Get Loose from Steel & Oak Brewing
5 years ago
6.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 4 Overall 6
Muddy light orange body and okay foam. Good chewy orange zest aroma, chalky with faint pine notes. Tastes of more chewy orange zest and chalk, but finishes too watery. An okay hazy.

Berliner Weisse - Original from Steel & Oak Brewing

6.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 4 Overall 7
Semi cloudy pale straw body and minimal foam. Nice tart grain on the nose, yeast hints. Tastes of nice tart grain with soft citrus funk notes. Finish is a little metallic which should be fixed, otherwise definitely hitting the mark.

Turned Out from Steel & Oak Brewing

6.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 7
Cloudy medium gold body and okay foam. Sweet cotton candy hop aroma, spruce tips maybe but they seem quite artificial to me. Taste is much the same with good strawberry notes on pine. Ends full and chewy, and maybe my expectations were off but this seems to be an odd output for a spruce ale.

Smoked Helles from Steel & Oak Brewing

5.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 3 Flavor 7 Texture 4 Overall 6
Clear deep gold body and modest foam. Maybe some vague sweetness on the nose, but everything is way too faint sadly - I'm smelling this, not snorting it. Taste is honeyed grain with a bit of wood, ending smooth but a little wet. I was hoping for more smoke, it's nice enough but a little suboptimal.

Cloudy yellow body and okay foam. Nice orangey hops on the nose though a little wet. Taste is nice chewy hops, lemon zest notes, slightly chalky finish. Could be more full and crisp but getting there.

Anniversary Pilsner from Steel & Oak Brewing

5.4/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
Okay medium gold body and minimal foam. Really faint pilsner hops on the nose. Taste is nice sweet grain, soft sweet grassiness, ending slightly snappy. Still, for a pilsner I find it a little too muddled and wet.

Vibrancy from Steel & Oak Brewing

5.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 6
Bottle. Dullish orangey colour. Thin head. A bretted version of Vibrant Things, it’s got an overripe fruit character I’m not nuts about. Low carbonation. A bit of bitterness, soft body, moderate fruitiness. I wouldn’t say this comes together all that well, really. Good elements maybe but clashy.

Vibrant hazy yellow with a big head. Soft pale malts, medium bitternes that drops a bit of grapefruit into the finish. But otherwise, the hops bring more of a papaya/melon accent.

Anniversary Pilsner from Steel & Oak Brewing

7.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
473mL can, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Nose brings out gentle tangy hops, crisp grassiness, and biscuity malt. Flavour brigns out that NZ-style tangy hoppiness, crisp grassiness, and crackery malt. Really nice crispness and brightness to this, with a tangy, grassy finish. Great bite and structure. Very good.
