Dark amber pretty murky with good but audibly receding head. Intense nose welcome after a couple of dull beers. Banana bread, toffee, some clove, kandi sugar. Intense in the mouth: medium carbonation, followed by malty biscuity mid range. Medium sweet, nice receding malty but bitter finish. Warming alcohol. Good, very well balanced.

Dark yellow, clear with a good 1 cm stable head. Grainy grassy aroma: slight floral notes. Not much on the mouth before the bitterness with a bit of astringency kicks in. Lingering nondescript bitterness. On second and third tasting a bit of lemon and a very fleeting floral note. Drinkable but not great.

Hazy dark yellow with a small but stable head. Inviting nose: Hoppy, piney, typical IPA, then citrus fruit, some green apple. Lower end of the IPA scale in the mouth: ok hit of hips, some pine, citrus again, pineapple. Slightly sweet. Low carbonation. Nice trailing hoppy bitterness but mild. Not watery but not a hitter. Good and drinkable fitting the session name but could have done with a bit more flavor.

Almost clear pale yellow with a quickly and thoroughly dissipating head. Caramel on the nose, pear drops, slightly oaky, kandi sugar, toast, coriander. Almost Belgian. Very slight vegetal background hint. Nice if a little thin on the palette. Again caramel, vanilla, pear, slight sweetness. Nice up to mid range but falls off leaving a slightly watery impression. The hops remain noticeable. Not bad.

Typical sour style looks at least. Fast disappearing head, weak yellow. Lemony on the nose with a hint of pear drop and light pineapple / exotics behind it. Taste is average: mild tartness up front, lemon in the middle, then the usual roof of the mouth sourness. I struggle to find hops in there. Definitely not an IPA. Easy to drink but inoffensive...
