Okay black body, minimal head. Nice sweet barley on the nose. Flavour is sweet barley with roasted coffee hints. Mouthfeel yields some crispness but still wet overall. Missing the salt and overall and all a little bit middling.

Nice darker brown clear copper body and just a little foam. Very soft aroma of particle board. Flavour is weak cereal with a hint of malt. Very watery though. This needs work.

On tap at the brewery. Okay cloudy orange body with minimal head, big juicy pineapple hops on the nose. Flavour is soft sharp hops with minimal malt character. Dry finish. Okay but a little thin.

Reddish brown body with minimal head. That could be vanilla and cardamom on the nose but it really comes across more like floor cleaner, or oversugared rosewater or a cheap perfume from the Thrifty Foods down the way. Flavour is muddy sugar water with plenty of vanilla, kind of like a really oversweetened oatmeal. Big full sweet mouthfeel. So I postulate that this would go great as part of a hangover breakfast.

On tap. Nice yellow gold body with modest foam. Soft funky coffee with dried grain notes. Flavour is more coffee with crisp wheat notes. Dry finish. Very nice, unique even, and even more surprising it seems to work.

Okay medium copper and a bit of foam. Soft grain aroma. Flavour is bright grains with soft citrus hints. Nice crisp finish. Quite a good lager, definitely one of the better local ones.

Roast and caramel, with plenty of salt. Pours black with mocha head and lacing. Bittersweet finish. Good balance and pretty good all around. I even actually get the Himalayan salt rather than a regular salt vibe too, though at first I thought it would just be a gimmick. Tall Can.

This is horrible, cardomom overpowers everything…Not good enough for a drain pour, dumped in toilet

16 oz can poured, gifted by Andrew. Thanks! Dark cola brown pour, thin patchy fizz head. Cocoa and caramel. Quite the candy bar of a brown/porter. Not screaming a salted attribute, but it's there. Overall, smooth, unique, and tasty. On board with this.
