Can sample at a tasting at Tom L's place. Thanks Lior D. Cloudy yellow with a bit of floaties. Citrus, coriander, tart, lacto, a bit of saltiness, quite light-bodied. Good and refreshing.

Cloudy, dull tan...does not look great. Guava minimal. Gose minimalist, tart, yeasty. Simple and muddled. Doesn't bring the guava or the base gose.

Looks dull, no head. Looks terrible, which is often what happens when you dump a bunch of stuff in a cask. Bitter, grenadine, lime are the dominant characteristics. Not cohesive, and the additions do not improve the base beer.

On tap at Parallel 49, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Nose brings out subdued earthy and piney hops, with dry biscuity malt. Flavour is fairly earthy and herbal in the hop department, with light pine, and a crisp biscuity malt base. Balanced fine and finishes lightly bitter. Uninspiring.

Cloudy and pale. Lots of lavendar and lemon oon the nose. Fully body, early grey, and light lavendar. Not sure what the point is.

Draft - Tea leaf and a touch woody. Clear copper with a decent white head. Woody, light sweetness and a touch of funk with some citrus. Confused.

16 oz can gifted by Oakes. Thanks! Quite a treat for the strange brew fan like myself. I say strange, because smoked beers are one thing, and this brings smoked to another level. Dark dense, thick midnight pour. Dark brown fizz head. Toasty, smoked aroma. Flavor is a similar toasty, roasted malt, covered by a smoked ham. Lingering campfire. So much that it seems dry as a result. Smoke. Can't say much more about it. Surprised how much I enjoyed this.

Dull appearance, no head. Light amber. Cherryish notes, touch boozy. No particular character beyond light sweetness and fruity. Gloppy mess.

On tap. Pours a hazy light orange mahogany with no head. Aromas of piney orange and cherrywood plus toasted malts. Flavors of dull fruity esters, wood, light toffee, and toasted malts. OK but not very memorable.

On tap at Parallel 49, pours an opaque dark orange amber with no head. Aroma reveals light red wine barrels, light tart cherries and a hint of caramel. Flavour has tart cherries upfront, followed by red wine and caramel. Strangely tart, vinous and messy. Not bad, but this isn't executed skillfully.
