(bottle) Hazy amber with big white head. Lovely citrusy floral aroma. Medium body with excellent mouthfilling find carbonation. Flavour is dominated by hops, but in a good way. There are subtle undercurrents of malt, dried fruit and citrus. Nice bitter finish. Overall an impressive beer.

Strong fruity nose, apparently from the cherries but tended as much toward blueberry. Clear bright golden color with modest head, looks much like a lager in the glass, final pour from the bottle produced a slight cloudiness from the yeast, but there was only a small ring of dense yeast packed in the bottom of the bottle. Flavor tends toward a cherry-banana candy like fruitiness, I can almost taste the almond note listed in the description. Finish is clean but with a long lingering candy like fruity sweetness. Not sure if I care for it a whole lot but its definitely unique. Fairly nice medium bodied mouthfeel, nice soft carbonation.

Bottle. Dark brown with a beige head. Aroma of dark caramel and coffee. Taste has some chocolate as well. A little overcarbonated, but a swirl improves things and makes the lovely head return. Dries out at the end but only a slight spiciness suggests bitterness. Not really my sort of thing.

Bottle. Just hazy orange with a white head. Aroma of wheat, lemon sherbet, coriander, vanilla, banana. A little sweet with orange, tangy wheat and lemon, punchy coriander. Not sure that the higher alcohol does much beyond get rid of the welcoming soft mouthfeel of wits.
