Brewery draught, 11/13/22. Undetermined clarity, dark mahogany. Light tan head slowly to ring. Lots of ash, char, light salt and a good deal of oxidation. Can get a bit of cherry from it and there's lots of vanilla and spice. Not much in the way of sweet malt, but it's not boozey, so that's not necessary. Soft, malty, but incredibly highly attenuated, to the point that it's just too dry, roasty, ashen and bitter. Oxidation, moderate barrel character with a pleasant, fruity cherry character.

Brewery draught, 11/13/22. Moderately hazy, blonde-brass-golden, small, white head. Fruity, juicy, yeasty nose, clean, no resin or alcohol with moderate malt sweetness (honey, cookie). Soft, fruity, malty, well-attenuated. Moderate juiciness, quite low bitterness. Straightforward, low-bitterness, yeasty example with moderate hop character. Not memorable, but very competent.

Brewery draught, 11/13/22. Lightly hazy brass-blonde, small, off-white head. Big pepper, banana, vanilla and light wax. Weird, like these Jovaru beers are. Low hop, very fruity, no booze. Soft, malty, dry, very fruity and spicy. Not too far from a typical saison though here there's more banana and clove-like character than I'd prefer. Good maltiness.
