473 ml can. Pours black with full dark tan head. Aromas of dark chocolate, vanilla, creamy hazelnuts and roasted malts. Flavors of chocolate syrup, caramel, acidic nuts, and dry roasted malts. The hazelnuts may be a bit strong, but they do balance out some of the sweetness. Overall quite good.

473mL can. Pours hazy pale blonde with a white head. White grape juice and an herbal, musty character on the nose. Flavour comes off drier than the nose with the grape juice being pretty attenuated, lots of grassy herbal notes. Body is soft and wheaty; decent carbonation. Simple, but pleasant and enjoyable.

473ml can. Pours a hazy blonde with a small, foamy, short lived, white head that laces. Aroma of wheat, rice, white wine, funky yeast and lemon. Sweet fruity flavour of wheat, rice, lemon peel, honeydew melon, white grape and funky yeast in a dry, tart finish. Light body with a watery texture and average to lively carbonation. Interesting and easy to drink.

473mL can. Pours very murky dull yellow with a white head. Orange, dull mangos, and some pith on the nose. Flavour has lots of orange pith and overripe tropical fruit; quite bitter on the finish. Not a fan.

Dark brown. Thin head. Excessive hazelnut aroma, seems artificial, on the palate it’s actually more a fat bourbon, lacking refinement. Damn. The base isn’t bad, light dark sugars and a touch of roast, mild hazelnut overtop, but a really heavy-handed bourbon treatment. It does all the things, and doesn’t do them badly, but doesn’t do them well either.

This is a salted caramel imperial porter. Not bad…some artificial caramel but tastes good in context with the roasty and slightly fruity base.

Rich gold, thin head, light fruity hop, full pale malt, good body. Oh, this is right on for Bavarian pils, despite the apparent Hamburg reference. I like it.

Medium amber-brown. Light toasty, some fruitiness, spruce needle accents, this is fine but it does have a “cask is about to turn” vibe to it.

473mL can, pours a clear golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma has some white grape juice and a sort of herbal character. Flavour is much drier than expected, with dry white grape and soft wheat. There’s not much going on here, but it’s clean and drinkable enough.

Poured from 473mL can. Clear-ish dull blonde gold with minimal white head. Simple wheat ale with some very feint grape juice, also has a hint of fuzzy peach candy in there, a bit odd.
