Fairly clean at first, with some haze coming at last pour, showing some nice unfiltered, golden colour. The head is white, decent lasting and leaving some creamy-foamy lacing. Cherry essences in the nose giving a touch of Cherry Halls losanges, and some minty hops. This continues in the flavours with a flat finish, leaving tart. A flavoured beer with cherry essences - seems to work a tad better than their apricot version.

Clean, golden colour with a white cap, average stay and decent lacing streaks. The nose is quite fruity, with the apricots and more - but more on the essences side of things. The taste shows the Witbier base, kind of bland, with the fake apricot and a chemical bitterness. It almost feels like the hops are the fake culprit, killing the essences. Shows a little unfiltered spices and light haziness at last pour. Nothing brutal, but not the original Cheval Blanc, back in the day.

A frothy off-white head on an orange/grapefruit juice coloured body. The nose pops with fresh citrus, a hint of fruit rind and soft malt. This is a refreshing beer with lovely fruity hop flavours - grapefruit, lemon, melon, and fruit rind. As others have noted, there is Belgian yeast and a touch of banana setting off the hoppy tastes. Caramel malt plays prominently. Hints of spice and pepper touch up the taste profile as well. Very nice!

Pours a honey gold colour with a full, fluffy white head. The nose is understated with sweet malt and hints of citrus and grapefruit. The taste profile leads with a fresh floral hoppiness supported by rich bready malt with a touch of caramel and some cereal background taste. Complexity is added by a candied fruit, balanced out by some classic pilsner dryness. The hops add bitterness as you work through the bottle. A significant but soft carbonation punches up this really tasty offering

Hazy orange pour, medium white head. Pale crackery malts, stale bread, very light sweet citrus. Light to medium bitternes, slightly sweet, floral pine resin hops with touches of citrus. A pretty weak boring ipa.

Slightly hazy pour, with a large white head. A strong, slightly sweet pale malt aroma with some really upfront resinous pine hops. Slightly thick, very full mouth feel, and a soft carb. The finish is lightly bitter, some alcohol phenols, pine, and grass, with some really nice, semi sweet pale cereals. A nice beer.

Clear copper pour, medium white head. Aroma is spicy, and piney, with some nice grains. A tad too sweet,but pleasant. The body is good, and the carb is fine. The finish is lightly bitter, with some really nice pine resin... Surprisingly good.
