330ml bottle into schooner glass. Hoppy fruity nose, lightly citric, grassy. Pours a hazy golden amber with thin white head. Medium carbonation. Watery feel with a little bitterness. Abrupt finish is bland and indifferent. Tiny hop note.

From a 330ml bottle on 2/1/2015. Pours a deep red amber with almost no head. The aroma is primarily light cinnamon. Flavour wise, there’s a little chocolate and caramel malt, a hint of dark fruit and more cinnamon, but it doesn’t really jump out at you. Light bodied with average to lively carbonation. Everything about this beer is quite subdued and a bit underwhelming. Not great.

Earthy hops, dirt, grain were all I could pick out of this one. Easily the most disappointing Redoak of the night’s session.

Deep reddish in color with an off-white head. Nutty aroma with sweet malt, a bit of chocolate in the back. Medium bodied. Flavor has the nutty notes, caramel malt, light hazelnut, chocolate, and very light earth tones. Very enjoyable.

Clear yellow with a white head. More intense of a cereal grain aroma than I expected. Flavor is similar with light herbal notes. Lightly crisp on the end. Decent lager but too grainy for a summer lager.

Dark brown, not much head. Aroma is all kinds of cinnamon and clove, maybe ginger. Pretty thin, light ginger and clove, a bit of sweeter dark malts. Definitely too light for northern Christmas but I guess in Oz its a bit warmer in December.

Hazy amber-tan. Bubbly head. Aroma is very fresh, resiny hop - piney, leafy w a hint of tropical fruit. Sweetish taste with lots of fruity character. Different, juicy, goes down quickly...but for drinkability though I know I’d prefer a bit more bitterness.

Hazy reddish-brown. Thin, weak head. Oaky aroma is fairly vinous, with plums and cherries. Decent -smells like Flemish sour. Mild tartness carries mostlt a barrel note with a dash of acid, and lots of dark fruits. A clean but timid Flemish-style sour.
