This IPA poured a hazy, light yellow. Nice lacing. Scents include pineapple, lemon and orange citrus cooked veggies and hay. First swig was very juicy. Flavours of fruit juice, malt, honey most prominent. Finish is a little bitter with juice flavours lingering.

Lightly hazed, golden-yellow with good carbonation, a huge white head, good retention and lots of sticky lacing. Citrus aromas with lemon zestiness, some orange juice and a touch of oats. A crisp mouthfeel that has juiciness, and good mild dryness. Gets hazier as it pours. Again, citrus in the taste, a touch lighter, but yet - still refreshing. A good juicy Session IPA all-around.

Poured a deep black colour with a ultra-creamy, brown coloured head. Nice lacing. Scents include chocolate, alcohol, licorice and coffee. First swig was full flavoured and very bold. Flavours of dark roast black coffee, alcohol, cocoa, licorice, minimal black cherries and black burnt toast. Finish is really roasty with chocolate coffee flavours lingering.

This black lager poured just that, black with a huge creamy brown head. Nice lacing. Scents include vanilla wafers, powdered cocoa, coffee and sweet to the nose. First swig was slightly thin with flavours of black cherry, vanilla and cocoa just to name a few. Finish is burnt, medium sweet with lightly bitter notes with vanilla wafers lasting forever.

A full range of fruity hop elements - grapefruit, pineapple, melon and mango among them. The Belgian candi syrup makes for a slightly sweet and sticky IPA, but the hops are strong enough to balance it.

Pours a deep caramel amber with an active off-white head. Nose combines resin, citrus and roasted malt. Same major elements in the taste profile - citrus fruit and pulp, a touch of pine resin, caramel, a touch of spice and rye. On the dark edge of the West Coast tradition. Tasty.

A solid, laced white head on a pale straw body. the nose combines Kolsch yeast, citrus and a slight spiciness. Definitely a new world Kolsch - on top of traditional yeast and mild hop notes, citrus, berries, banana and a pleasant bubblegum (double bubble I believe!!) add to a smooth sweet malt base. Medium bodies with very healthy carbonation, adding to refreshing nature of a solid beer.
