Can. Deep clear brown with a beige head that lasts OK. Toasty aroma with hints of roast and stewed fruit. So it tastes - malty but not all that sweet with unobtrusive spicy bitterness. Solid drop.

Can. Gold, a cm+ white head. Sweet bready aroma with nice floral notes. So it tastes. Clean with enough bitterness that gets a little peppery too. Typically Boatrocker: does what it says. Gluggable.

Into a Sam Adams glass - makes sense to brew something like this now you can't get that or Brooklyn here. Brownish amber, modest beige head. Biscuity aroma, some peppery hops. Malty and moderately sweet with enough bitterness to keep you interested. Fair enough - maybe could have used a few more bubbles.
Interesting that Boatrocker seems to be pursuing a two pronged approach - some v expensive fancy beers + quite a few new modestly priced offerings not using shedloads of hops. IMHO a smart move.

Can. Clear gold, a good 2cm of white head. Delicate gooseberry and hay aroma with some floral notes. Just a little sweet with lots of very Kiwi hops and decent bitterness. Nice.

Can. Golden amber, white head. Aroma of orange, hay, biscuit. Pretty much how it tastes. Hints of butter. A fair bit of body, moderate carbonation. Firm bitterness. More Northern Bitter than Golden Ale. Pretty good.

A fruity, chocolatey, roasty aroma leaps out of the glass. Notes of belgian chocolate, coffee, orange and toast. The toast is strong in the mouth, and it's got a smooth palate with just a hint of milk. Very nice.

From tap at Borefts 2022. Nicely fruity with a little funk. Red fruit, plum, lively carbonation. Tart and sour, bit puckering. Medium body. Great.

From tap at Borefts 2022. Vintage 2021. Vinous with an aroma of oak, white wine, grape, funk vinegar, touch of lemon. Acidic sourness, light bitter.

From tap at Borefts 2022. Lots of bourbon in the aroma with caramel, toffee, chocolate, alcohol, some vanilla. Quite rich, boozy, bittersweet flavour with a long aftertaste. Full and lovely.

From tap at Borefts 2022. Oaky and grainy aroma, puckering sour with some vanilla from the bourbon. Medium sour flavour, medium body. Certainly nice.
