Pour is a dark brown/amber with a large mocha head. Aroma is toasted malt and a little fresh roasted coffee. Flavor is all things minor. Some minor roasted malt with a minor coffee and a minor sweetness. I don;t know what they were going for with a roasted pilsner but this was kind of weak.

Pour is a cloudy gold with a large white head. Aroma is yeast funk, vanilla and a orange peel hop. Flavor is pretty much the same. A decent yeast esters and orange peel hop. Finish is wheat malt and gone quickly.

Pour is a crystal clear copper with a large white head. Aroma is a little toasted malt and a little sweet malt. Flavor is likewise. Just enough roasted malt and a minor sweetness with a super dry finish. This was spot on with no flaws.

Pour is a clear amber with a large tan head. Aroma is sweet caramel malt with some rye bread. Flavor is more of a semi sweet caramel with some dry toasted wheat bread at the end. A little more body and flavor than a Killian's red.

Pour is a murky brown with a very large white head. Aroma is an ok berry hop. Flavor is more of a honeymalt and very little of the hops show up. This was an ugly pour out of the can and it did not improve much after that.

Pour is a hazy straw with a large white head. Aroma is a pretty good mix of banana and clove. Flavor is a pretty much spot on hefe. Banana and clove with a chewy wheat malt. The mouthfeel may be a bit thin but everything your looking for in a hefe is here.

Pour is a clear gold with a large white head. Aroma is sweet corny malt with limes. Flavor is super sweet with very little lime making it past the sweetness. This was way too sweet for this light of a lager.
