473mL bottle, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out toasted malt, with a hint of vanilla, and some cocoa. Flavour is along the same lines, with toasted malt and a little vanilla. Lightly sweet, with nice body. Pretty decent actually.

On tap at Northpaw, pours a cloudy bright orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out chewy caramel malts upfront, followed by resinous hops. Flavour is sweet and malt, with lots of caramel malts, followed by resinous hops. Very sweet and over-malted, but at least it's not infected like their prior diacetyl IIPAs.

On tap at Northpaw, pours a clear golden with a pink tinge and a small white head. Aroma brings out raspberry creamsicle, light lacto, and some gentle tart berries. Flavour is pleasant, with sweet and sour raspberries, some creamsicle, light ice cream, and a yogurty base. Nice balance, and certainly clean

On tap at Northpaw, pours a clear a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of tart plums upfront, and a crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with lots of plums, dry biscuity malt and lacto. Clean and drinkable, but nothing special.

On tap at Northpaw, pours a cloudy orange with a small beige head. Aroma brings out bready malt with a hint of toasted caramel. Flavour is clean enough, with bready malt and a hint of toasted caramel. Bready and clean, but pretty forgettable.

On tap at Northpaw, pours a clear copper with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out toasted malt, with little else to speak of. Flavour is along the same lines, with maybe a hint of toasted caramel in there. But of chicory / vegetal character. Not great.

On tap at Northpaw, pours a filthy diarrhea brown with a small white head - how is this a kolsch? Aroma is very pithy and earthy, with some dirty pitted fruits. Flavour is not as bad as expected when looking at it, but it sure is puzzling: notes of pitted fruit, gingerbread and earthy notes. I don't know what the hell this is supposed to be. Not a total train wreck, but such a ridiculously amateur thing.

Bright amber, lasting off white head. Peachy apricot nose. Light malt, vague fruit, medium hop bittereness. Needs refining

On tap at the brewery. Aroma is soft brown sugar and hints of coffee. Has a dark brown body with vague foam. Flavour is an odd scotch and cola mix, bizarre and awkward. Sugar mouthfeel. This is kind of bad but maybe okay for the soda pop generation.

This thing smells like the puck in your local urinal. It has a cloudy yellow and almost no suggestion of foam. Flavour is huge floral urinal puck, sweet and nasty, plenty of cinnamon, more sugariness on the back end. Medium mouthfeel. This is a bad mix and a bad attempt at a far too sweet beer.
