Keg at the brewpub, 01/02/16. After enjoying the amber I couldn’t wait to get stuck into the wheat ale and a red juan at that !!! Golden amber with reddish hues topped with a light beige head. Nose is does not carry much, not offensive, just a lack of action ...airy malt, faint caramel, grain. Taste comprises fresh air, just nothing doing, touch of bread and light caramel. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. A glass of nothingness! Why ?

Keg at the brewpub, 01/02/16 as Rebob Porter. Dark amber with a decent off white cap - not very porter like in appearance ... kind of washed right through! Nose is light roast, toffee, charr, malt, grain, pretty basic. Taste comprises toffee, light cocoa, grain, malt. Medium bodied, prickly and overcarbed, sweet and bitter rinse in the close. Pretty poor effort at a porter, almost like it was watered down.
