7.6/10
Sampler
Not sure why this is rated so low but I really liked this. Not too smoky, woody and earthen.

6.6/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 4 Overall 6.5
Lightly hazed, light-bright golden-yellow with a small white cap, fizzy lower retention, but some ring left. Gose-like aromas with mild sourness, saltiness, with some herbal notes and hints of dandelion, berries. The taste is mild with some tartiness, a tad nuttiness, citrus juices. A wet, bland mouthfeel. Alright, but wish this one had more punch to it.

A deep dark porter with a thin mocha head. In aroma, sweet fruity chocolate malt with dark fruits, light licorice, alcohol warmth, pleasant. In mouth, a nice sweet chocolate malt with dark fruits, licorice, alcohol warmth, light bourbon barrel notes, pleasant.

Hazed, golden colour with an amber hue. A fizzy off-white head, dissipating quick enough and no more than a tiny ring is left around the brew. Bready aromas with some notes of citrus, spices, apples, wood and pears. The mouthfeel and taste are a little milder. Still, nice spices, tea-notes and light fruitiness. Quite a unique, wild plant-based beer that is interesting to try.

Lightly hazed, amber colour with a golden highlight. The head is beige, frothy, decent lasting with some foamy streaks of lacing. Getting some nice spices over the darker malt base of rye, barley, and with time, hints of bananas from the wheat, woody notes. Berries come out in the taste over the bananas, wood, and a nice milder blend of spices and rye-barley. Maybe a touch too much banana-wheat in the flavours - even the tart from peel is felt. Quite an interesting amberish ale with a nice mix of rye, bananas, spices and a tad juniper.

6-pack of these 355ml mixed IPAs in a beige box. Last of the three different IPAs, pouring an unfiltered, hazed light-golden colour with full small particles floating around. The head is white, frothy-bubbly, decent lasting and leaving good foamy spot on the glass. Lemon zest aromas over mild oranges. The taste is a little on the bitter citrus peel side with a light lingering dryness. Citrus zest flavours with a herbal touch. A pretty good Session IPA that gains points for being unfiltered (as all of these three IPAs in this pack).

6-pack of these 355ml mixed IPAs in a beige box. Lightly hazed but many tiny particles floating around, lively carbonation and a big white frothy head, decent stay leaving light foamy lacing spots. Citrusy hop aromas over mild caramel and hints of grassiness, oats. The mouthfeel has some nice dryness that keeps building. Lemon zest bitterness that lingers. Still, a refreshing IPA with decent citrus notes.

6.9/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
6-pack of these 355ml mixed IPAs in a beige box. Slightly hazed by many, very tiny particles. A bright golden colour with a white cap, average retention and lots of sticky lacing streaks. Coral grains in the aromas with a touch of caramel and decent hop grassiness. The taste shows milder maltiness with a tad citrus, hoppiness. Lighter mouthfeel, light dryness. Not a bad APA that is easy to drink, but not sure I would say American - but more a touch old school, with a bit juiciness.

Slightly hazed, bright golden colour with an off-white head, average stay and some foamy lacing spots. Fresh herbal nose with some minty notes. The taste shows some more freshness from the herbs and again, a touch of mint. Nice to see some basil in here - as quite a fresh herb. Interesting Scotch lovage flowers added to this one. A nice herbal brew with Saison yeast.
