Bright amber, lasting off white head. Peachy apricot nose. Light malt, vague fruit, medium hop bittereness. Needs refining

Darker copper body with almost no foam. Big smell of sugary apricot. Flavour is a soft mix between sugary apricot and a vague hint of malt. Medium finish. Kind of a mess where they hope you see what you want in it; but the more astute will notice the total lack of control.

On tap at Northpaw, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out husky, earthy hops and a crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with butterscotch, a touch of diacetyl, and bready malt. Poorly calibrated and puzzling in general insofar as what they were going for. Very bad.

Can - Grapefruit and light pine. Dark gold with a rich off white head. Light sweetness and almost an anise note. As it warms the crazy malts and caramel come through.

Dullish amber w a slight haze, berries on the nose, chewy earthy malt overload and minimal hop character. Not the balance I seek in IPA.

Draught at the brewery
Hazy light amber colour. Mild caramel, mild biscuity malts, very strong butter.
Undrinkable beer. If you end up with a beer this loaded with diacetyl, don't sell it please.
