Pour is a murky yellow with a small white head. Aroma is various fresh tropical fruit. Flavor is again various fresh squeezed tropical fruit. Almost no bitterness on the back end. I am way over hazy IPA's but this one was pretty good with a nice blast of fresh tropical fruity hops.

Pour is a dark copper with almost no head at all. Aroma is a nice toasted bread malt. Flavor is a nice mix of toasted grain and caramel malt. Leaves a little sweetness on the tongue. This was pretty good with a good combo of grain and sweet malt.

Pour is a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma is a small bread malt and corn. Flavor is a little more malty than I thought it was going to be. Finish is clean and light with minimal aftertaste. Better and more body than the mega brewers Mexican lager

Smooth, slightly roasty with sweetish and loads of barrel notes and oakiness, vanilla and umami chocolate. Nice.
