Tap at the brewpub. Dark brown to shiny black with a tan head. Nose is dark chocolate, caramel, roasted malts. Flavor is sweet and dark, roasty, dark chocolate. Medium sweet, roasted finish. Light body. I would say it's closer to a Schwarzbier, or at least somewhere in the middle.

Tap at the brewery. Deep golden color and hazy. Nice fruity aroma, mango for sure, plus raspberry/blackberry, and bit funky too. Sweet and sour flavor with nice underlying mango, some berries too including seedy bitterness. A slightly funkiness to the fermentation doesn't fit just right.

Tap at the brewpub. Bright, blond, with a tall head. Bright citrus nose, Citra, Mosaic, tropical fruits galore, with biscuity malt. Somewhat sweet and very fruity, lots of orange and grapefruit and tropical fruit. Clean sweet malt. Very approachable and tasty. The most well dailed-in of the beers.

Tap at the brewpub. Medium to deep gold with a low head. Nice Cz hop aroma, Saaz I suspect, with rich bready malt and just a touch of DMS. Rich malt, crisp hop flavor. The brewer said he kegged it a bit early so we could try it and the carbonation was not where he wanted it. Agreed. Quite strong too, though it did not really feel like 6.2%. Nice. Just needs a bit more rest and some tweaking.

Tap at the brewpub. Medium amber color. Said to be made with the recipe or Ao-oni IPA. Nose is dark berries, citrus, caramel. Very bitter flavor, berries, grapefruit, malty, caramel, resin, medium sweetness. Similar to Ao-oni but more interesting and just a shade too bitter imo.
