On tap at Slackwater, pours a cloudy bright peachy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out pineapples upfront, a little peach, and citrus hops. Flavour reveals the bright, juicy pineapples upfront, but the hops collide with them and muddle them up. Finishes juicy, dry, and bitter. Pleasant.

On tap at Slackwater, pours a fairly clear copper orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops, gentle earthy notes, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour reveals a nice west coast piney hop character, with a bit of vegetal character, and crisp bready malt. Piney and herbal hops on the finish, with low bitterness for the style. Good stuff.

On tap at Slackwater, pours a deep dark reddish brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out gentle toasted malt, with subtle earthy undertones. Flavour is roasty and fruity, with red fruits, toasted malt, and some earthy notes. Kind of a strange structure, with the fruitiness and roastiness, but it's pleasant enough.

On tap at Slackwater, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is very chalky, with earthy hops, chalk, and yeast soup. Flavour is chalky and yeasty, with yeast soup, chalk galore, and pithy stone fruits. Pretty much everything I can't stand about NEIPAs. Chalk bomb. Crap.

On tap at Slackwater, pours a clear bronze / amber with a small off-white head. Aroma is a little vegetal, with toasted caramel, bready malt and herbal hops. Flavour is a bit better, with a decent balance of herbal hops and bready caramel malt. Still a little too vegetal but generally okay.

On tap at Slackwater, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma is quite grainy, with subdued herbal notes, and crisp crackery malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with a crisp, grainy, crackery character upfront, and a touch of herbaceous notes. Crisp and clean, but a little too herbal. Not bad.

473mL can, pours a hazy dull golden with a tiny head. Nose is fairly laid back, with muted peaches and a hint of lacto. Flavour is heavier on the lacto, with moderate tartness, bright but muted peaches, and a touch of acidity. Tart, fruity and yogurty on the palate. Bright and easy.

Good foam on a semi-cloudy orange body, nice bright pine and pineapple aroma. Flavour is lots of bitter hops, pine, more pineapple. full mouthfeel, good oiliness. I can dig this.

Pours a really nice deep clear copper with big foam that has staying power. The aroma is soft biscuit with carbonated caramel hints. Flavour is deep biscuit, chewy, full. Simple but full mouthfeel, not too sweet. Nice and drinkable.
