Amber-brown with a thin head. Toasty, some bitterness, I’m definitely calling it a hoppier amber. Bit of caramel, moderate body. Balanced.

Bright gold, no head, sort of a grassy hop note, nice herbaceous hop character. Moderate bitterness, malts aren’t bad. Touch of blueberry, this is good.

Bright pale gold. No head, good bittermess. Hop has a lychee note, pomelo, decent balance, maybe some 586 in there? Or dolcita? One of those candyvape-tasting hops I’m not a fan of. Must be the 1671, this is my first try of that one. Description of dry af is odd because that’s a fermentation thing, not a hop thing.

Slight haze, medium head. Biscuity malt, rich hops layering grapefruit, sauvin and mandarin accents. Similar palate, but I would have expected a bit more bitterness.

Bright… but kinda dull pale gold. No head. Sticky, okay bitterness, lacks brightness though.

Opaque. Thin head. Kinda chalky, vague orange notes. Thin malt, lacks bitterness. I guess on paper it’s a hazy IPA but nothing seems particularly dialled in.

Bright, no head. Phenolic, decent body but phenols dominate. Some malt but I’m not sure what the goal is here - a batch of beer without a clear vision?

Cloudy and pale. Thin head. Medium tartness and plenty of piΓ±a. Simple but I guess it’s effective.

Medium brown, no head. Up front tonka bean and coffee, and bourbon. The palate is more complex, roast balancing with date sweetness, tonka accents and a finish that introduces tannins and alcohol. Full, silky body with just a bit of juiciness...the good kind.
