On tap at Sideward, pours a deep dark brown/black with a small beige head. Aroma is dry and laid back, with toasted malt and gentle earthiness. Flavour is dry, with toasted malt, earthiness, and a tiny hint of cocoa. Not much going on but it's pleasantly made. Alright.

On tap at Sideward, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has subtle but reasonably herbal and floral hop character upfront, with a dry bready malt base. Flavour is dry, with lots of oats, subdued floral hops, and a dry bready malt base. Really liking the hearty oat character here. Highly drinkable, with a very pleasant though very subtle hop expression. Very good.

On tap at Sideward, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma is classic west coast, with plenty of piney hops, dankness, and citrus. Flavour has plenty of resinous hop oils, some pine, and a touch of dank. Fairly bitter, oily and biting. Solid west coast on the east coast.

On tap at Sideward, pours a clear pale golden yellow with a medium white head. Aroma has that classic Saaz character — lots of spicy grassy hops — and a crisp crackery malt base. Flavour is crisp, with lots of biting grassiness, straw, and crisp crackery malt. Reasonably bitter and nicely biting. Pretty well-made.

Dark brown. Not much head. Chocolatey aroma with some vanilla. The inspiration is Boston Cream Pie. On the palate there is so much more depth than the aroma predicted…chocolate sure but also vanilla, rum barrel, gentle dark sugars and a touch of fruitiness.

Opaque and pale. Weedy nose, little bit of skink cabbage but somehow not in a bad way. Alcohol in the finish, medium bitterness, some citrus.

Pale gold with a thick head. Spicy, herbaceous hop nose…that is an interesting character. They’re using NZ Cascades and Tettanger in this. Medium body, lowish bitterness. The oats make the body feel richer than it really is.
