Medium brown. Decently thick head. Thin and toasty like they don't understand the concept. I care not for dry, thin stout.

Murky amber, thick head. Yeasty amber with a slight smoke note? In a malt-forward amber I need the malt to be well-developed and the presentation to be cleaner.

Opaque, pale, with a thick head. Smells like some sauvin and citrus. On the palate, much the same. I like the kiwi/sauvin character, though the malts are a bit soupy and not great. There's a bit of grapefruit, too, but again, structurally not supported all that well.
