Can from the brewery. Burnt orange pour, small beige head. Aroma is very bread, and slightly nutty, with some very subtle, soft hops. Mouth feel is a tad watery, flavour to me reminds me more of an alt, than a marzen, the malts are very prominent. Finish is again quite bread, minerals, and lots of cereals.

Big pine Aroma, with loads of citrus too. Chewy malts, bready, with good cereals. Oily mouth feel, good carb. Lemon peel comes through in the end with a solid lemon oil/zest flavour with some big Green leafy hop aromas. Nice stuff. I also enjoy the shot they take at the session Ipa style.

Tap at thirsty and miserable. Dark pour, beige head. Big Aroma of vinous red wine oky Bartel with some solid roasty malts. The barrel gives a sour cherry note to the beer. Quite interesting.

Tap at the brewhouse. Hazy yellow pour, small white head. Aroma is very very strong on coconut, with a nice lime zest tartness. The coconut isn’t sweet though, has a slightly harsh banana boat lotion aroma to it. The body and carb are nice, crisp, and refreshing. The finish is clean and tart, and the lime shines.

On tap at the brewhouse in gravenhurst. Hazy yellow pour, with a medium white head. Aroma is slightly sour, with some nice marketed wheat notes and some solid lemon zest. Mouthfeel is very light, and a touch watery, with a very soft carb. The finish is slightly tart, lemony, and a touch yeasty. A nice Berliner.

Very light, lots of lemon notes, and stale hops. The pepper is very upfront, and is quite prevalent in the finish. Not my bag.

Can from the brewery. Very pale, clear golden pour, with a small white head. Nice cereals in the nose with some light grasses, it’s light but gets the point across. Slightly watery mouth feel, subtle carb. Finish is light to medium bitter, with sone more light, bready malts. Some paper, and hay notes round it out. It’s about what I’d expect in a pale lager. I think the other ratings are harsh. Your rating a doors light alternative, don’t expect a world beating lambic.

Tap at the brew room. Hazy orange pour, small off white head. Aroma has some solid funk, and barrel notes, and citrus. Good mouth feel, very lively carb. Finish was sour, and funky, with some good barrel, earthy happiness going on. Can’t say I noticed any cranberry, just some slightly sour random fruity notes.

Huge dose of thick, pithy, sticky pine resin, and floral, green, leafy hops. Hints of mint, and loads of citrus zest, and oils. Soft carb, slightly full mouthfeel. Finish is medium to high bitter, big resinous cap, and loads of grapefruit. Malts are faint, but there, and add a touch of balance, and some slight caramel grains.
