16 oz. can, courtesy of Ibrew2or3 (thanks Dave), pours a deep dark brown / near-black with a small tan head. Aroma has plenty of campfire smoke and moderate earthiness. Flavour is smoky and dry, with lots of campfire smoke, dry earthiness—almost to the point of being muted—along with some minerality. A bit washed out but pleasant nonetheless. Good.

16 oz. can, courtesy of Ibrew2or3 (thanks Dave), pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has gentle piney hops, light citrus, and a touch of sweet cereal malt. Flavour reveals a nice piney hop character, light woodiness, a touch of oiliness, a touch of minerality, and crisp biscuity malt. Reasonable hop expression but a bit too mineraly. Very good.

473mL can. Pours clear gold with a white head. Tons of bright pine, bitter resins, and only a touch of allium on the nose. Flavour has a very nice hop expression with lots of clean pine, some bitter resins; a bit of less pleasant white onion character from the Citra. No minerality and a decent body. Pretty solid.

16 oz. can, courtesy of Ibrew2or3 (thanks Dave), pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma is restrained, with light grapefruit, a touch of pine, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is nicely bitter, with piney hops, some grapefruit bitterness, and crisp crackery malt. Good bitterness on the finish and very drinkable. Very good.

473mL can. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Tons of smokey wood on the nose; a bit like smoked ham. Flavour has a good amount of smoke, a bit on the soft side, more of that smoked ham thing. Not much from the malts aside from smoke. The body is pretty mineralic. It's not bad.

473mL can. Pours clear gold with a white head. Soft pine, a bit of caramel, and biscuit malts on the nose. Flavour is pretty similar with a clean piney hop expression, some bitter grapefruit peels and dank oils, and a soft malty base. Good, clean hop expression; solid.

Wren House rate #200. Pint can pours with a crystal clear pure gold colored body that supports a white head of foam. The modest aroma offers up tangelo and clementine like citrus, spicy malt infused onion like dank hoppiness and then a bit of berry around the edges. The taste delivers a pleasing hoppy depth with tangelo and tangerine punctuated by grapefruit and then berry mixed with a few cubes of mango. To midway some spicy onion like dankness joins the fun creating further hop depth and balance. This is damn close to my wheelhouse. Lovin' it.
