355mL can. Pours very deep brown with a beige head. Aroma has a great bready, toasted malt character, woody, and some crisp hoppiness. Flavour has is similarly with tons of deep roast malts and a nice crisp hoppy finish. Easily the best beer I've had from this brewery.

5oz pour at brewery. Pours hazy yellow with white head. Aroma has orange pith. Flavour has orange juice, some pith. A bit of chalk, but not too bad. It's okay.

355mL can, pours black with a medium light brown head. Nose brings out lots of big roasted malt, pronounced woodiness, and ample hops. Flavour is much the same, with big roasted malt, light wood, and a nice hop blast to balance. Really nice roastiness, almost reminiscent of a toned down Yeti. Damn, this is excellent.

473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy pale straw colour with a small, foamy, short lived, white head that laces. Mild aroma of rice, lemongrass and jasmine. Sweet flavour of grainy pale malt, lemongrass, rice, jasmine and herbal hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and average to soft carbonation. Clean, refreshing and crushable.

On tap at 33 Acres, pours a clear ros� amber with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of wild bugs, some red grape must, and a touch of oak. Flavour is oaky and buggy, with plenty of wild yeast, dry oak, a bit of grape must, and some toasted grains. Not the most refined wild yeast expression or incorporation of the grape, but compared to the other nonsense these guys brew, this is very good. Compared to many other wilds, this is just solid.

On tap at 33 Acres, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma has some sweatiness upfront that dominates; can't say I get much else. Flavour is just strange and not particularly endearing, with an earthy, sweaty malt character, and potentially some strange fruit infusion. No idea what this is really supposed to be. Regardless, I really don't like it.

On tap at 33 Acres, pours a clear pale yellow with a small wire head. Aroma is pretty much neutral — not really getting a thing from this. Flavour is not much more expressive, with grainy malt and a touch of grass. Dry and grainy, with a touch of residual sweetness. Boring AF.

On tap at 33 Acres, pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma is clean but subdued, with straw and gentle cereal grains — a step above macro swill. Flavour is clean and dry but pretty characterless, with straw and dry cereal grainy malts. Easy to chug but there's little to appreciate here.

It's actually got a murky appearance. A touch of alcohol and indistinct hops on order here, so it's not particularly bright, and the malts are also muddled. Seems like the fermentation isn't spot on, and that gets in the way of everything else.
