Aromas are sweat, cat pee, caramel malt, citrus and resin. Flavors are similar to nose, leans slightly sweet, but still bitter enough and good carbonation to balance. Satisfying. A touch of booze in the finish. Nice beer.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours clear, bright gold with a nice white head. Mixed fruits for aroma. Med body. Well towards dry and more than moderately bitter. Lots of fruit and spice aspects. I'm going for passion fruit, peach and citrus. Clearly more things in this complex flavor profile. Very tasty lager.

Capped 500 from Corti Brothers. Pours translucent gold with a transient white head. Aroma is Brett with some pale stone fruit notes. Med body at least. Flavor is pale stone fruit and Brett. Well towards dry. Earth and Bretty replace the need for bitterness. Seems to have a touch of yeast/spice - but not the Belgian sort. Very nice flavor.

Can from Corti Brothers. Pours clear, brassy gold with a large foamy white head that did some lacing. Aroma of citrus/pine with an earth note. Med body. Flavor is the aroma with definitely some earth; also passion fruit. Rather fruity but quite dry. Moderately bitter at least. Prickles - arguably from passion fruit. Nice ale.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours hazy grapefruit gold with a large creamy white head. Aroma is tropical with a light green onion note. Med body. Juicy and not too dry, but not sweet. Moderately, but slightly bitingly, bitter. Very tropical flavor mix, but green onion/garlic seems quite strong. Pleasing mouthfeel. A bit of earth in the finish. Very, very nice.
