Hazy blond colour. Initially it has a strong smell that is almost like a fart, suldur, that fades quickly. Sharp but not excessive acidity, strong character from the grapes, vinous, asteingent, lightly funky, touch of apricot in the finish.
I like this a lot.

Red colour, bright, hazy. The aroma is funky, a bit farty, the fruit is strong, sour stone fruit, young red wine. Tart mouthfeel, but also so juicy, with a touch of funk, and dry astringent finish. Excellent.

Dark ruby/purple colour. Deep berry aroma. Dry mouthfeel, the lack of carbonation suits well, the acidity is less aggressive; strong berry flavour, a bit yeasty and cheesy in the finish.
Very good.

Ted colour, hazy. Gentle berry, but mostly the base beer is very nice, aggressively acidic but also astringent, mildly funky.

Cloudy golden colour. Sharply acidic and astringent, the cherry is present, although I think cherries perform better with some sugar, harsh barrel, light funk in the finish.
Good.

Attractive purple. Bubbly head. Solid berry accent to the nose, but also a good plum as well. Tart, nice plum character, and I like the gamay notes as well. Tannins...straddling the border between beverages. A lot of fun.

Purple colour, and a rich almost like a fruit port aroma. So I like the blueberry, and the fact that it reminds me of the port from Elephant Island is kind of cool.

Hazy, pale, umami, some wild notes, the grapes weave in and out but the structure is uncertain. Mild tartness, a bit salty...i like the grapey accent but not nuts about the underlying structure. This one I just am not sure about.

Hazy pale, nice menthol, minty, spicy, ginger honey...kind of fun. Vinous, the terps are an absolute hoot. Tasting one of my bottles and it’s great. I cannot wait for more terpene beers.
