hazy yellow, smooth creamy white to extremely light yellow head.
flowery citrus fruity and hop-herbal hops. not very citrussy, grapefruit and pine like notes, aroma is pretty close to a really good west coast ipa.
flavor has grapefruit, pine, faint sweet oranges or orange jam so bitter and sweet. malts are also sweetish with notes leading to caramel and butter. Overall the beer tastes very well, but it's not very quenching or easy drinking due to the lack of crispness and dryness. sort of like the IPA intrepretation of dessert wine, compared to white wine. Weakest of the VHS series so far, but still a pretty good one.

dark brown, smooth light brown head.
aroma is roasted malts, rye bread, pine and grapefruity hops.
flavor is roasted malts, mild bitter hops, the sequence is first bitter roasted malts, then flowery hops and sweet malts then hops bitterness and a lot of roasted malts bitterness in the end, far end is roasted malts and coffee.
nice soft mouthfeel.
Decent black IPA, very well done, still, something I can't really place is making it sort of mild or weak or somewhat boring. High quality, good flavor balance. but something is missing i think.
Normally I really dig black ipa's.

slightly cloudy yellow, beige smooth head.
hoppy flowery aroma centered around grapefruit and flowers and grapefrut peel. crisp mild malty base.
flavor is flowery hoppy, grapefruity hoppy, nectary sugary note, mild ending, not much bitterness.
pretty easy drinking somewhat sweet ipa, not malty sweet more sugary sweet or flower dust sweet, some bitterness to balance, bitterness is flavorful, somehow reminds me of bitterness from pilsener, which is probably just be being confused.

slightly cloudy dark golden, bege smooth head.
aroma is much like an european style ipa, solid nutty almost bitter malts, bitter tasteless hops and bitter flowery hops, very resiny, a little bit like old hops, although i know these aren't. leads me to think of ESB and the heaviest of UK traditional ipa's.
the flavor is nutty malty to sweet malty with a tasteles EU bitter hoppiness together with a fainter more flowery or nectar like sweet hoppiness.
all in all a very pleasant and balanced euro style IPA good solid body, well malty, hops probably an acquired taste.

pours clear caramelly brown, settles caramelly brown with a creamy small light brown head.aroma has nutty malty notes, fruity malty notes, faint bitter and flowery hoppy notes, well balanced and smooth feel to the aroma, yet centered around the malts. A lot like the more traditional brown ales out there.
flavor is nutty malty with finer dark fruits notes, bitter raisins, still balanced and smooth, soft mouthfeel, bit bitter nutty just before the end, but the end is not overly bitter.
very soft and easy drinking yet full on flavorfull brown/red ale.

cloudy yellow, smooth medium white head
flowery hoppy aroma almost grapefruit with sugar and green grapes. in fact quite hoppy, hops are driving the aroma. also cereral malts, but at least dry and crisp.
flavor is slightly bitter (malty bitter) very fait flowery note from hops - while aroma had lots of hops, flavor has nearly none, only some fairly tasteless hoppy bitternes. Nevertheless an eas drinking lowish alc beer, definetly sessionable.slightly bready in a way that suits it well. you could do many pints of this easily.

opened with a lot of beer spilling out, big beer and foam bomb.
mild slightly malty aroma
malty mild lager flavor. Pretty nice and very innocent lager flavor, not much bitterness but comes off as quite quenching bc the malts are not very sweet, although i can sense a bit of cerereal like sweetness.

hazy yellow, large smooth creamy light yellow head. mild or somewhat weak aroma but very good aroma just not so strong. good solid chewwy sweet malts and a fitting velvety pine/grapefruit/citrus fruit/exotic fruit balance to the aroma. very very nice, I just wish it was stronger. sweet malty flavor, faint licorice like note, herbal hoppy (in a very nice way) note with pine and grapefruit and a tiny hint of exotic fruits or perhaps berries, things fit extremely well together and the flavor full bodyness is awesome for a 5.5%er. also amazing mouthfeel that totally fits the malts and hops. flavor wise one of the best hazy ipa's i've had at 5%ish alc %. outrageously easy drinking and sessionable. really really good.

hazy yellow, smooth offwhite head
Quite fruity aroma, not that heavy, rounded malts, not crisp, fruits are citrus and lemongrass.
flavor is quite herbal, slightly citrussy, lemongrass, bitter herbal, not much malts. a bitter herbal ipa with citrus notes. Not really very interesting and surely not as a decently powered ipa. Could be the yeast, i don't know.
