Dullish pale, some haze. Aroma is peppery, estery, with a sweet lychee pale malt. On the palate, off-dry, yeasty, with pear, lychee, and again that peppery yeast accent. Well-balanced. Solid tripel.

Dark brown. Thin head. Has a light blackberry aroma with a touch of leafy hop. The malts have a touch of sweetness, with a medium bitterness. With a hit of that leafy hop character. It's good, maybe not the hoppiest, but happy to have it.

Dark brown. No head. The aroma has some chocolate, that sort of fudgey thing Third Moon does with the slightly husky malts. On the palate, it's okay, medium body, some residual sugars but drier than I'd prefer. Mostly chocolatey. A touch of lactose lends sweetness to the finish. It's okay, but

Medium brown colour. There's a cardboard accent on this, maybe some roast but you really do have to look for it. On the palate, it's got a sharp sourness. Have you ever had carrot juice with a squeeze of lemon? That's the vibe I'm getting. In other words, not an imperial stout, like really not what they were trying to brew.

Grassy, slightly oniony hop aroma, pale body, no head. On the palate, it's got a nicer hop character, with blueberry accents, lots of bitterness, clean pale malt. Good balance. Solid - the chinook and columbus are doing the work here, with the mosaic maybe coming through a little bit, though for me that's not a good thing.

Dark chocolate, this has a decent caramel character, a bitter chocolate. It's okay, has that sort of harsh husky bitter character that characterizes a lot of their dark beers.

This has a pale malt character, moderate bitterness. The hop character comes together - not a lot of individualistic elements...some apple/pear stuff and then maybe a bit of grape. Balanced, though I'd prefer more bitterness.

Pale amber-brown, slight haze, and a thin head. The aroma here is a big sweet, some bubblegum. On the palate, medium body, a touch of acidity, some caramel, again a bit of bubblegum, and alcohol. The barrel isn't great, lends some tannins.

Pale blonde, slight haze. The aroma has a lot of pear, bitter citrus, some stone fruit. On the palate, it's got a clean pale malt character, lots of hop. Well-balanced.
