This black lager poured just that, black. With a creamy, tan coloured head. Nice lacing. Scents include malt, cardboard, little ripe fruit and ? First swig was nice and smooth with flavours of dark toast, cocoa, coffee and mild hops. Finish is burnt with a bit of hoppy bitterness lingering.

This cream ale poured a lightly hazy, lighter yellow colour with a bright white, creamy head. Nice lacing. Scents include very light coffee, pepper, corn, must and cardboard. First swig was a little watery with flavours of malt, a little vanilla, a little coffee and a bit of spice. Finish is mildly bitter with minimal coffee, cream and vanilla flavours lingering.

Cannette rapportée de chez CWG Barnside Brewery. Notes d’agrumes rappelant le citron et le pamplemousse s’associant avec des accents céréaliers pour nous donner un olfactif assez simple mais efficace. Une mousse épaisse et rocailleuse recouvre un liquide doré et parfaitement limpide. Beaucoup d’agrumes en bouche. Notes de limette, de citron, de pamplemousse. Un très léger profil malté rajoute de subtiles notes de sucre et de miel. Une amertume de conifère avec une touche herbacée compose la finale en exposant également la limette pour donner une impression verdâtre. La palette gustative est impressionnante pour une session. L’amertume est profonde et tenace, relevant une légère âpreté. Très goûteuse pour une session. Bien appréciée! O:6.49 V:5.0 G:8.23 C:3.5 G:16.6 T:39.82 English Can brought back from CWG Barnside Brewery Citrus notes reminiscent of lemon and grapefruit combined with cereal accents to give us a fairly simple but effective olfactory. A thick, rocky foam covers a golden, perfectly clear liquid. Lots of citrus on the palate. Notes of lime, lemon, grapefruit. A very light malty profile adds subtle notes of sugar and honey. A coniferous bitterness with a touch of herbaceous makes up the finish, also exposing lime to give a greenish impression. The taste palette is impressive for a session. The bitterness is deep and tenacious, with a slight harshness. Very tasty for a session. Much appreciated!

Cannette de CWG Barnside Brewery Un olfactif bien tropical avec notes de cantaloup, melon, orange, ananas ainsi qu’une base maltée rappelant le pain sucré. La mousse épaisse et crémeuse recouvre le liquide jaune et opaque. Une texture mince supporte des notes de pamplemousse et d’ananas en entrée de bouche. S’ajoutent des accents de cantaloup et de melon. L’alcool révèle une légère impression de solvant en finale. L’amertume est douce, presqu’inexistante et avec de légers accents de zeste. Le corps est définitivement trop mince et y déplore un caractère malté trop faible. Assez ordinaire ! O:6.63 V:5.0 G:7.15 C:3.0 G:12.25 T:34.03 English: Can from CWG Barnside Brewery A very tropical olfactory with notes of cantaloupe, melon, orange, pineapple as well as a malty base reminiscent of sweet bread. The thick, creamy foam covers the yellow, opaque liquid. A thin texture supports notes of grapefruit and pineapple on the palate. Accents of cantaloupe and melon are added. The alcohol reveals a slight impression of solvent on the finish. The bitterness is low, almost non-existent and with slight accents of zest. The body is definitely too thin and deplores a malty character that is too weak. Pretty ordinary!

Cannette achetée chez CWG Barnside Brewery. Généreuses notes de pain crouté bien frais accompagnées de rumeurs herbacées font foi d’un olfactif surtout malté. De couleur doré clair, le liquide est partiellement voilé. La mousse rocailleuse se maintient moyennement. L’entrée de bouche se veut piquante et bien carbonatée, mettant les malts bien en valeur. Notes de pain subtilement miellées avec accents poivrés, amenant une finale légèrement terreuse et très délicatement herbacée. Bel équilibre avec les notes de poivre qui ajoutent de la complexité. Le coté herbacé des houblons ne ressort cependant pas assez. Une pils tout à fait convenable, selon les standards du style et avec une certaine originalité par ses notes poivrées. Bien appréciée! O:5.46 V:2.5 G:8.05 C:5.0 G:15.43 T:36.44 English: Can purchased from CWG Barnside Brewery. Generous notes of fresh crusty bread accompanied by herbaceous rumours are proof of a mainly malty olfactory. Light golden in colour, the liquid is partially veiled. The rocky moss is moderately maintained. The palate is spicy and well carbonated, highlighting the malts well. Subtly honeyed bread notes with peppery accents, bringing a slightly earthy and very delicate herbaceous finish. Nice balance with pepper notes that add complexity. The herbaceous side of the hops does not stand out enough, however. A very suitable pilsner, according to the standards of the style and with a certain originality by its peppery notes. Much appreciated!

Part of their 2022-23 Winter Edition 4Ganic pack with the Earl of Adelaide. A very slight haze (gets hazier as it pours), light-bright golden colour with nice carbonation and a white soapy head, leaving a little lace. Straw malt base with some Pils spiciness and citrus notes. This continues into the taste with a nice dryness. Quite a nice crisp, refreshing and dry, spicy-hazy APA.

Pretty clean amber colour with golden highlights. The head is fluffy, frothy, warm white with good retention and thick foamy patch of lacing. Citrus aromas with hints of apples, and a mild caramel malt base. The taste shows a little more grassy hops that adds a touch of bitterness, with a blend of citrus zest. A nice dryness in the finish, that continues building. A nice Double IPA that is on the side of West Coast style.

Light+ fruity sweetness malts under a medium- bitterness with pineapple grapefruit and grass. Mouth is medium with average carbonation and a juicy finish. 8/4/7/3+/15
