Dark brown. Medium head. Aroma is all about the roast and pine. Bitter, off-dry, with just some toffee notes to balance some of the toastiness. Finishes with a whack of pine.

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.

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.
