On tap at Steamworks - Mt Pleasant, pours s clear reddish rosé with a small white head. Aroma reveals lemons upfront, along with red berries, but not much depth. Flavour confirms this, with mostly fermented out berries, a touch of lemon, and light residual sweetness. Nothing much to like here but nothing egregious at least.

Poured from 473mL can. Opaque yellow with white head. Upfront there are some nice bright tropical hops, but it fades fast into a muted almost hop burn quality. A touch yeasty, but not as egregiously as most Superflux hazies. Okay.

473ml can. Pours a cloudy orange gold with a medium, fluffy, long lasting, white head that leaves soapy curtains of lace. Sweet fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, grapefruit, guava, passionfruit, earthy yeast and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, orange peel, pineapple, mango, cantaloupe, earthy yeast, oats and piney hops in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with a creamy, smooth texture and soft carbonation. Juicy and delicious.

I mean it looks fine. But it's gloppy, underattenuated nonsense. I mean you can literally smell the phenols that are kicking because the ferm isn't dialled in. This beer is like S&O and Superflux started making beer but S&O went home and left Superflux to fuck up the most important part. This beer is executed at the level of a Superflux microwaved hot dog, which is really beneath both breweries if we're being honest.

Light brown. Big smoke aroma. A bit husky, but deep smoke all around. Would benefit from a bit more sweetness.

Dark brown, medium body. Decent bitterness. Some nice roast. There's a bit of nuttiness. Not bad.

Pale amber, vibrant colour, slight chill haze. Medium head. Sweet orange hops and light pine on the nose. Fairly bitter, nice bright citrus hops. Sweet kiss of pale malt, a touch of biscuity warmth. Balanced, clean, just classic IPA.

Dark brown. Thick head. Toasty, chocolatey, full body flavourful stout. The base is really good here. Lots of hop, well-balanced, powerful. I don't actually get much in terms of barrel on this, or coconut, so it's just a tasty stout, if you like hoppy stouts.

On tap at The Magnet, pours a deep dark brown with a medium beige head. Aroma has toasted malt, gentle earthiness, and some bready notes. Flavour is dry, with bready malt, a touch of toasted nuts, and pronounced bitterness on the finish. Not too interesting but it’s drinkable, dry and clean (despite the pronounced bitterness).

4oz pour at The Magnet. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Gentle toasted rye bread on the nose. Flavour has toasted rye bread, and bit nutty. It's fine, nothing too exciting, but enjoyable.
