Drawn from all 9 beers in the catalogue.
Four notes carry across the range. That's a tight house style — most breweries in the catalogue share just one. 2 of them come through every single beer.

Their beers place in the Top 11% of the catalogue on average, across 7 ranked beers. Consistent rather than spiky — no single standout carrying the rest.
