Description
Craft beer is a passion, an obsession and a journey. This journey has opened our eyes (and taste buds) to some of the finest examples of beer this planet has to offer. Our tastes and expectations have forever changed, and so have our methods of enjoyment. From beer trades, to home brewing, to attending release parties and festivals one thing became clear… We rarely drink the same beer over and over again, and we love to share.

Lemon peel and light banana. Some florals. Pours slightly hazy golden with pretty good head and lacing. Light bitter end. Good for style. Tap at brewery.

Draft pour at Dominion Wine and Beer. Poured a kind of dark plum color, basically flat. Big malt and even bigger wheat on the nose, raisin and plum. Sweet booze really comes out in this one. There's a significant amount of barrel aging on this one. Mellowed out as it warmed.

16oz can pours a lightly hazy gold with some sticky white head. Nice nose and the nectaron shines. Very peachy, not sweet, grass and lime, gooseberry. Flavor has white plum and gooseberry and lime. Light grist and straw. Tannic and lightly bitter. Medium bodied. Well made.

Oak tannin, raisin and plum. Maybe some apricot. Pours clear brown without any head. Syrupy consistency. Some lemon, pineapple. Sweet and boozy end, with bitter oak. A solid beer, but compared to the rest of the 10th anniversary lineup, maybe not up to that transcendental tier. Tap at Ocelot.

Jesus, this anniversary selection is banger followed by more banger followed by uber banger. This, I guess is the more uber extra banger. Well, I'm torn between this and the #4. Because I prefer a West Coast sensibility, but this one speaks to my heart with the Nelson grapefruit. Murky orange pour without much head. Lots of kiwi, both the fruit and the place. Tangerine peel. Body is decent for a hazy--it packs a dose of bitterness here. A little hop tang but not much--body of evidence like Madonna here. Tap at brewery.

Rich as fuck. Forget 2006, I love this now, and perhaps more now because these beers are harder to find in 2025. Lots of pine. It's been a minute since I tasted a beer with this certian rich body. Lots of Simcoe, and definitely get the amarillo. Pours clear golden with good soap bubbles. Bitter end. Awesome beer. Tap at brewery.

Another excellent IPA. This one is more like mango and ripe strawberry, blackberry. Pineapple, maybe a note of peach. Tons of berry here. Pours slightly hazy golden with pretty good head and lacing. Light bitter end, a hint of rooty astrgincy. Tap at Ocelot.

Light roast and some hint of coffee. Polotmavy! This one kind of tastes like a viena, if anything. Halfway between Dunkel and Viena. Dark brown pour with ok head. Light bitter end with a hint of lime. Tap at Ocelot.
