On tap at Farmhouse Festival 2018, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with faded gin barrels, chamomile, and saison yeast. Flavour is along the same lines, with loads of chamomile, saison yeast, and gin barrels. A bit harsh, but the third use character means the gin isn't too abrasive. Decent stuff.

On tap at Farmhouse Fest 2018, pours a cloudy dark amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out Worcestershire sauce, tart red berries, and oak. Flavour is nicely complex, with tart red berries, Worcestershire sauce, and oak. Complex and wonderfully balanced. This is excellent.

On tap at Powell, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lightly dank hops, pine, citrus, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour follows accordingly, with dank piney hops, light citrus, some grapefruit, and biscuity malt. Pithy, dank, bitter palate that is well-balanced. Strikes me more as a NE-style beer than anything else. Solid.

Can - Citrus and some pine. Clear gold with a rich white head. Bitter, pine and some orange skin. A bit of malt and overall pretty solid old school IPA.

On tap at Powell, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out some lacto notes, with a spicy and earthy hop character. Flavour is along the same lines, with earthy, spicy hops, some citrus and a heap of lacto. Very yogurty palate, with a floral hoppy accentuation. Not a big fan of this - the cheap lacto-y palate is not what I want from this style. Meh.

On tap at Powell, pours a cloud yellowish blonde with a small white head. Nose brings out grassy notes, cereal grains and straw. Flavour is along the same lines, with straw, grassy hops, and cereal malts. More robust than your average lager. Good stuff.

Sweet fruity flavour of biscuit malt, caramel, orange peel, grapefruit flesh, pineapple, mango and grass with a dry, mild bitter, hop resin finish.
