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.

Medium brown, medium head. Hazy. This has a slight caramel note, whole grain bread, slight dark sugar in there as well. Decent. This is non-vegan, for some reason, but you don't really notice the lactose.

Can, from the brewery, courtesy of microakes. Opaque, kind of a peach juice colour. Very thin head. On the nose, this has a fair bit of lychee, stone fruit and florals, with a touch of alcohol. On the palate, I find this quite well balanced for a hazy DIPA. True, the malts are still a bit lacking, muddled, but the body is big enough, and the hops are very bright. The alcohol kick in the finish dries it out quite nicely, too. I only had one can, but if I can find more I might just do that. S&O may not get the hype for their IPAs.

586 ml can. Pours a bright amber with light head. Aromas of bready malts, dank piney hops, and candied citrus. Flavors follow same with additional pineapple. Bitter finish. Clean. But I’d say old school West Coast IPA along the lines of Fat Tug. Smaller can would be nice…
