Draught pint at the brewery on 2/7/14
Soft amber appearance with a smattering of light white head and a bit of lacing. High clarity.
Tart nose has plentiful grapefruit zest, grainy/biscuity malts and a strong lemony-lime note. The hops and sourness blend to give off a very light tart cherry note which is enjoyable. Not a huge strength of aroma, but passable.
Initially tart acids dry the palate out as bitter hop acids exacerbate the dryness and both look for a balancing maltiness to arrive, but it never does. Incredibly over-attenuated to the point of tasting like a borderline mix of seltzer water hops and tart acids. Ok, not quite that bad, but just has no sweetness or body to it and the malts get too grainy/scratchy as a result. Moderate carbonation does not help things either.

A nice acidic raspberry flavor with a relative clean finish. I`d call this a middle of the road ale.

A lightly hazed amber ipa with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, nice biscuit malt with light floral hops, light butterscotch, OK. In mouth, a sweet caramel malt with light buttery notes, grassy floral hops, OK.

Enjoyed at the brewpub. Pours a dark copper-brown colour. Plastic nose with light malt. No burning mouthfeel, just a mild warming. Slightly bitter taste with a little more fruit notes than the chemical feel. Not really well-balanced and less sweet than most wee heavy brews I have had. Not really enjoying the weird feel. Does get a little better with time, but still.

Sampled at the brewpub. Hazy golden with a white head. Smells woody with the typical sourness of a Flemish Sour. A little tarty. Sour, but not too crazy with apples in the finish. A real nice try on this style, a little unbalanced, but very nice to have this in s pub.

Sampled at the brewpub. Golden-copper colour with foamy lace. Lacking fruit malt, just plain hoppy. Sour tasting with mild bitterness. The best balance here is the mouthfeel, between dry and wet. Lease favorite beer here, not as well blended. Becomes a little with time.
