6.6/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
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.

On tap. Pours a hazy amber with light head. Aromas of dried limes and wheaty malts. Flavors of limes, a touch of tequila, salt and more wheaty malts.

Opaque , thin head. Yeasty nose but also a lot of bright lychee, apricot sort of hops. Soft body, light hop burn. Fluffy malt sweetness, not bad.

750ml shared @ Ryan's with Farees. Appearance: hazy golden with a white head. Aroma: some Brett, barnyard, rustic, a bit peppery as Belgian saisons. Taste: along the same lines. Overall: quite good.

Poured from 750mL bottle. Mostly clear with big white head. Oak, brett, funk, some feet and spelt. Decent.

On tap at 33A, pours a clear dark reddish chestnut brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out toasted nuts, bready malt, and a hint of sweet toffee. Flavour is fruity and malty, with plenty of sweet toffee, some toasted nuts, and bready malt. Finishes like a sticky toffee pudding. Not exactly on style but it's a nice malty strong lager.
