On tap at Holy Mountain - Phinney Ridge, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has an evocative mix of tangy hops, tropical fruits, pine, and a touch of citrus. Flavour is assertive and beautifully balanced, with bright piney hop bitterness, melon, citrus, and crisp biscuity malt. Impeccably hopped and flawlessly structured. This is an incredible WCIPA.

On tap at Holy Mountain, pours a clear golden with a medium white head. Aroma has plenty of piney hops, citrus zest, some melon, and biscuity malt. Flavour is bright, with big piney hops, some citrus, and crisp biscuity malt. Bright, bitter, and wonderfully hopped—more like an IPA. Excellent.

On tap at Holy Mountain - Phinney Ridge, pours a clear pale golden with a medium white head. Nose is full of intense NZ tangy hops, massive grassiness, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is super bright and expressive, with a wonderful tangy hop expression, lots of grassiness, and crisp biscuity malt. Wonderfully hopped, vibrant finish, with immense drinkability. Excellent.

On tap at Ridgewood, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma has bright piney hops, some light gooseberry, a touch of allium, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour has some allium, tropical fruity hops, and crisp crackery malt. Good hop expression other than the Citra but solidly made.

Aroma: American oak, toasted barrel, espresso, thick.
Taste: along the same lines, thicker and sweeter than other variant. At the same time, nice incorporation of American oak, toasted barrel notes and espresso. Consumed cold, maybe that's a key for this.
Overall: good one.

TCBW2024. Black colour, small brown head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is liquorice, some biscuits, lactose and roasted tones with chocolaty and mild toffeeish tones too. Flavour is quite much following the same pattern, but does show a little bit of alcohol as well.
