Logs for beers from this brewery

Floral, light, smells tart but isn't really. Definitely up the alley of what you'd expect from a hoppy sour. Bit of a bitter backbone from the hops.
Fair Isle Alexandra (Batch no. 1)
Lightly sour, dry and bitter. Light citrus notes.
Light plum with a grapefruit finish. Sweet cereal funk.
Funky and tart, vinous. Carries on all the way through.
Really unusual: definitely tart, dark, but with a light sense of mint through the flavor.
Like a really good ginger beer, except this is actually a beer! Slightly sweet, lots of ginger, dry lime tartness. Fair Isle continues to impress.
Hoppy, funky, sour. Quite dry. Finishes clean. I liked it but didn't have too much of it.
Somewhere between blueberry and raspberry, notably floral, no funk. Medium tart, very clean finish.
Dry, champagne-like. Dries out on the tongue which is probably from the tea. Delicious.
Bottle at Odin Lounge
Really, really good. Clean, dry mouthfeel with bright strawberry-like flavors, hints of florality, and a tart-to-clean finish. Had to buy a bottle of the Hanami afterwards, which looks related (but sencha based).
Fair Isle Bobbi (Batch no. 3)
Dry and fizzy, initial tartness mellows into a brett-funky, vinous flavor. The finish is almost uncannily clean. I would call this extremely tasty although maybe just adjacent to my ideal.
Bottle
Fair Isle Isabelle (Batch no. 1)
This was a super interesting beer, and I was at the collaboration winery so it was a natural choice. This is syrah-dominant -- basically it's wine, but lightened by the beer and given a moderate effervescence. The overall effect is a red champagne, airy but still dry and tannic, hints of raspberry. Felt perfect for a Valentine's dinner.
