Cloudy yellow body with bad foam, lots of salty lime on the nose but too wet. Flavour is soft lime, saltiness, all too weak and watery. Quite tepid in all aspects.

Murky brown body and minimal foam. Boozy fusel alcohol aroma, slight caramel, rather offensive. Flavour is smooth caramel, soft biscuit. Smooth and warming finish. Simple and smells bad but tastes okay.

Murky brown body and very modest foam. Nice cherry and malt on the nose, like a black forest cake. Flavour is tart cherry, sharp biscuit notes, melloe caramel. A little thin on the finish. This would work well with just a bit more dark grain influence.

Medium yellow body and modest foam. Soft sweet pine on the nose, some lemon zest. Flavour is piney peach, more zest. Smooth and oily, temperate cask. Casual and all right.

Dark brown body and okay foam. Soft light biscuit on the nose, quite mediocre. Flavour is soft biscuit, brown sugar. Smoith with lingering caramel. Mild indeed, a little muddled.

On cask at Smugglers' Trail, pours a cloudy bright yellow with a small white head. Nose is wheaty, with gentle apricot upfront. Flavour is fruity, with a soft, gentle apricot character, atop a soft wheaty body. There's not much depth, but the palate is above average on carbonation and the fruit mixed well with the malt. Drinkable.

On tap at Smugglers' Trail, pours a clear dull amber brown with a small beige head. Aroma is pretty gentle, with bready malt and some earthy notes. Flavour is laid back, with earthy bready malt dominating. Not much to this here. Pretty uninteresting.

On cask at Smugglers' Trail, pours a clear golden / bronze with a small white head. Aroma reveals bready malt and some diacetyl. Flavour is along the same lines, with bready malt, a touch of caramel, some bittering hops, and traces of diacetyl in true English cask style. It's not great, but it's drinkable. For a cask English pale, it needs a softer carbonation. Alright.

On tap at Smugglers' Trail, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma seems very hoppy for a kolsch, with a west coast piney hops character upfront and crisp crackery malt. Flavour is likewise quite hoppy for a kolsch (yes, this is the right beer), with biting, bitter piney hops, straw, and crisp crackery malt. Biting and crisp. This is a much more interesting kolsch than most out there. Good stuff.

On tap at Smugglers' Trail, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma is fairly grainy, with cereal malt and straw. Flavour is clean, with straw and cereal malt. Not much to this. It's rather seltzery. It's alright.
