Smells of sweet creamy orange and chocolate like the Christmas candies of old. Has great foam on top of an orangey brown body. Flavour is soft hops, hints of orange, nothing's too prominent. Mouthfeel is full enough. This smells and looks right but needs a more exciting flavour.

Smells of soft sweet cinnamon and sugar, has good foam on a muddy brown body. Flavour is a soft mix of ale and cinnamon. Mouthfeel is full and crisp. This is good and as advertised, though the flavours could be stronger.

Smells of good milky stout, soft cola, not prominent enough though. Has good blackish brown body with soft foam on top. Flavour is soft murky barley, vague cherry, not enough of anything really. Mouthfeel is full enough. This needs everything to be more prominent.

Tap. Unclear golden color with white head. Aroma is rosemary, tumeric, peach, light funk. Taste is the same. Oily mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Not bad, but very characteristic.

Smells of good fresh basil, some minty character as fresh basil sometimes has. Has a nice gold body with big white foam on top. Flavour is nice mellow sweet fresh basil and hop hints on the back end. Good oiliness on the mouth. This has great herbal character.

Has a nice aroma of fruity tannins, good cloudy gold body and white foam but it has little staying power. Flavour is nice passionfruit, good sweetness, but the balance of grain is missing. Full on the mouth. This is nice and drinkable on a hot day.

Smells of nice licorice and hops, works surprisingly well. Has big foam on top of a good yellow body. Flavour is hoppy with a licorice aftertaste, kind of works in some ways but not in others. Mouthfeel is crisp and full. They pulled this off adequately yet not spectacularily.

The aroma is a nice port character, all wood and sweet grape. Good brown body. Flavour is good red wine and sweet fruit, very much like a port. Mouthfeel is full and the abv is invisible. This is a great effort.

Draught at the brewery
Hazy blond colour. Huge watermelon aroma, strong watermelon flavour, sweetish, and as usual well integrated into the pilsner, although as unauthentic beer as it can be.

Draught at the brewery
Hazy blond colour. Very strong, nice passion fruit aroma. Very light sweetness, mild acidity, well blended with a smooth pilsner, but a bit of celery in the finish.
Weird and pleasant as usual.
