresting save for the fact that the high alcohol is invisible with the exception of a nice warming effect.

Nice light amber body though poured with minimal head, soft peppery grains on the nose though they come across kind of flat. Flavour is sweet spicy saison, though not very bright. Okay carbonation but otherwise a pretty mediocre saison.

Nice sweet hops on the nose with vague foam and a clearish yellow body. Flavour is bitter, wetness is nice but the bitter mango dominates. Not sure what part of the mango they used, but I'm not a fan of the bitterness. Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, the play was okay.
