Can from the brewery, clocking in at 8%. Pours a deep fed, with a medium pink head. Aroma is loaded with raspberry puree and some light alcohol. Carb and mouth feel are spot on, and very nice and refreshing. Finish is quite bitter for the style, an odd contrast to the tart raspberries. No rhubarb to be found, hints of wheat, but very raspberry one sided.

Can from the brewery. Cloudy opaque orange pour, with a huge white head. Aroma is passion fruit and mango juice. Solid mango puree notes, pineapple too. Full mouth feel, slightly creamy, and a soft carb. Finish is low on the bitterness, heaps upon heaps of tropical fruit, malts ate subtle, but there and balance the sweet fruit well. Really great stuff.

Very fruity malts, light notes if candied citrus with an earthy, sweet, and slightly fruit coffee note. Hints if bitter coffee mixed with slightly sweet fruity candied zest.

Ummm ok, am I the only one who finds a 6% mild ale odd? Kinda defeats the purpose, no? Lots of roast and earthy malts, soft nuttiness, and brown sugar notes, with a strong malty finish. Semi sweet, low bitterness, nutty, and grassy. At 6% this is a brown ale if you ask me.

Clear golden pour, small to medium white head. Aroma a is crackery, grassy, pale cereals. Mouth feel, and carb are perfect, absolutely perfect. Finish is lightly bitter more cereals and subtle grass. Nothing special, but I see what they are aiming at with this beer. Well made and decent.

Growler from the brewery. Hazy beige pour, medium off white head. Earthy orange Aroma, some subtle grass and the earl Grey is present but in small doses. Quite earthy, lacks brightness, seems muddled, hints of orange zest, low bitterness, herbal/tea finish. Meh.

Clear, dark copper pour, with a medium off white head. Aroma is very piney, with some sweet candied citrus peel. Juicy, zest hops, but also quite malty. A well balanced ipa, light caramels and solid citrus notes with a strong pine resin finish.
