Bottle split at Level 42, thanks to Leighton, 07/09/16. Rich manogany brown with a decent tan cap. Nose is earthy wood, toasted grains, spice, earl grey, candied fruit, brown sugars. Taste comprises light spice, candy peel, toffee, tangy dark fruits, liqourice, black pepper, faint chocolate. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close with a light tarte wash. Ok but lower down the pecking order for the style.

Bottle shared in London - sourced from a at. Pours deep brown with a creamy, beige head. Toasted spices in the nose, light yeast, dried berries. Light sweet flavour with leathery berries, light acidity, further spice notes, brown bread. Light bodied with lively carbonation. Somewhat tangy on the finish with light sweaty funk, toasted bread crust, orange rind, lavender, mellow earth. Enjoyable stuff. Novel.

Poured into a tall tulip, the appearance was a sly hazy burnt orange color with a slim finger’s worth of white foamy head that quickly dissipated. Sly remnant of lacing stuck to the sides.
The aroma had the chili with the lime then with some sweet honey and then a sly scorched meat (yes, this actually kinda smelled like tacos, lol, okay, is that what the brewer intended, I don’t know, but I like it, haha).
The flavor, once again, yes, tacos, everything tacos, just like in the aroma, but the meaty portion super far underground. Sly dry chili spice to quick sweet fruity aftertaste running on into the same sort of finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Carbonation feels super refined (and this is actually a week old, lol), okay, yes, the spice of the chili hits nicely with the vegetal/fruity feel, but I like it.
Overall, yes, I’d probably lean close to the spice/herb/vegetable style, but this is a really nice one if you like tacos. Too bad, I’m having this on a Friday, should have saved this for Taco Tuesday.

Draught@CBC2016 (yellow session). Hazy yellow colour with a small white head. Aroma is sweet malts, some citrus, fruits, mild ripe fruits, some berries and mild sourish notes. Flavour is rather tart and acidic fruits along with some toffee and mild yeasty notes. Quite dry palate to it.

750mL bottle, sent from wilco (thanks a lot, Mike!), pours a cloudy bright yellow with a large white foamy white head - lots of retention. Aroma is intense on the citrus upfront, followed by floral dry hopping and saison yeast. Flavour is very bright and fairly spicy, with lots of spicy yeast, loads of citrus, and floral dry hopping. Aggressive but fitting carbonation. Balance and complex. Excellent.

Cloudy gold with a big chili lime aroma, medium bodied with a very round carbonation, like drinking a mildly spiced taco. It’s a deft use of spice and chili.

750 ml purchased at Hill Farmstead, split 2 ways. Color is cloudy gold with full lasting head. Nose is strong amounts of citrus, citrus pith, and yeast. As it warmed notes of wood.
Flavor is balanced with sweet grain and a nice level of bright citrus hops. The yeast shows a very mild pepper or herbal note. The finish shows a hint of oak and ends refreshing. ABV is not found and I was surprised at the gravity. However, the body does have a fuller texture. Nice stuff.
