slightly hazy amber pour, aroma of berries, and honey. Flavor is sweet, butnot too sweet, not cloying at all, a very well balanced summer beer. Great stuff.

A hazy murky golden ale with a thick creamy white pinkish head. A pleasant sourish lactic fruit aroma, with light perfumey tones. In mouth, a good crisp malt with light berry acidic points, very classy. Overall, this brewery impresses, even with a mundane fruit beer. Bottle brought to me by Probstk.

Bottle: Poured a golden yellow color ale with a good size foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma consists of fruity notes with some lightly sweet malt. Taste is a mix between some medium fruity malt with some sweet notes as well as some grainy notes. I couldn’t detect much wheat or berry for that matter. I guess this is OK but I was expecting a bit more from this up and coming brewery.

Bright amber. Light berryish fruitiness with toasty maltiness. Slight toast character. Thoroughly uninteresting.

This wheat ale poured a clear dark orange colour with a nice big bright white creamy head. To the nose there are scents of whipped cream, creme soda, berry fruit and a slight yeast scent. First taste is very smooth and creamy, almost to the point of watery but no quite. Berry flavours along with cream and a slight hopp flavour. Finish is also smooth with a lingering flavour of hopps and a slight bitter end. Very good!
