On tap at Wayfinder, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out oily resinous hops, plenty of pine, light grass and sweet biscuity malt. Flavour has sweet resinous hops, pine, and biscuity malt. Finishes crisp but still with some residual sweetness. Very good.

Enjoyed a pint on tap at Hop and Hound. Clean, bright golden appearance. Crusher of a pale here for me. Good balance of pils like grains and a juicy citrus hop. Nose is subtle pils and bready grains. Drinks light, but plenty of flavor. Lingering biscuit like grains. Low bitter citrus. Not the most unique offering from these guys, but who cares. Quite enjoyable indeed.

16 oz can poured, from a 4 pack enjoyed over the last week or so. Dense hazy juicy orange appearance with plenty of rocky foam head. Gentle aroma of some pilsner grains and juicy hops. Smooth taste, resinous hops, creamy body. These oat IPA's always have a unique and enjoyable texture to them. Flavorful hop profile, with a moderate to low bitterness to finish it off. New style IPA with some classic hops headlining. Another solid IPA from one of my favorites around here.

1 pint can. 2021 vintage. Can says 13.4%. Pours a dark brown with short fizzy head that settles quickly. Aromas of toffee, nougat, raisins, rye whiskey, and bready malts. Flavors follow same with emphasis on oaky whiskey and golden. Definite sour note also pops up though covered by sweet toffee and alcohol by the end

16 oz. can, pours black with a hint of mahogany with a small tan head. Nose is dominated by the peat whiskey upfront, with a touch of bourbon, dark dried fruits, and toffee. Flavour is rich and elegant, with lots of peated whiskey barrels, bourbon, dark dried fruits, molasses, toffee, and burnt sugars. The peated whiskey reigns supreme here; wonderful depth, adequate sweetness, and the alcohol is well-situated. Wonderful stuff.

On tap at Chuck's Greenwood, pours a near-black with a small beige head. Aroma has some fusel alcohol notes upfront, with glue and bourbon barrels. Flavour is quite harsh, with notes of glue, fusel alcohol, bourbon and booze. This is rough, with all sorts of rough edges. The glue and booziness indicates something not going exactly right. Needs work.

Very light lemon peel. Hazy yellow pour with decent head. Hop tang cloying finish. Doesn't really work on either level, the dry hopped or the pilsner. Loses crispness of a normal pils and doesn't have enough hops to make it something else. Can.

On tap at Loyal Legion, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out bright citrus hops, some orange peel, and light dankness. Flavour is full of orange rinds, citrus hops, and crisp biscuity malt. Fairly sweet but well-hopped. A little malty and lacking the bitter punch that I'd want. Decent.
