Pale, some haze. Medium head. Bright hop with peach and pear notes. Fruity, stewed peaches, pear, lychee, big fluffy malt, lots of alcohol. Damn good for style. Balanced bitterness.

Pale, very slight haze, tart, some lemon, finishes somewhat saline. Basic gose, seems like kettle sour, which is suboptimal.

473 ml can. Pours a very dark brown with light head of big bubbles. Aromas of chocolate syrup, cherry liqueur and slick roasted malts. Flavors of kirsch/alcohol, dark chocolate, straight sugar, a bit of vanilla, and oily roasted malts. Alcohol forward; needs a bigger malt base with additional chocolate and vanilla to meet the mark.

Dullish gold. Medium head, but it died fairly quickly. Medium bitterness, some cheesy saazy stuff in there, which is a problem because it's Nelson and Rakau. This must be a museum piece. Malts are okay, the bitterness isn't bad. Wish I'd have found this one a bit fresher.

473 ml can. Pours a dull gold with moderate head. Aromas of lupulin powder, melons, soft pine and biscuity malts. Flavors of melons, pine, a bit of spuce, pithy citrus and almost doughy malts. Not getting the advertised crispness, but tasty.

473mL can, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma has a nice grassy and piney hop character, some oiliness, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is much the same, with grassy hops, piney hops, light oily resins, and a crisp biscuity malt base. Clean, crisp hop expression, and well-constructed overall. Excellent.

473mL can, pours a mostly clear golden with a medium white head. Aroma is somewhat grainy, with toasted bready malt and a touch of grassy hops. Flavour is clean, with plenty of straw and toasted grains, finishing with a hint of bitterness. Clean and easy. Decent.

473ml can. Pours a hazy yellow gold with yeast particles that sink to the bottom and a medium, foamy, short lived, white head that leaves soapy curtains of lace. Mild sweet aroma of bready wheat malt, grapefruit, earthy yeast and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, grapefruit, guava, mango and floral hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with an oily to watery texture and soft carbonation. Easy drinking.
