Gold, slight haze, thick, rocky head. Aroma is leafy, herbaceous continental hop. Medium body, lots of bready malt, moderate but balanced bitterness. Pretty good, has some Czech character.

Hazy, good head. Aroma is a bit of onion and some slightly cheesy hop. Moderate bitterness, light bfruitiness, mild stone fruit. Fullish body for style but an indistinct malt character. Seems pretty nondescript.

Pale and slightly hazy. Light fruity hop note, pears and some stone fruit. Light body, moderate bitterness. Hops are similat stone fruit but with more of a sweet mandarin accent. It’s okay, everything is okay and in particular I’d want some extra bitterness to make it pop.

Dullish pale. Vinous notes and it comes across with a nice peachy character. Balanced, light brett. Some good tartness in the finish. Juicy with a lot of acidity, a touch of sweetness, and again a good gooseberry, stone fruit character.

Dark brown. No head. Getting lots of vanilla on the nose, good quality chocolate, some dark sugars. I like the barrel character on there, soft, some coconut. Full body. Sticky dark sugars, with good vanilla.

Dark brown. The aroma has a dominant bourbon, but doesn't promise much. On the palate, however, it's pretty good. Lots of sugars, pale and dark, and the bourbon comes across better than on the aroma, where it's a bit rough.

Pale, hazy, The aroma, I mean that's got a lot of pitch, pine, yes muscat as well, but piney retsina sort of character. On the palate, it's more obviously vinous, intense, with lots of sugars, combining with the buggy character that's almost going in a tokaji direction. Sweet pale malts. Just so juicy, delicious. The bugs are complementary.
