Can. Dark brown with a beige head that's soon less than a coat. Shyish aroma is unusual with grapes, bitter oranges, plums, chocolate, woody pineapple. Lightish bodied with lowish carbonation. Sour with a dry, somewhat bitter finish. Plums, roast (or tar or coffee?) stone fruit, spices creep up at the end. I quite like it but it's baffling.

[Brew Crew #5 by Tracey the office guru] Can. Clear yellow with a white head. Not all that much fruit in aroma - smells mostly like a Berliner Weisse - mild lacto funk, wheat crackers, some pongy tropical fruit. But the pineapple is much more obvious upon a taste. Crackers, laundry-like funk, very gentle sourness. Dry finish with some pineapple astringency.

GABS Auckland 2018. Pours orange gold. Lemon, lemongrass, very floral, bit of grapefruit peel, bit of wood near the end. Good body. Nice.

Can. Amber with an inch of white head. Aroma of grapefruit, oranges, peach, light biscuit. You'd guess there was actual citrus as well as hops but it's hard to tell where one leaves off and the other comes in. Dryish overall with lots of marmalade-like citrus, quite strong bitterness and the cedar - which is a little astringent - creeping up at the end. Pretty good.

Bottle. Clear amber with less than a coat of off white head. 3- It sticks around at the rim though. Aroma dominated by rye - earthy and spicy with overdone bread crust. Carbonation is one the low side of moderate which suits it. Really quite feisty rye with a little biscuit to soften it. Even so, it's pretty dry. Towards the end, it's hard to tell where the rye spiciness ends and the bitterness begins. Fine finish. Bolder than expected. Good.

On tap at the brewery. Pours rubescent dark brown. Chocolate, nuts, biscuits, vanilla, more nuts, strawberry jam, cherry, more chocolate on the finish. Good smooth body. Really good.

On tap at the brewery. Pours dark brown with a slight orange hue. Chocolate, biscuits, nutty, bit of dried fruit, some orange peel, bit of dusty coffee grounds near the end. Nice full body. Very nice.

On tap at the brewery. Pours gold. Dank, pine resin, floral, lemon, grapefruit. Harsh bitter finish. Not bad but a full pint might be a bit much.
