Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7
Clean, golden colour with an amber hue, a warm whitish cap, average stay and a nice foamy lacing ring. Getting hoppiness at first in the nose, but then, cereal grains come out, and later - some wheat notes giving a touch of bananas. The taste continues a grain-banana feel with enough hops to cut the sweetness, creating a decent dryness in the finish. A nice drying Pale Ale with some good, darker cereal malts and cutting hops. I just find the banana hints a little distracting.

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7
Hazy golden colour with a white cap, good stay and some soapy lacing spots. Big Citra and Galaxy hop aromas with loads of citrus (mostly zest, but some juices), tropical fruit notes and hop oils. Getting some stone fruits in the taste with the citrus taking a back seat, and the tropical ones blending things. The mouthfeel is juicy with a nice mild dryness that builds slowly in the end. Again, good lemon zest lingering. Feels like a NEIPA, but alcohol content is more like a Double NEIPA, so a little dangerous in the final :P

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 8
Clean, dark brown colour with ruby-copper highlights, a nice big warm-beige frothy head, good retention and good lacing left. Beautiful aromas of nuts (more like hazelnuts), caramel, coffee and some raspberries blending the fruitiness. The taste shows a little more the berries upfront, but the peanuts catch up to balance this. Not as powerful as the nose, so you get the roasted malts as base. Not too thick in the mouthfeel, so almost a Schwarzbier that goes down nicely. I really enjoy brew that I have been trying to find for a while. Nice to bring it back in their mix pack.

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 8
Hazy, golden-orange colour with a warm-white head, decent stay and some nice soapy lacing streaks. Big fruity aromas with orange juice, peach notes and some caramel base. The taste shows stone fruits again with some mild grassiness showing in the end. The vinous notes from the Nelson Sauvin are very faint, with piney hints, prunes. Juicy mouthfeel with a light, building dryness. A good American IPA with a balance of juiciness, fruitiness, caramel maltiness and mild piney-grassiness.

Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 9
Hazy, golden-orange colour with a white cap, decent stay and some foamy lacing spots. Big juicy orange juice aromas with a touch of tangerine, blueberries and vanilla. The taste is not as powerful (being a Pale Ale, not a NEIPA), but still has a nice blend of zest-juices of citruses with tropical fruit notes. Juicy mouthfeel with just a mild dryness, to not stick in the palate. Quite a nice juicy, refreshing, hazy Pale Ale showcasing the Mosaic hop.
