On tap at the brewery. Deep gold, hazy. Aroma is heavy powdery hop, taste the same, with creamed corn maltiness. Sulphury. Not the greatest.

Hazy light gold. Vaguely biscuity, crackery with a touch of yeast, and a little bit of dryness.

Toasted lemon zest, coriander, coconut. Hazy and quite pale. Aroma has toastiness, coriander, lime fruitiness. Light fruity character, dash of lime, floral aromatics. Very light, though.

Pale gold with a white head. High bead. Aroma is grainy with lemon and some spices. And some cardboard and cooked corn. Some green apple in the taste as well as some astringency. Then I gave up. I’ve heard good things about this beer but they didn’t make it into this bottle.

Pours black with a lasting off-white head.Nose shows bready and toasty malt along with some soft roast and piny, resinous hops.Similar flavours ; more toasty malt with some spicy rye notes and resinous hops providing an assertive bitterness. Black IPA-esque.
