Fairly clean, golden colour with a big off-white head, decent stay and some nice foamy lacing left. A little spicy Pils-like nose at first, but then hints of wheat-banana, orange peel with the coriander comes out. The taste is lightly fruity with a cereal touch in the background. A crisp mouthfeel with a little sting-dryness in the end. Gets hazy near the end with some particles floating around. The oranges come out a bit at this point, but nothing too punchy. An easy-drinking, smooth Witbier for those who might fear orange peel and coriander in a beer.

Thanks to PaleAleRider for the birthday mixed 8-pack from this brewery. This one pours a clean, mid-golden colour with a white cap, decent stay and leaving nice foamy-soapy lacing streaks. Hay aromas with cereal maltiness and hints of medicinal plastics. Mild cereal malts in the taste with a touch of hoppiness, mineral notes and a tad corn lingering. A decent, crisp, light lager that still has enough to offer.

Does not list oats in the ingredients - just Barley ?? Listed as an oatmeal stout on the can. Looks pretty clean. A darker brown colour with ruby-copper highlights, a fizzier beige head that lasts a tad longer than expected with the fizziness, but no lace left. Decent aromas of roasted malts giving notes of chocolate, coffee, caramel and hints of licorice. The flavours are mostly the roasted barley showing a bit of dark fruits, molasses. The mouthfeel is quite thin, almost reminding me more of a Schwarzbier. Not quite was I was expecting, but still very drinkable.

Thanks to PaleAleRider for this one, for my 50th. Clean, amber colour with golden highlights, a warm off-white head, decent stay and good sticky lacing. Mild grassiness in the aromas with a light caramel malt base. The grassy hops really show up in the taste with some good bitterness, and dryness in the finish. A pretty good hoppy West Coast-American style that has good kick for just 4.8% ABV.

Thanks to PaleAleRider for this one, for my birthday bash. Clean, light golden, a white head that lasts a while and leaves some decent spots of lacing. Got a fresh Pils nose at first with the spicier malts, but grassier hops took over quickly. The taste is a better balance between those, with some mild sweeter malts base and a herbal touch, spiciness. Not syrupy in the mouthfeel, but fairly crisp with enough dryness. Quite a good Pilsner in the end, with good drinkability, but also not too light.

Thanks to PaleAleRider for this one for my 50th. A fairly clean (gets a slight haze later), golden-amber colour with a bubbly white cap, average stay and a nice foamy ring is left, with some small lacing spots. Some good lightly darker malts in the nose with cereal notes, hints of rye, caramel and light hops. Flavours of caramel malts with a touch of hops to balance things. The mouthfeel is on the lighter side, but still has bite. A nice easy-drinking, straight Pale Ale.

Clean, slightly darker amber colour with a warm, light-beige frothy head, decent stay and good foamy-creamy lacing. Toasted maltiness in the nose with some caramel notes, cereal grains and a tad grassy hops. The malty taste is a little richer, sweeter, but thankfully - the hops do cut that quick enough. Not a bad amber ale.

Thanks to PaleAleRider for this birthday can, pouring a light haze with tiny, transparent particles, a white cap and some decent foamy lacing. Beautiful aromas starting with floral notes, then peach-nectarine stone fruits and a touch of grassiness in the end. The mouthfeel is a little thinner than expected, with a little dryness in the finish. The taste shows melon flavours with some mild citruses and stone fruits. Gets a little hazier, but still not like the style in a can. Seems better on tap. Not a bad NEIPA, but seems like the Citra is a little hidden, and the oats - not present.
