Cloudy yellow pour with a small white head. Aromas are lemonade, some citrus and malt. Taste is mainly lemonade, some lemon and malt. Not overly sweet, but also not mindblowing. A fairly standard Shandy without much of the Festbier.

Slightly hazy, golden pour with a small white head. Aromas of grapefruit, pine, grapes, amngo and malt. Taste is grapefruit, some mango and melon. Herbs for a decent bitter finish

Dark black pour with a small tan head. Aroma is (roasted) malt, vermouth, cocoa, chocolate, dried berries and plums. Taste is roasted malt, herbs from the vermouth, orange peel/marmalade, cocoa/chocolate, some almonds/amaretto, berries and wine.
Nice warming, boozy finish.
What I do not understand, though, is why Brewdog puts maltodextrin in these beers. They do come at a certain price point, so leaving it out and charging a bit more would surely not make too much of a difference.

To mark the start of the Oktoberfest ;-) Clear golden pour with a fluffy, but stable white head. Aromas is grain and citrus. Taste is grains, hops, some citrus as well. Not bad at all. Thumbs up for being organic!

Hazy bright orange with a stable white head. Aromas of orange, cream/milk, vanilla. Taste is quite similar. Quite pleasant, but not really beer-like, tbh.
