Sampled on tap at the Alibi Room, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma of pleasantly restrained floral hops, and lots of bready malt to back. Flavour is certainly unique with the malt profile showing off first with caramel and bready malt, transitioning to quite bitter piney and floral hops, leaving a slightly sweet, pleasantly hoppy astringency. Can't find the word to describe another quality of this that sets it apart... Very good flavourful A.P.A.

Black. Lots of chocolatey, fruity aroma with rich coffee roastiness as well. Full-bodied, burly roastiness, coffee, light stinging richness with underlying dark fruit. it hits all the right impy notes with style and balance. Good impy, for those who still want nuance and balance in this style.

On tap at The Alibi Room for their 300th Beer Menu, pours pitch black with a small tan head. Aroma of heavy roasted malt, lots of espresso and light sweetened chocolate. Flavour of espresso beans, vanilla, roasted malt and light chocolate. Finishes on a roasty, slightly bitter note. Medium body - full roasty palate. Very enjoyable.

Muddy blond color. The aroma is quite spicy and nice. The mouthfeel is dry, with wheat flavor, clear spicy character, hints of citrus fruits (none of the promised banana) and a bitterness that is on the high edge for a Witbier. Not bad.

2015-11-16, draught at the brewpub, as Clover IPA, 6.5% ABV, 6-5-7-3-13=34
Hazy amber color with creamy head. The aroma is hoppy, but also buttery. Lean body, the malts are a bit chewy, the hopping is zesty, resiny; a bit grassy in the final; overall I like it, but the diacetyl is almost unbearable.
Controversial.
2011-03-14, draught at the brewpub, as Clover Ale, 6.3% ABV, 7-4-7-4-14=36
Hazy golden color; small creamy head. Nice aroma of fruity hops, mellow, with some late oranges and bubblegum. The malt/toffee flavor is reasonably good, the hopping is quite satisfactory too, although a bit rough (more bitter than aromatic); there are some decent fruity components from the hop. Strong and long final, a bit cheesy. Good beer, not exciting though.
