Looks top notch. Pretty well rounded overall. Nice bit of ashy roast, orange peel, toasted pine. Could be a little richer in general but it’s pretty expressive. Drinks fairly light, which is nice.

It’s a very standard hazy. Moderately sweet, limited bitterness. Some vaguely tropical fruit vibes. Tangerine. Peach. A little pale bread and pine needles. A little green. To be fair, it drinks well. But there’s really nothing distinctive about this.

I don’t think this is bad at all. Has some nice gooey, resinous pine. Sun-baked malts. Semi-ripe citrus. Perfume accents. Full bodied. Lightly warming finish. Punchy but not heavy-handed. Pretty cohesive. Some decent lingering piney bitterness. Hits the right notes.

Enjoyable stuff. Noted at 3.4%. Pleasant bready malt character, modest British yeast expression. Soft leafy hop bitterness. Background accent of sun-kissed honey. Nicely rounded. Good amount of character for the low ABV. Very drinkable.

Good enough, really. Rich and bready, moderately sweet, ample doughy wheat bread, light ripe banana and eatery notes, minimal bitterness. Medium bodied. Smooth finish, easygoing.

What’s not to like? If you’re seeking a juicy, tropical and mellow sour beer, this really hits the spot. Relaxed acidity, bright and fresh pineapple, decent bittersweet grapefruit. Very well balanced. Firmly not a novelty beer. This is a breakfast beer for sure.

Rich woody barrel character. A little earth, cocoa, tyre, raisins. Slight tangy burnt wood. A little warm. Pleasantly rich sweetness. Nicely rounded. Good depth. Some stewed dark fruits. Sound.

A typically sweet and reasonably tasty pastry offering from this brewery. A bit cloying? Yes. Some toasted nut notes, burnt sugars, raisins, caramel, vanilla. In small doses, it’s fine. A little sticky and warming.
