Can from the brewery. Pale golden pour, with a medium white head. Aroma is vegetal, light apple, pale cereals. Pretty basic stuff, nothing to see here. Run of the mill, exactly what you'd expect for a light lager. Not bad, not awful.

Can from the brewery. Pours a hazy brown, with a small off white head. Aroma is pale malts, light nuttiness, with some grassy hops. Its lacking a distinct fuggle, or golding hop aroma you would expect in an english ipa. This just seems to be a dialed back version of a regular ipa. Grassy, lightly citric hops, light toffee, and pale cereals. Meh.

Can from the brewery. Pours a cloudy orange, with a large white head. Aroma is musty cereals, and weird musty citrus. Mouth feel is ok, carb is very soft, almost flat. Low to medium bitterness. There is zero brightness to this, no tropical notes, just musty citrus fruit, and bland cereals. not good.

Can from the brewery. Can claims this is a light summer beer. Kinda of a cider beer hybrid, a light apple flavoured beer. Tastes of cheap cereals, and cheap apple flavouring. Finish is too sweet, any likeness of beer fades away quickly. avoid.

Can from the brewery. Dark, black pour, with a medium mocha head. Aroma has some good roasty notes, light coffee, and cocoa, with a touch of soy. Mouth feel is silky, and carb is smooth. Medium bitterness, roasty, coffee, and a soft fruitness lingers. decent.

Can from the brewery. Hazy light yellow, with a tiny white head. Aroma is random fruintess.....plum? i guess.....maybe? yeah, sure.
Wet paper, a touch of lactic tartness, and a little lemon. mouth feel is thin, carb is soft and watery. Finish has a hint of tartness, this is by far not a sour, and barely any fruit can be found.

Can from the Brewery. Dark copper pour, with a small beige head. Aroma is very malty, lots of toffee, light roasty cereals, some caramels, and light apple notes. Mouth feel is nice, carb is standard. Finish is medium bitter, some resinous hops, spruce and pine are the main stays. light fruit, good cereals, toffee and caramels round it all out. Not bad.

Can from the brewery. Hazy orange pour, with a large white head. Aroma has some nice citrus notes, soft berry, and a distinct smoothie banana note also. Mouth feel is pretty standard, carb is soft. This is lacking the full, silky, creamy mouth feel you would get from most milkshake ipas. Its also lacking that vanilla note also. The finish is quite a bit more bitter than I expected. The fruit fades, and what is left is a citrus, banana smoothie flavour, with a little bit of sweetness, and a pithy grapefruit bitterness.

Can from the brewery.
Hazy orange pour, with a medium white head. Aroma has some nice tropical notes, with some solid citrus. Mouth feel is good, carb is spot on. Finish is a touch sweet, bitterness is around a medium. Light cereals, hops fade to just citrus oils, and some green hop cones. Decent.

Can from the brewery. Jet black, large dark beige head. Huge aroma of coffee, dark, burnt coffee, notes of vegetal pepperiness, light soy, hints of bitter cocoa powder. Mouth feel is thin for the style, carb is soft. Highly bitter, astringent, lingers in the back of my throat. Light pine, more coffee, quite good.
