On tap at Woodfire Pizza, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma is a bit dull, with bready malt and a touch of earthy hops. Flavour is rather dull on the hops, with barely any hop expression—just some bitterness—and bready malt. Pretty poor hop expression and balance. Not great, but drinkable… only just.

On tap at Woodfire Pizza, pours a clear blonde with a medium white head. Aroma has lots of grassiness, some herbal notes, and bready malt. Flavour is clean, with lots of crunchy grassiness, straw, and biscuity malt. Finishes crunchy, grassy and herbal. It’s alright.

On tap. Pours a dark reddish mahogany with light head. Not really much there in either aroma or flavors; just a malty beverage with some notes of brown sugar and caramel. Drinkable and nothing really wrong for the style; just an uninspiring example.

On tap. Pours amber with moderate head. Aromas of pine and biscuity malts. Flavors of oily dank hops, bitter citrus and more biscuity malts. Hip overload for the base beer. Just comes across as oily and bitter.

Pale, slight haze, medium head. Light fruity hop, ferm seems not as clean, lacks bitterness, seems to miss the style.

473mL can. Pours black with tan head. Aroma full of bready malts and a touch of espresso. Flavour has toasted malts and a little bit of butter hops. Not bad.

473 ml can. Pours a dark brown with full head. Aromas of quince, a little farmyard, nuts and roasted malts. Flavors carry more tart cider notes and less quince but also powdery chocolate and richer roasted malts. Initially tart, almost balsamic; then dry chocolate before finishing tart. Interest though a bit off balance.

Poured from 473mL can. Clear golden orange with small white head. Super feint smoke, bready malt, meh.

473mL can, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma reveals some gentle smokiness and soft bready malt. Flavour has gentle smokiness upfront, with bready malt and some toasted dry caramel. Dry bready, smoky finish. It's fine.

375 ml bottle. Pours a brownish garnet colour with a couple of bubbles. Aromas of Brett, earthy cherries, plums and wheaty malts. Flavors follow same with green oak and licorice. Warm finish. Nice though quite restrained.
