On tap at Banana Jam Café. Pours clear gold with a white head. Tons of toasted coconut on the nose. Flavour has a ton of toasted coconut, dry pine, slightly floral. Finishes bitter, but a bit hollow. It's interesting and well-executed despite the body.

On tap at Banana Jam Café. Pours nearly black with a beige head. Toasted coconut, vanilla, and dark chocolate malts on the nose. Flavour has dry roasted malts, toasted coconut, vanilla, and a dry bourbon finish. I like this, it's a bit more subtle than this style normally is, but it works very well.

On tap at Banana Jam Café. Pours clear light gold with a white head. Resinous pine and sticky malts on the nose. Flavour has resinous pine and sticky malts. This is better than their single IPAs, but there's still a slight seltzery quality to the carbonation that limits the quality.

On tap at Banana Jam Café. Pours clear blonde with a white head. Very light hops on the nose. Flavour has soft cracker malts, dry grassy pine, some gentle dankness. This is just too timid on both the hops and body, a bit disappointing given the collab.

Pours very dark brown with a beige head. Lots of deep roast on the nose. Flavour has tons of dry toasted bread, dry pine; a bit thin and seltzery. The roast character is excellent, but the body and hops are a bit wanting.
