7.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 6.5
On tap at SYC, pours a clear, bright golden with a small white head. Aroma is pretty expressive, with big orange rinds, resinous hops, a touch of pine, and just enough sweet caramel malt to back. Flavour is clean and vibrant, with big resinous hops, some pine, a little orange rind, and a nice clean caramel malt backbone. Assertively hopped and well-constructed overall. Excellent.

On nitro at SYC, pours a red-tinged dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma reminds me more of an oyster or dry stout, with dry toasted malt and some earthiness. Flavour is sweeter than expected, with cocoa, sugars, and earthy roast. Smooth and drinkable but nothing special.

Hazy, dullish gold. No head. It's got some yeastiness, a bit of honeyish malt character. Mellow bugs, but it's overall a bit on the yeasty side. The riesling is mild - I think that's where the honeyish note comes from - and I'd probably like more. The bugs, the barrel, I guess I'd say that the acidity is in a good place and I would like to get everything up pumped up around it. But it's a good beer, solid work.
