Oh wow that is very artificial! Says natural aromas, but it smells extremely candy-like.
Yeah...this just tastes like a glass of cherry lollipop. There is some actual, real cherry character hiding underneath it, that you can taste on the finish, but they've pretty much bludgeoned it to death with the "natural" flavors. Like their other beers, though, it is a lot of flavor and an actual texture.

Smells VERY sweet. Maybe not cloyingly-so, but sweet nonetheless. Brown sugar galore with, perhaps, an eggy chocolate custard character. Nothing off-putting, low roast. Having not grown up in Quebec, I've never had a tart au sucre, but I can imagine this comes quite close, at least in the nose.
Oh wow, that's...interesting. And I think pretty well-done, if a bit heavy-handed on the lactose. There's a rich, yet somehow delicate chocolate-espresso character that balances the sweetness nicely. And yes, it's sweet, but not too much so, I don't think. Great coffee-like acidity balances, lactose gives a creamy character and wheat adds a bit of depth. Flavors are well-done, as seems to be the strength of Le Bazaar, and it's not a glass of thin seltzer, which is another strength of theirs. Would happily try more of their dessert stout series.

Smells a bit like the Miss Plemous in that it's mostly mango with not a lot of beer, but the mango is really well-done.
But quite different in flavor than Miss Plemous. This is lightly tart, yogurty as all hell and full of sweet, round, rich, well-done, real mango. Light malt beside it, as well as bits of lactic character. Hoping the Miss Plemous was an anomaly, because this is back to their A game. Excellent texture, not a thin, watery, overdry seltzery NA beer.

Surprisingly not soupy and chunky, but a light, almost clear (initially, I swirled it pretty vigorously to see if it would get soupy, but it didn't just a bit less clear) pink grapefruit flesh color.
Smells like pink grapefruit juice. Clear and authentic. There's a bit of malt sweetness on the very end, helping add strength to it, but it's not exactly berliner weisse-like.
Again, in the flavor, like the nose, good flavors of pink grapefruit juice (seems pretty authentic) but not really delving in to much beer territory here. There's little, if any, lactic acidity that you'd want from a Berliner, nor even much in the way of wheat. Just some rather sugary "malt" character that does improve the body alongside the wheat texture. So, not seltzery and thin, but much closer to a glass of grapefruit juice than a beer.

Nice mango juice character, though without any lactose, so it doesn't smell like a yogurt smoothie. Mild hints of lactic acid and some crusty, nutty wheat with an excellent, authentic passion fruit character and nothing weird going on.
Oooh yea...that's the stuff! Earthy, actual passion fruit juice. You can tell it's real because of the earthy mineral funk. Excellent acidity; probably the most I've encoutered so far from their smoothie sours. Body is reasonable. Not huge, but you don't need it to be. It's not thin, and there's good attenuation leaving gentle sweetness, but mostly tart fruit, chewy wheat and mild acidity lingering.

Well it looks like something out of Mortalis and the gang. Bubbly, fizzy, murky, ugly, smoothie-stuff. Nice.
Doesn't smell weird, just lactic acidity and fruit. Prominent blueberry with juicy stone fruit and low lactose character. No big acid and no sugar or strange things like soft serve ice cream.
Tastes like a fairly sweet blueberry juice puree drink. Could definitely be more tart/acidic. As is they've gone way too far down the "let's be careful not too make this sour a real sour" road and as a result it's too sweet. Sweet fruit smoothie juice with very, very low acidity. Pleasant in the sense that fruit puree is pleasant but very, very little beer character. Even with all that said, it's still better than the fizzy, seltzer sours that have zero depth/body that are the vast majority of NA beer brewing currently.

Smells like the other members of this series. I can't say I particularly get any extra dry hopping, nor can I pick out cryo ekuanot hops. That said, it's hoppy, it's fruity, it's juicy and it's aromatic with no weirdness going on.
In the flavor it's quite assertively hoppy, which is nice. Some earthiness, lots of yeast character and a lingering pine and grapefruit that is at least associated with Ekuanot. Really nice body to it, and proper sweetness to balance. Definitely the closest I've found to drinking a real IPA. But yeah, can't really say I can discriminate between the DDH El Dorado, TDH Cryo Ekuanot and base versions.

Nice and juicy with big yeast and light pineapple, as with the TDH Cryo Ekuanot version. Clean with mineral, actual malt notes and a reasonable, if somewhat tame hoppiness. But it's actual, modern, whirlpooled hops, not stale, bitter, overboiled hops.
Another excellent, hoppy beer from Bazaar that actually tastes of modern hops. Fruity, juicy with ample bitterness and not too much pineapple. Medium-to-medium-light bodied but with enough chew and sweetness to balance and provide for a satisfying drink. The pine, grapefruit and bitterness of the El Dorado works well here.

Well, I'm not going to lie, I'm very displeased that they've added frickin' xanthan gum, but like the other two beers I've had from them, I greatly appreciate all the effort they put in to actually trying to make a decent f-in NA beer. The pineapple particularly seems to augment the tropical, fruity nature of the beer without being overbearing. Actually smells like there's something there, too, with malt/wheat/oat or some such sugars.
Bitterness right away sets a great stage for the beer, while oat and wheat go to work on the mouthfeel. Actual hops galore here, with big citrus, pineapple and other tropical notes. Actual depth of texture, though still only medium-bodied, but there's so much flavor and ample bitterness that it mostly suffices. I had previously put Untitled Arts' IPAs at the top, but these are better. They lack the sweetness/sugariness of UA and there's more actual hop, as well.

Wow, that is...a lot of cherry. Is it authentic cherry? No, not quite. A bit closer to cherry candy and cherry cough syrup, but yet there's a slight meatiness and pastry crumble redolent of cherry pie that is quite compelling and hard to take your nose away from...vanilla, cinnamon, clove, graham flour...hell, at least there's no wort, seltzer, thin character and wondering if this is supposed to be a beer!
Rich, sweet, flavorful and full of cherry with a round, comforting, flavorful spice. Big malt and other grains to help bolster the body, leaving it feeling much, much more like a beer than pretty much any other NA I've had. Say what you will about the cherry, but it's next to authentic and isn't saccharine or cloying, nor syrupy. Hell, I could use even more sourness and spice. It's not really tart, though, but the spice and vanilla is prominent and enjoyable.
