Well and drinkable. Lean and fairly dry. Pleasant pithy-citrusy hop character. Well balanced. Tidy and highly drinkable.

That’s very good stuff. Funky and clean, notes of pale wood, lemon peel, straw. Moderate acidity. Decent salinity. Extremely drinkable. No off notes, really. Exceptional.

It would be hard to find more character in a beer of this strength. Gorgeous and clean smoke character, lean ham, mellow pale campfire notes, a little biscuit, hay. Light bodied. Super clean finish, lingering dry smoke, candied ham. Excellent.

To be fair, it does exactly what it says on the tin. And does it well. Lovely sweet and tangy and jammy berry character. Low acidity. Raspberry, strawberry. Cakey accents. Not overly sweet. Drinks quite well for what it is. Very enjoyable.

Drinkable stuff. Sweet and malty, not terribly complex. Some fruity notes, lightly toasted malts, a little leafy hop, soft caramel. Quite enjoyable, drinks well.

Solid offering overall. Not particularly ‘west coast’ but it’s a nice and dry IPA. Some pine needles, dried citrus peel, lean pale malts. Good balance, quite clean and drinkable.

Rather mediocre. Some vague and muted hop character, soggy citrus, pale bread crust, straw, a little rindy bitterness, pine needles. Drinkable but barely above enjoyable.

Really nice brew. Creamy citrus vibes, soft piney bitterness, a little mango, papaya, lemon rind, background pale bread. Very drinkable.

Pleasant enough. Some citric notes, lemony hops, dry pale malts, low bitterness. Not much to it but drinks fine.
