Watermelon, salty, tart, balanced example. Relatively clean fermentation. Nothing wrong with it, maybe a bit stronger than makes sense for a summer refresher.

Quite pale, bright, mellow spicy continental hop, low bitterness, fairly clean but this doesn’t seem like a yeast you want to let run free anyway. Even in Nürnberg there would be more bitterness, let alone Bamberg kreis, so this left some upside on the table.

Opaque, thin head, moderate bitterness, some orangey hop notes, grapefruit. Malts are weak, as usual, the mash game is really an issue with these guys, keeps them in the minor leagues. So it’s decent, one of their better efforts to date.

Bright gold, medium head. Sweet, light hop, good spruce. Medium bitterness. Not bad.

Pale yellow, opaque. Thin head. Some peachy, orangey accents. Light body, moderate bitterness but good juicy mandarin character. Malts are a bit weak, though about normal for a FH hazy.

Dullish pale brown. Aroma is chewy. Lots of rye and that’s the palate, too. It’s okay, the rye is good but the base comes across like a lot of Reubens base, simplistic.
