3/5/2026. Bottle at the ITFC Promotion Party (2026) beer share. Bought directly from the brewery. No explosion but did pour frothy. Aroma is orange, grassy, chalky, stone fruits, piney edge. Taste is sweet, fruity, moderately bitter. Moderate body, again quite foamy. Likeable but gassy.

500ml bottle, explosive opening making a mess everywhere. Thankfully the beer seemed to be fine.
Pours a slightly unclear amber with a huge off-white head. Aroma is resinous, pine, grass, marmalade. Taste is again predominantly resinous, with citrus, orange, grapefruit, marmalade, biscuity malt base, bitter finish. Medium bodied.
A rocky but pleasant enough start for this new brewery.

Bottle from Westhill Service Station. It pours clear amber with a decent white head. The aroma is sappy, oily, resin, pine, lychee, pink Turkish delight, papaya and orange marmalade white bread sandwiches. The taste is dry upfront, mellow bitterness, bitter - sweet character, piney, sappy, resinous, pithy grapefruit, fragrant, grass, touch of lychee and biscuit with a drying, resinous finish. Average body and fluffy carbonation. Decent west coast inspired number.
