Smoked Hefeweizen - Barrel-Aged from Steel & Oak Brewing
11 years ago
3.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 3 Texture 4 Overall 2.5
Tasting at Matt’s
Hazy light amber color with small frothy head, not persistent. Weird smell, soft cheese, wet socks, mushy banana, maybe bourbon. The mouthfeel is unexpectedly sour; there is some smoke flavor, but the body is too thin, and for 7.5% the booze feeling is too high; add to this also some vegetables, cabbage.
A real mess, very unpleasant.

Smoked Hefeweizen - Barrel-Aged from Steel & Oak Brewing

4.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 4
650mL bottle, pours a cloudy dark orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out the smokiness and JD barrels upfront -- doesn't smell like a hef. Flavour is unusual, with JD barrels, banana, medium smoke, and stale wheat. Why the hell would they barrel age a smoked hef, let alone in shitty JD barrels? An embarrassing testament to where the Vancouver beer scene still is. Really bad.

Brune Aigre from Steel & Oak Brewing

5.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
Draft at the brewery. Light brown colour. Mild aroma showing a touch of sourness. The flavour is a little sour, too, not a lot. The malts are fairly mellow, so the overall presentation is a tart, slightly dirty brown ale, as opposed to anything intensely soured or Belgian in nature.

Brune Aigre from Steel & Oak Brewing

5.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
On tap at Steel & Oak, pours an opaque maroon with a small beige head. Aroma is very strange, with red stone fruits and bready malt. Flavour is just bizarre, with toasted chestnuts upfront, some skunky herbal notes, and maybe a touch of the sourness. Not a typical sour brown by any means. Not bad, but something seems off here. Needs work.

Projekt 0003: Jarrylo & Hüll Melon from Steel & Oak Brewing

5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5
On tap at Steel & Oak, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small off-white head. Nose brings sharp citric notes and some rather astringent bitterness. Flavour is similar, with a harsh hop bitterness, some citric notes and a dry bready malt backing. Not the smoothest beer by any means - rather harsh in fact, especially for a pale ale. Not a disaster but pretty messy. Not a fan.

On tap at Steel & Oak, pours a cloud orange with a small off-white head. Aroma is pretty restrained, with toasted bready malt and lager yeast. Flavour is about the same, with light spiciness from the rye and biscuity malt. Clean enough but lacking in complexity. Not the best flavours either. Okay.

Growler. Hazy, fruity, slightly honeyish, bit melony with lots of spice. Decently bitter, a touch of melon and bitter herbal notes. not quite as bright on the palate as the nose, but pretty good.
