7.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
Had this at FH CHWK. Only found out it was made at Old Yale when it didn't qualify for happy hour pricing. Fuck. Hazy blonde, with a medium head. The hops are a mandarin, pineapple and lemon zest. On the palate, there’s bright citrus hops, light body, a touch of sweet pale malt. The tartness is pretty funny because it seems deliberate even though it’s not a tart style. That tartness just makes it more refreshing, honestly. So yeah, really like the beer. Bummer about the service experience on that.

Foggy yellow body and modest foam. Soft floral licorice on the nose, slight kumquat. Flavour is more citrus, good hops, slight spicy lychee. Nice oiliness to round it out. Decent enough ISA.

Pale and hazy. Just a thin head. Obviously the rosemary is huge on the aroma, but the grapefruit is in there as well, which I appreciate. Tart, lots of rosemary, wheaty, has a refreshing quality and that comes from that burst of juicy grapefruit kicking in at the finish. Well-balanced, refreshing, and the flavour elements make sense with the base. I’m down. Probably the best beer I’ve had from Old Yale.

Pale and opaque, with a slight pinkish accent. No head. Has a light fruitiness, I think these fruits go well together, and the wit is a good base for those notes, too. Refreshing, wheaty, I mean this hits for what it’s trying to be. The juicy acidity and fact that it’s not cloying are strong points for me.

So they added a dash of flavour to the West Coast IPA, I guess. It looks the same. Dullish pale. Has a bit of a piney character, I mean it’s the same IPA, but somewhere there’s a touch of toasted coconut. I would actually like quite a bit more coconut – I’ve had a good example somewhere before and it was massive coconut. So it’s okay but they left a bit of potential upside on the table.

Has nice cloudy yellow body with good foam, smells of sweet rosemary, slight grapefruit, yet a septic vibe. Flavour is rosemary and soft grapefruit tartness, full and crisp finish. It's nice enough, well balanced.

Nice creamy beige foam on dark black body, smells of perfect Irish cream, the liqueur replicated most excellently. Flavour is nice smooth chocolate, soft Irish cream syrup, a little mellow for the abv. There's full lingering creaminess. This is wonderful, a standout.

Has a watery brown body with no real foam, smells of good spicy cinnamon soft dark biscuit, yet no sign of the bourbon. Flavour is nice coffee, cinnamon, sweet biscuit, crisp and dry finish. Very nice but I can't say I detect any bourbon.

Has okay darker gold body with little foam, smells of heavy sweet malt and syrup. Flavour is all soft maltiness, chewy, vague thick pine, there's a full and oily finish and the abv is very well hidden. Still, it's quite simplistic and kinda boring.

Murky orange body with little foam, smells of sweet hops, slight vinegar, I can't detect any coconut. Flavour is all heavy coconut and sweet hops but they don't work well together, feels too chemical and there's a lingering chemical aftertaste. I get the idea they're after but this definitely needs some tweaking.
