Hazy and pale, but the sourness seems not only yoghurt but something slightly wonky. Can’t put my finger on it, though. On the palate, clean, lactic, touch of oak, hint of sweetness in the finish.

Golden colour, with a thin head. On the nose, has that toasty note that is from the maple after the sugars have fermented out. I mean it’s a funny character, garam masala I swear, or at least cumin and cardamom. But I know that’s just the residuals after you ferment out maple. Okay, I like a beer that makes me think.

The purple comes through as this funny opaque pale purple – most butterfly beers look better than this. No head. More of a straight up lemon sour on the nose. It’s actually sweet up front – okay the description says there’s clover honey in here. That explains it. The lemon is still nice – if I make lemon tea I’ll want this much honey in here, but in a beer I’d prefer it more sour and lemony.

Pale amber and hazy. Medium head. The aroma is overripe fruit and maybe like a rotten pineapple thing – over the top hopping that doesn’t work out. On the palate, it comes together better, though. It’s got a weedy, papaya and stuff. Better on the palate than the nose.

Hazy and pale. No head. Tart, maybe a touch saline in the finish. It’s lemony, but I wouldn’t say preserved lemon specifically. So a nice, light, tart lemon gose.

Pale amber colour with a slight haze. Thick head. The spruce character is different than most, richer and earthier, and more distinctive. Not sure what they did different from other spruce beers, but I’m digging it. The base golden ale has good body and a decent sweetness that complements this spruce character quite well.

Wanted to try this because I thought “I ride past Poplar Grove all the time.” Actually, I ride past Cedar Creek all the time, but I confuse those two wineries like you wouldn’t believe. Pale and has some haze. Thin head. There’s just a touch of the barrel character and a hint of brett. On the palate, starts sweet, then a bit of tartness and brett come into play, and finally vinous sweetness.

Pale amber and hazy. Medium head. On the nose, the hops are more danky in nature. On the palate, sort of spicy. Good malt base, and a spicy, weedy hop character.

On tap at The Bakery, pours an opaque dark red with a small pink head. Aroma brings out lots of tart boysenberries upfront, with a touch of lacto. Flavour is tart and fruity, with lots of jammy tart boysenberries. There's a touch of pie spice, but it's mostly just fruit-forward. Not complex but it's well-made. Solid.

On tap at The Bakery, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out light oak, a little citrus and some bugs. Flavour is subtle but reveals the red wine, a touch of bourbon, and wild bugs. Subtle and unusual, but the barrels work well together and there's some complexity that cuts through nicely. Good stuff.
