Aroma is funky fruit with some crumpled sweet grain. Has an okay white head and lighter gold body. Flavour is fruity malts and lagery dryness, then a good dry finish. It's a nice sweeter pilsner but it is hard to see exactly what they are doing here.

On tap at the brewery, alternately labelled Blackberry Saison. Has a soft fruit aroma and then the malt comes in later. Has good foam and then a bit of cloudy body. Flavour is a funky mix and the interaction between the blackberry and malt is odd. I would prefer more fruitiness. Dry on the mouth and quite pleasant, but this needs more blackberry to balance it out.

On tap at the brewpub. Has a slight wine perfume scent with grape hints for sure but they are subtle behind the grain. Has a nice full gold body and minimal head. Flavour is okay soft grains with faint notes of grappa. Soft and sweet mouthfeel. It's a unique concept but more could be done with it.

Lighter gold body with slight cloud and some fast disappearing head. Lots of oily grapefruit on the nose but little else. Flavour is big oily grapefruit, sour to the core, with meaty juiciness. Oh yeah. A good IPA, better than average for a local but not hitting it into the global category.

Very nice big foam and blacker brown body. Sweet cream coffee on the nose, some roasted barley, little else. Flavour is creamy barley with some smoke, shoe leather. Medium finish. I bet you think this beer is about you, don't you, don't you? Well you're where you should be all of the time and if that's so, drink this porter.

Mellow down town Julie Brown on the body with some matter of factual white foamy head. Soft amber aroma, coppery sugar. Flavour is malt and brown sugar lacking fullness but still with that dry finish. Kind of hit and miss, a few things to note here but it's far from a stellar amber.

Cute white foam sits on top of cloudy yellow. Has a funky citrusy juice aroma like ipa on it, hints of saison. Flavour is juicy pineapple and orange. But still with the dry finish! A nice brew, fruity and fresh and well brewed.

Clear ish brown body with minimal foam on top. Nice aroma of coffee but little else. Flavour is dry coffee. Dry finish too. Simple but does the job for a porter.

Lighter copper body with a hint of brown and minimal head. Floor cleaner aroma, probably very dry malt but it comes off bad. Flavour is dry maltiness with a hint of beeswax. Dry finish again. Whatever they're mixing into this concoction is working against them.

Nice coppery brown body with some mellow foamy head. Aroma of malt and brown sugar on the nose, slightly sharp. Flavour is a nice dry coffee with a dry finish. I quite like this take on the brown ale - crisp and malty, not sweet and muddy like some other locals I tried. Well done.
