473mL can, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has some rotting stone fruits, overripe melon, a little citrusy, and sweet biscuity malt. Flavour is somehow much better, with resinous hops, some dank oils, light pine, green melon, and a sweet enough biscuity malt backbone. Not the most exquisite or refined flavour profile, but it ultimately all comes together pretty well. Pleasant.

473 ml can. Pours a reddish brown with bubbly head that settles quickly. Aromas of brown sugar, faint caramel and toasted malts. Flavors follow same with maple syrup finally coming out at the end. Pleasant and easy to drink but nothing memorable. Even for a scotch ale everything could be bigger.

473mL can, pours a hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma has some bready malt, but not much in the way of grassy hops. Flavour is a little more expressive of the grassy, spicy hops, but with a fat bready malt base that drowns out the Saaz. Just needs a boatload more hops for this to be remotely convincing. As is, it’s a pleasant, generic bready lager of some sort. Meh.

Poured from 473mL can. Very dark brown with beige head. Ashy roast malt with feint sugars, thin and too ashy. Meh.

473mL can. Pours a dark amber-brown with a beige head. Mostly light maple sugars on the nose. Flavour has tons of maple syrup, light to moderate sweetness, some stale bready malts underneath but not very much. Pretty one-note with not much depth. I like maple syrup, but as a scotch ale I think this falls short.

Golden-amber, thick head. Bright, minty, mandarin and rambutan. Lots of bitterness, clean biscuity malt base. Leans towards that same mint/citrus. Solid work. We need more of this type of thing around here.

473mL can, pours a cloudy golden with a medium white head. Aroma has plenty of citrus, light lacto, and light hay. Flavour is pretty lemony, with a nice citrusy character, light hay, gentle lacto, and some mineraly notes. Pretty legit Berliner here. Nicely made.

Slight haze, a bit of acetaldehyde. Yeah, this one is an appley, buttery mess. Meh, fuck that.
