Huge lemon and coriander on the nose, muddy gold body with tiny foam. Flavour is cinnamon, coriander and cigarette ash. Mouthfeel is a little watery. Disjointed.

Lots of lime juice on the nose, not much key really. Has a muddy cola brown body with soft foam. Flavour is cinnamon and sugar and lime, none of it working very well together. Mouthfeel is full enough. This seems hastily assembled, Storm can do better here.

The aroma is soft plums, comes across like brett yeast though I don't think that's in here. Has good foam on top of a brownish purple body. Flavour is sour plums and more sharp yeast. Reasonable crispness on the mouth. It's okay, plenty of acid from the plums in this one.

There's big chai cinnamon on the nose, has a muddy brown body with good creamy foam. Flavour is plenty of cinnamon and malt. Mouthfeel full with a sharp cinnamon aftertaste. It's okay, but nothing is really coming together here.

The aroma is very faint peach, too faint really. Has milky yellow body with barely any foam. Flavour is soft peach on top of a sweet pilsner. Mouthfeel is full. It's okay but too easy.

On tap. Pours a dirty amber with light head. Sweet strawberries and wet malts. I did not get the hit on strawberry shortcake I was expecting from Storm.

Smells of great cream soda, fresh and sweet. Has beautiful foam on top of a deep pink body. Flavour is sweet and full cream soda, nothing else though, can't pick out any pilsner notes. Mouthfeel is full. This fits the bill but is missing something to remind me it's beer.

Smells of soft coconut with vague lime and some cinnamon. There's great foam on top of a cloudy gold body. Flavour is mellow cinnamon and coconut with very little lime. Full on the mouth. It's missing some critical elements.

Has amazing fresh cucumber and jalapeno on the nose. Good foam is on top of a cloudy gold body. Flavour is spicy jalapeno and cucumber is working well in the background but still noticeable. There's a full lingering jalapeno spice as an aftertaste. This delivers as advertised, seems to be working better than the ale version.
