6.8/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 5.5 Flavor 8 Texture 7 Overall 7
hazy yellow, small white head
strong grapefruity citrussy aroma, also a kind of weird herbal mouldy note, i've got no clear idea, gorgonzola cheese perhaps, or rotten milk. not super nice.. overall impression though is a strange sour beer with grapefruity hops sensation and it comes off much worse than it sounds. it's like.. not really sour beer aroma and not really hoppy grapefruity aroma, and i love both. the lacto is also in the way, doesn't fit in. bit of leather.

flavor works fine, sour beer, bit of leather, decent sour beer flavor with some oomph from grapefruity hops and perhaps grapefruit juice. nicely refreshingly sour and tart, nicely grapefruity in a good juicy way. in fact perhaps i can taste grapefruit juice more than fruity hops. balanced in a way that the awesome sour beer is not drowned out. quite amazing how different i react to aroma and to taste.

wow. chestnut brown to red brown, totally clear, huge light brown to beige head. looks absolutely fantastic
aroma is dusty hops, nutty malts, good body, smooth, like a good vienna. or a good brown ale. i think both malts and hops add to the pretty good aroma. not perfect, but way above average.
flavor is nutty malty, very slightly roasted malty, attenuated by bitter hops that are almost a tiny bit herbal (like an ESB) but not quite as much herbal, also the hops are not metallic but flavorful in a good way. tastes like a good vienna. not great, but very good.
a very enjoyable beer. really good. you have to try a lot of this kind before you find a better one.

hazy yellow, white head. a lot of fruits in the aroma, comes off as slightly artificial like soap with fruit aroma. the friuty aromas a re quite tart and sour like citrus fruits, also a sweeter note like unripe peaches.
flavor is nicely sour and refreshing with sour beer and citrus fruity notes combining in a good way. on par flavor wise with the good belgians. It is strange that aroma and flavor is so far aprt. flavor is not at all artificial and is driven by the sour beer, attenuated and improved by the fruity notes.

6.1/10 Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 5.5 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
very slightly cloudy orange, smooth creamy beige head.
fruity nutty malty aroma, very slighlty like a biere de garde, but less grainy and hayish and grassy, also a bit like a german hefe but less banana like notes. pretty nice, chewwy sweet beer aroma.
flavor is nutty malty, very slightly fruity, sort of slightly wheaty, herbal hoppy and malty bitter bitterness, a bit like a medium quality weizenbock. flavor is not very interesting, being bitter and sweet in a not very quenching way. Texture is really nice and chewwy, fitting the beer well.

clear yellow, smooth offwhite head
initially bready malty aroma, then followed by a more fruity malty aroma (like if wheat malts were involved) flowery aroma (probably from hops), more sweety, more fruity than your usual pilsner. I can relate to this trying to be a bit like some italian pilseners.
flavor is grainy malty, slightly nutty malty, very faint sea water'ish note, sweet malty note in there, mild ending.
sort of interesting but not really a 'i want one more of those'

clear yellow, smooth large offwhite head
A lot of mango fruit and mango juice notes, on top of a crisp malty, bit watery, bit thin base. the mago juice dominates, but good herbal pine grapefruit citrus hops are hinted, as well as crisp maybe slighlty nutty malts.
flavor is refreshlingly sour/tart mango with a bitter hoppy note and an easy drikning crisp and dry malty body. while easy drinking, the mango juice gets to you and makes the beer not really super sessionable. As a stand-alone taste experience the beer is a bit too thin and light bodied, so it ends up being not one and not the other. If you feel like a light beer and a mango, but are fresh out of mangoes, this beer will work.

Hazy yelllow, smooth offwhite head
Very refreshing hoppy and juicy aroma, hops are aromatic faint pine faint grapefruit, some citrussy exotic fruity notes, but far from cloying, good soft bit sweet malty base. Really good hoppy aroma, well rounded.
flavor is slightly hoppy bitter, good sweet malty base, faint citrus fruity notes, low bitterness, practically none into the aftertaste. feeels a bit too fullbodied to be sessionable, but quite a treat alright.

pours clear light yellow, settles cloudy light yellow with a neat cremy smooth wihte head with large bubbles.
aroma is very refreshing, mild sweet malts and mild sweet citrussy hoppy flavors create a mild bud very gentle and nice base, hoppy herbal notes to keep it interesting. almost a bit too light and mild though.
flavor is grapefruit, pine, malt sweetness, citrussy notes from hops, bitterness from malts, bit from hops, from alc. pretty complex but again a bit mild or watery or mild. the ABV keeps it from being one you could drink a ton of, and it doesn't really show off as better or more potent flavor.
