Tap at Gremlin. Sweet and creamy, big fruity aroma. Plum, bit of fruity sourness. Further down becomes fruitier and the creamy wheatiness subsides a little. Bit more sourness then. Nice. Liked Will's Granola comparison. Works for me.

Keyaki. Very nice aroma, light coffee, chilli, but a little sweet maltiness too. Good stuff, coffee is in the background, finish is lightly spicy, peppery. Like it!

Tap at Gremlin. Big red grape aroma and taste, good stuff. Rich and fruity, light spice. Purple feel (?!), but lovely beer and wine mix. Light spiciness. Good stuff and very interesting. Think I was trashed when I wrote this.

Tap at Gremlin. Nice. Jammy strawberry fruitiness, light hoppiness, quite malty, little bit of sweetness, bit of bitterness. Enjoyable.

Tap at Gremlin. Hugely dry hopped Hefeweizen. So much so that there is little trace of the weizen. Very nice, lots of fruit, orange and lemon, slightly wheaty maybe. Very tangy and juicy though. Delicious. Little bit of tartness. Great stuff. Could drink this all day. Unfortunately, it ran out.

Tap at Gremlin. Nice. Roasty, bit of bitterness, dark choc, bit nutty, but not sure I could get the acorns. Nice though. Dark fruit, light funk.

Tap at the brewery. Chocolate brown, slightly cloudy. Lovely. Little bit of chocolate sweetness, caramel. But hoppy finish. Slightly earthy, but with citrus too.
