500ml bottle from the lcbo. Pours a hazy yellow, opaque actually, with a large white head. OK, did I get a different bottle than anyone else? There is no peach to be found in here. The base Berliner is nice, wheaty, and tart, light lemon, but no stone fruit or peach at all. Lactic notes, tart finish. Good, but not peachy.

Cask days 2014.
I washoping for an uber version of headstock, but was disappointed. Yeasty hops, citrus pithy bitternes, alot of orange aroma and flavour. Medium bitterness, grapefruit fruit and pith finish, good but not great. A fresh can of headstock beats this.

Quite acidic, even a little lactic. Some grassy hops, light tart cherries. Quite earthy, some light woodiness, candied fruit in the end, pleasant, but a full glass would be a bit much,

Clear golden pour, small white head. Floral citrus aroma, with hints of honey and grass. Soft carb and mouth feel. Very low bitterness, and an incredibly dry finish with almost not aftertaste. Just the slightest hint of lemon and not much else. I can see this being a gateway beer to macro drinkers.

Huge head.... Had a hard time pouring it.
Nice floral hops, some subtle herbs, and tropical fruit. some rose water notes linger in the finish with a sharp hop bitterness. Lightly yeasty, and fruity, with some nice citrus.

A simple, but well made lager. Nice grainy malts, pale with some nice straw flavors and aromas. Grassy hops, subtle spice. Light bitterness, refreshing. Decent.

Hazy dark orange pour, medium off white head. Huge citrus zest aroma, sweet and sticky, with thick lacing on the glass. Lots of malts, cause the beer is quite sweet, but still very bitter. This is basically i think a ramped up version of the headstock. It tastes like headstock dialed up to 11. Super citrucy, but at the same time sweet and malty. Well balanced, but a big beer, slightly boozy, but still very drinkable.

Quite possibly one of the darkest beers I’ve had in a while. Jet black, medium dark mocha head. The aroma is a slap in the face of spicy bourbon, and earthy, sweet wood, with subtle vanilla and charred brown sugar. As it warms some of the roasty malts come through. There are hard to find amongst the barrel flavours, but they are there. The body is thick, and viscous. The carb is subtle, but not flat. The finish is roasty, quite sweet, with a lot of barrel. This is bordering on a barrel bomb, but it gets better as it warms and the cocoa, and roasty, soy malts come through.

Opaque black pour, big dark brown head. Aroma is very tart, and vinous, with big Red wine notes, along with some strong balsamic vinegar notes with some solid roasty, dark, burnt malts in the background. The mouth feel is very full, and oily, and the carb is medium. The finish is quite roasty, some soy, and burnt coffee, mixed with some subtle vanilla from the barrel.

Hazy golden pour, big white head.
Big yeasty, phenolic wheat aroma. Slight tartness, even a little lactic. Lively carb, thin mouthfeel. Tart finish with a very light funk. It’s a good attempt but i find it a little thin and lacking in the funk department.
