Bottle. Ruby bronze beer with a small off-white head. Sweet malt aroma. Fruity malty flavor with a bit of honey, brown sugar, molasses, and some piney hops. Rich, thick body, but comes with some smoothness. A touch of alcohol warming. Just needs a bit more.

This poured out a huge head of just off white. When this overcarbonated hazy orange/ gold brew settled down it released aromas that were a mild citus with floral notes. The flavor was slightly sweet in the balance with a mildly bitter finish. A little more hops and body would have made a big improvement in this one. An average IPA with no major faults, but not outstanding either.

Bottle. Copper color with a big beige head. Big caramel malt aroma. Light, creamy beer that’s easy to drink. Sweet malt flavor with nice caramalization, but there’s a tinny/metallic off-flavor.

Bottle. Hazy amber color with a HUGE white head that stays and stays (and has a nice hop flavor). Aroma of grapefruit and enough sweet malt backing it. Fruity flavor - orange and a little too light in body. There’s some caramel malt. I wish there was a bit more to it.

Bottle. Amber color with a huge white head - some yeast floaties in the glass. Aroma of oranges and mango with a sweetness to it-fantastic aroma. Body is a little thin, but very easy to drink. Flavor of grapefruit, but not the bitterness you’d expect. Very fruity and balanced. Just wish there was a little more body to it. Some sweetness at the end.

This beer is a lightly murky dark orange color with a medium thin light beige head. Thin lacing throughout. The aroma is very hoppy with citrus and grassy notes. Medium-bodied and crisp with tart hops, pine and fruit flavors. The hops slowly but surely overpowers the other flavors. The finish is dry and somewhat astringent. I like the dose of hops this beer provides but it could stand a little more substance to even it out.

Bottled, thanks hopsrus!
Very dark brown, rich head. Loads of chocoalte up front. Sweet. Molasses make up the majority of the flavours and the thick, syrupy mouthfeel. Notes of liucorice. Flavourful, but unbalanced.

Cloudy amber, rich airy head. Citric grapefruit aroma. Sweet and malty, sugary and hoppy. Powerful with saccharine sweet and bitter finish.

Bottle. Dark ruby brown with almost no head. Sweet malt/caramel aroma. Rich caramel/tofee/brown sugar flavor. This is easy to drink and hides its alcohol well. Low carbonation. It’s not an intense beer, but it’s well put together - like a real scotch ale and not your typical American overdone take.
