Can found at their store downstairs. Pours with nice big white head and a very light yellow body. Smells softly of hops but in a good way, in a lager-y way. Flavour is hoppy lager notes with a smooth and full finish. Quite a nice lager, memorable at least for its hop notes that still accent a full lager flavour.

Can found in Victoria's environs. Pours really nice with heavily carbonated sort of cloudy light orange and very big white head. Smells deeply of sweet peach, not too sugary and a very slight mention of malt. Flavour is more sweet peach juice but not too sweet with soft chewy biscuit hints. Medium finish, full enough. Not bad actually, a little on the sweet side but not cloyingly so. Definitely drinkable.

On tap at the brewpub. The aroma is nothing to speak of, maybe spiced bread if I inhale it through my nose. Has no head and a semi-clear copper body. Flavour is sweet brown sugar with a hint of malt. Mouthfeel is kind of weak, alcohol is well hidden though. There's nothing too exciting here.

On tap at the brewpub. The aroma is soft hoppy lemon, has an okay semi-clear yellow body with minimal white head. Flavour is mellow hops with vague sweet grain hints. Full on the mouth. It's simple but drinkable.

The aroma is mellow hops and nothing else, has an okay yellow body with minimal head. Flavour is nice sharp grain with soft hoppiness on the back en. Mouthfeel is full at least though simple. This is nice, light and refreshing.

The aroma is soft laminated floorboard from 1893 - you know the kind, the old schoolhouse wood varnish that poisoned kids for generations. Well here it is in all its glory. Has a brown body with no head. Flavour is a very mild malt, soft chewy dark bread notes. Mouthfeel is full enough. This is not a bad attempt at a mild ale though not a great one. By the way I just love how this beer gets rated every 10 years...

Bottle at Black Christmas 2018, single batch n 10
Hazy blond colour. Perfumy, moderately sour, fruity, with some residual sugars to balance it out, and light acetone.
Not very classy, but ok.

375mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out wild yeast, tart bright plums and some oak. Flavour is fairly funky, with wild yeast, oak, and tart plums. Funky and bright. Not bad.
