Amber, touch of haze. Earthy, light fruitiness, touch of caramel. Good complexity, nice balance. British-inspired American beer.

Light amber, bright. Not much head. Sweet, muted hop character. Nice crackery malts...aiming on the malty side of balance with mellow hop fruits. Good beer though the description promised more hops

Bright amber, medium head. On the nose, touch of diacetyl, little bit crackery malt. Light citrusy hop accent, on the maltier side of balance, again just a touch of diacetyl - I think overall I expected the citrus to be more prominent.

Cloudy, fruity nose, papaya and pomelo, moderate bitterness, but the sweet malt character is very good - not so much bready but more like sugars that complement the hop fruitiness really well.

Hazy amber. Thin head. Sweeter, sticky, light fruity yeast, mellow alcohol, good balance, the malt they bring fits well here, and the yeast lends a delicate fruitiness.

Bright, light phenolic plastics and a slight floral accent. Bit crackery...honeyed malts, balanced phenols but still a bit sweet for something intended as a quaffer. Decent example of style, though not a style I particularly care for.

Golden amber and bright. Crackery nose, hardly picking up on brett. Touch of brett on the palate, with sweeter honeyed malts. Odd brew, but there’s nice accent from the brett in the finish that will only get better.

Orangey gold. Not much head. Touch of butter, along with crackery malts. Light body, low bitterness. Malts are biscuity but also a bit husky-hollow. Drinkable, light, not without flaws but ok.

Bright amber, thin head. Aroma is mellow toffee with a fruity yeast accent. Low bitterness but a lot of crackery malts. Again subtle fruity esters, maybe a touch of butter? Maybe. Bit too sweet for my taste

On tap at Optimism, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma brings out dark dried fruits, toffee and brown sugar. Flavour brings out lots of plums, other dark fruits, and some brown sugar. Super malty, with a big plum finish. A little too malty for me, but it works well.
