Medium sweet. Quite chunky. Strongly floral start is inoffensively perfumey, almost rose but clearly something different. Honey comes through in the middle and lasts into the finish. Generally well-blended flavors work nicely all through. Ok.

Not sweet. A pretty good example of a fairly malty lager. Low bitterness. One of the most normal tasting non-alcoholic beers I've run across. Ok.

Not sweet. Malt forward with sharp hops follow-up. Slight umami towards the finish. Bitterness strongest in the middle with a slow drop through the extended finish. Ok. Purchased from Top Ten Liquors Roseville

Slightly sweet. Solid malt and a little bit of decent hops can't quite stay away from slightly cardboardy background. Bitterness swells in the middle, recedes toward the end, but never quite leaves the very long finish. Pass. Purchased from Cub Foods Har Mar

Slightly sweet. More malt than hops at the start. The hops do fairly quickly assert themselves for a fairly characteristic Cascade bitterness. Bitterness fades before the medium long, fairly nice finish. Ok Purchased from Top Ten Liquors Roseville

Slightly sweet. Tart and malty start with defined lemon essence melding with a light hop bitterness. Indeterminate fruit tones make an appearance at various points, but nothing that leaves much of an impression. Somewhat nutty malt and light lemon continues through the long finish. Ok. Purchased from Top Ten Liquors …

I should start with a disclaimer: I am NOT a coffee drinker. I try a sip or two occasionally but find it to be far too bitter. The only exception was on a vacation in Guatemala where it was served with lots of milk and an extremely light roast of very fresh beans from a farm on the other end of the valley. I was like …

Quite sweet. Candy-like strawberry hits lightly first but is followed quickly by sharp lime before resurfacing in the middle where the flavors finally blend with the sweeteners and begin a very slow fade through the finish. Ok. Purchased at Stinson Wine, Beer and Spirits

Medium sweet. Still. Unexpectedly natural, though concentrated, watermelon flavor followed by slightly tart but restrained apple background. Medium length, almost floral finish. Oddly satisfying. Recommended. Originally posted to Twitter.

Quite sweet. Definitely purple flavored, but a natural purple. Initial fructose/sucrose tones overrun by late sucralose train. Very light carbonation. Ok. (Probably higher for Izze fans) Originally posted to Twitter.

Not sweet. Pronounced floral jasmine almost makes for a sweet start despite the lack of actual sugar but the oolong makes for a slightly creamy/umami extended finish. Well balanced. Recommended. Originally posted to Twitter.

Quite sweet. No fire. Plenty of fruit blended well with ginger and citrus. Sits on the palate for awhile, but pleasantly. Ok. Originally posted to Twitter.
