On tap at Buoy Beer Co., pours a clear golden copper with a small white head. Aroma is potent, with lots of skunky herbal hops and too much residual sweetness. Flavour is about the same, with too much sweet malt over-balancing the resinous skunky hops. Not a disaster but this, like many of their beers, is too sweet. Not great.

On tap at Buoy Beer Co., pours a clear dark orange amber with a small beige head. Aroma reveals notes of toasted nuts and light fruitiness. Flavour is fruity and nutty, with lots of residual sweetness. Not authentic at all, with too much residual sweetness. Not so good.

On tap at Buoy Beer Co., pours a clear copper with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out loads of weird spices and dextrose. Flavour is really off-putting, with loads of spices and artificial sugar. Not my thing at all - low drinkability.

On tap at Buoy Beer Co., pours a hazy golden orange with no head. Aroma brings out loads of skunky herbal pot-like hops. Flavour is exactly the same, tastes like pot was soaked in this. Decent stuff, but these are never my preferred IPAs.

On tap at Buoy Beer Co., pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out notes of roast and dry cocoa. Flavour is dull, with earthy notes, dry cocoa and toasted malts. Seems more like a porter or brown ale. Not too inspiring.

On tap at Buoy Beer Co., pours a crystal clear golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma of resinous hops, along with stone fruits. Flavour is full of fruity hops, some resin and residual sweetness. Under-attenuated like the last two beers I rated from this brewery, though this one isn't as bad. Okay.

On tap at Buoy Beer Co., pours a clear golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is way too sweet and medicinal. Flavour is the same - rather medicinal, sweet and dental floss like. Not good at all - something way wrong here.

On tap at Buoy Beer Co., pours a clear pale golden with a small where head. Aroma brings out floral hops, and a touch of fruitiness. Flavour brings out candied notes, along with caramel and floral hops. Too sweet for a pale ale. Doesn't seem attenuated properly. Not good.

On tap at Buoy Beer Co., pours a clear yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out musty notes, honey notes, and biscuity notes. Flavour is smooth, with creamy honey notes. Boring beer, but it's clean enough.
