To quote from my dad: "It’s the most disgusting thing I’ve ever had in a beer. It tastes like toilette water." Pours cloudy piss. No redeeming qualities. Not even the lime or tequila - which was surely a good idea. Fits into the classic meme of calling any beer that doesn’t work out the way it was supposed to in the brewing process a Kolsch. On tap at brewpub.

Some hops, piney style. Some sour malt in finish. Lacing good, clear dark brown with good head. Creamy texture. Ok, but nothing too hardcore. English take on BIPA. On tap at brewpub.

Cask at Central City Winter Cask Fest '13, pours a hazy dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma of spiced dark fruits, dry yeast and biscuity malts. Flavour is quite a bit darker tasting for a biere de garde, with notes of dark fruits, candied sugar, slight spices, yeast and biscuity notes. Fairly robust body for the style and drinks smoothly. Decent stuff.

Tap at Spinnakers. Amber, tanned lace. Moderately hopped, sessionable indeed. Chewy yet light body. Pleasant enough.
