Blonde, slight haze, fairly thick head. Bitter, resinous hops. Some alcohol late. Clean bready malt. Really nice balance here.

Medium brown and turbid. Thick head. Aroma is more to the caramel, some leafy hop, but also muddled yeast. Fairly toasty on the palate. Off dry… so I like that leafy hop note but the malts here are thin. This needs some sugars to bring it all together. I’d call it a porter they way it is.

Pale gold, alight haze, thick head. Herbaceous hop nose, a bit lemony. Clean pale malts, lean, fairly bitter and bright citruy hops. I like the sense of balance on this one.

Opaque, pale with just a bit of peach. Tart and refreshing. Mango is quite light but balances well with the base sour.
