Keg at the brewery. Light haze on this amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is surprisingly light and crisp, semi dry. Thin malts, trace of caramel, not sweet. Resinous bitter pine hops, an unexpected touch of bitter wood. Sweeter orange before a dry finish that also brings green hop. Good stuff!

Keg at the brewery. Hazy deep amber beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is crisp and dry. Minerals. A light yohgurt vibe runs throughout this beer and I guess this is what has put people off, but to me it’s light and not really bothering me. Mildly tart rhubarb and tangy dried orange. Crisp finish. I found this refreshing and tasty but totally understand why other people don’t like it.

Keg at Craft CG. It pours deep Amber with minimal head. The nose is earthy, leather, barnyard, damp wood, leaf, dirt and alcohol. The taste is bitter, boozy, wood, earth, light spice, varnish and leaf with a pretty bitter finish. Medium+ body, soft carbonation and oily mouth-feel. A bit rough and dirty... So-so.

On tap at the brewery. Hazy brown amber colour bubbly white head. Funky saison. Quite sharp on the finish. Some malt sweetness. Funky finish. Not subtle. Hops on finish yes. Funk is upfront. Not sure it is a harmonious beer. Hops are a tad aggressive. Yeast is good though. Ok

On tap at the brewery. Hazy dark amber thin white head. Lactic sour aroma. Some odd biscuit. Rhubarb is muted. Not sure this works. Lactic overly so. Eek. Drain pour. Decent carbonation.

Somewhat murky amber beer with a small off white head. Palate is light and dry and crisp. Brief burst of zippy orange and tangerine and then big perfumery floralness. Violets and crushed hard candy sweets. Whisper of spice. Finishes light and dry with bitterish floral linger. Very perfumed but interesting and tasty. I oresume Omnipollo are on the dog and bone to their lawyers re the bottle design! Lol!

Tap at the brewery. Hazy, amber colour. Filmy, off white head. Sweet. Strawberry jam. Light caramel. Piny, medicinal thing, too. Taste is heavy sweet. Spicy dry. Moderate to full bitterness. Palate is full, chewy, thick and a little unctuous. Which is ok by me. Long, light dry, heavy bitter finish. My first by this brewer. Liked it a lot.

Draft at the brewery - London. Pours mostly clear, deep and shiny gold with a bubbly white head. The nose is rather unpleasant, with notes of aged parmesan, rotten fruits, light bile. The flavor is OK with some sharp and zippy berries, mild acidity, but there is lingering cheese, almost creamy. Light bodied with average, spritzy carbonation. Lightly sharp and zippy to finish with more parmesan, baby puke, slight alcohol. There are some pleasant tangy rhubarb and melon notes underneath but the off-flavors overwhelm here, unfortunately. Needs work.

Medium sweet flavor with lots of earth, dirty leaves, lightly toasted bread, grains, ripe orange, light minerals, caramel. Full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Sweet finish, sticky and resinous, lightly warming, with more ripe and somewhat jammy citrus fruits, orange, marmalade. Not very clean but fair overall.
