Reddish colour, bright. This has a decent vinous note, and a woody sort of character from the honey. Has a lot of sticky honey, and then the cab cuts through with a bit of acidity. Good balance. I'd like a more complex honey character but good richness.

Pale, bright. Not much head. Hot buttered corn, grassy, low bitterness. Okay, I've had it. Ok, that's a tick. It's literally not worth a letterkenny reference.

Bright amber, not much head. Ok, it's an amber ale. It's clean, caramelly. I mean, I don't know. What's the point?

Hazy, pale. No head. Has a bit of cabbage, some chocolate stuff, but why is this thin, pale malt, some tartness. Nothing seems to be coming together here. Yeah, this isn't working.

This is hazy, thin head. It seems fairly tart, with light fruitiness. It's got a nice sweetness, with a white wine character. It's balanced.

Slight pinkish, smells appley. Not sure I specifically get quince, but not sure I would. Tart, has some acidity, an off-dry finish. Not super complex, okay apple notes, and again it's not that clear about the quince, but I'm not sure it ever is.
