Can. Brown pour, small off white head. Aroma is nutty, with a slight wet paper, and metallic notes, and a harsh mineral note. Soft mouth feel, and carb. Finish is alot of harsh minerals, and wet paper with light toasted malts, and subtle nuts. Meh.

Can at the mondiale 2014. Very dark copper pour, with a small beige head. Strong thick malty aroma, lots of dank cereals, caramels, and breads. The hops were quite earthy, with notes of pine,mand spruce even. This wasnt my bag, low bitterness, with a thick, sweet malty mouth feel. The finish is swet and earthy,mwith slight pine notes. Not a fan.

Hazy orange pour, large white head. Slightly skunky aroma, subtle citrus, and some light spicy hops. Very light cereals, and some alcohol too. The body an mouthful are solid, if anything the mouthful is a touch thick. The finish is super dry and there really isn’t much going on. All the hops fade to nothing. Just the slightest citrus, and a short very dry, highly bitter end.

Deep copper, small beige head. Bready, sweet malty aroma with touches of brown sugar, and some thick caramels. The flavor and finihs, not as nice. Wet paper, minerals, syrupy malts, soggy bread, low bitterness. Great aroma, flavor and finish are a let down,

can. Clear copper pour, small beige head. Very earthy aroma, grassy hops, zero citrus, touches of pine. Super earthy malts. The mouth feel is nice, and the carb is just fine. The finish is medium bitter, and ends with a biscuit, cereal, caramel malts, and more of these incredibly earthy hops. This reminds me of what Mill Street Tankhouse tastes like now. Calling this an IPA is a joke. Maybe i have an old can? There is no way of knowing the can has no date anywhere. this is at the most an amber ale. Its not horrible, just unbelievably earthy.....not what i was expecting.

Clear golden pour, small white head. Grassy aroma, good cereals. Good carb, good mouth feel. A clean crisp pils, nice floral grassy notes, the cereals last throughout. Nice.

Good wheat aromas and flavours, but it lacks in bubblegum and cloves. They are there but very subtle, and are washed out by over the top yeasty esters. The finish is short, and low on the bitterness scale with a prnounced wet paper flavour.

Cloudy-hazy golden-orange colour with a bubbly off-white head, fizzing away fast enough, leaving some bubbles as a ring. Orange juice base with herbal notes and hints of tropical fruits with the sourness. The sourness is not too crazy in the taste, showing mostly the citrus flavours with a touch of grassy hops. Some peel, zest and light juices. Seems a little unbalanced all-around.

Lightly hazed, golden-amber-pinkish colour with a big, very-quick rising bubbly-soapy white head, decent stay and light lacing. Big yeasty nose and the brew still seems to ferment - hence the big head and mild overflowing out of the can once opened. Hint of strawberries in the background. Some particles are seen through the hazy brew. The taste shows again the overpowering yeast, so not getting much strawberries. Yeah, not really good.
