Pours dark chestnut brown with an amber hue. Medium, stable off-white head. Scent is mild. Whiff of chocolate, but not roasty - i mean the sweet, industrial chocolate (think milka) , a fine breadyness underneath. Taste is light, tofee comes to mind, caramel, mildly bitter. Bit crisp but feels a bit cloying near the end. Decent, though.

Pours nearly clear blonde. Small white head fades fast. Scent is ... unfresh... 'choked' loundry (wet clothes you left to long) comes to mind. Sure, I can recognize the quince, but not in a way that it's a beneficial thing - which is a first, I usually really like quince beers. Taste is dry, weirdly yeasty (autolysis) , estery, harsh, oily body. Very mildly sour, Medium saltyness. Quince is recognizable, but doesn't work smoothly with the beer. Aftertaste is mineral-harsh, dry, and mildly fading quince. Once you get over the aroma it's an OK beer, but never more than that. But combined with the aroma, it's a thing that should not be...

Pours a unclear warm copperamber. Medium sized, very stable creamy off-white head. Scent is mild, light toasty grains, amber malts. Taste is crisp and toasty, very maltforward without being to heavy, still quite light and easy drinkable. Not very hop-forward or bitter, but just enough to make this very balanced. Quite enjoyable, this one. Medium body and carbonation, which work well with the beer. Expected way less of this !

Not sure if I've ever tasted a keller-weizen, so pretty curious as to how this could potentially surprise me. Straight out the gate, this pours a much different color than a hefeweizen, unclear amber, with a huge white head that's very stable. Scent is banana alright, but with a caramelly background. No real cloves (yet), Amber malt-like crispy, breadcrust like features. Wheat is less straight forward. Taste is full, toasty, caramelly, banana, crisp and fresh, breadcrust. Man, i actually enjoy this way more than I thought I would, not being a particular fan of hefeweize. Still not a favorite beer of mine, this one, but certainkly a lot more to my liking than I had thought. The caramelly, breadcrust, ambermalty crisp really ligts it up, though the beer remains quite sweet and ester heavy.

Pours a slightly unclear strawyellow. Medium sized, fairly soapy white head. Scent is citrussy, green (danky) hoppyness. Taste is a bit cloying, mild bitterness , malty (more like a Pale Ale than an IPA, but stick to what name sells best I guess) , citrussy and danky notes still present, but way less intense. Medium body, feels kinda heavy on the palate but not 'thick'. Lower carbonation. Decent, for sure, but not excelent.

Pours black, covered by a medium sized, darkly tanned head that dies down very quickly. Scent is cloves, roasty, coffee-with-milk, ashy. Taste is full, sweet, yet has a bitter touch trough the roast. Lactose pops up, but not dominant, taking the edge of the char / Ashyness of the roast, something I can imagine was needed for this beer, it's got that unpleasant character lurking behind the additives - that thus save the beer in my opinion. Maple is very mild, in the scent I got that typical clove-like feature I sometimes get in maple beers, and I do not like it one bit, when it's not there I generally love maple stouts though... So it has many features that make it seems like it'll go wrong (cloves, ashy, char) but than, in the mouth, it somehow saves itself, providing a little maple (the way maple should taste, IMO), lactose, a bit of depth, and a good , dense body with lower carbonation. It's never a rave-beer for me, but it certainly is well enjoyable and gives me this epic-save-vibes . Basebeer would probably be not to my liking at all.

Pours unclear, dark amber to copper. Medium small, stable white head. Scent is full, deep maltyness, creamy impression. Mild to silent on hops, yeast only as a supportive roll - not a main player. Taste is surprisingly bitter. Crisp yet deep maltyness, very caramelly. Breadcrust. Has some Bitter Ale influences, seemingly, but much less creamy so, in compare. Quite enjoyable, simple as it may be.

Pours clear, lighter blonde. Small , medium stable white head. Scent is very mild. Whiff of pilsner malts. Taste is farily bitter. Crisp, fresh, yet a bit sweet and diacetyl-like finish (I didn't really get diacetyl in the nose though) Maltyness is pleasant, so is the bitterness. if only it were (quite) a bit more dry, it would actually be very enjoyable.
