Pale, with a slight haze. Mild tartness. Sort of yeasty, light rhubarb character. Ok tartness in the finish.

Hazy and pale. Herbaceous notes on the aroma - usually that's one of the weird ways lime presents. Good body. Light brett. Clean, slightly juicy, with hints of brett. Pretty good.

Plummy colour. Opaque. This has a plummy nose, too. Tart, stone fruit as well. Good balance. Nice complexity - the fruit doesn't express as raspberry but that's not a big deal because it expresses nicely. And the underlying base was and is a good saison.

Opaque yellow. Ok hop aroma. Some hop burn, though. Malts are kind of awol, the result being that would could have been a decent showcase for underutilized varietals ends up wasting them.

Bright pale gold. Oniony as fuck. Sticky malts. Underfermented, by quite a bit. Onions galore. Who the fuck wants a sticky, oniony pilsner?

Hazy, medium brown colour. Toasty, light blackcurrant character. Sharp acidity. Not really my vibe.

Opaque pale amber colour. Thin head. Light footy sort of yeastiness. Mild phenols. Dirty, unclean ferm on this. Okay body. Off-dry, but certainly not an exemplar of the style. This is a tripel?

Pale, with a slight bit of haze. It's soft for a cider, with good pear notes, maybe a bit of the grape skins. Good quality, though probably less grapey than I was expecting.

Amber. There's a sweet cherry on the aroma but more of a woody sourness to the beer overall. It's mild in character, decent but lacks stellar qualities.

Opaque, with a thin head. Quite pale. Smells like canned jalapeno, which I would never put in a pico de gallo. Tomatillo in there as well. Good body. The flavours are iffy in concept, but they are balanced. They're just not good things. Don't hate it, though.
