Chimeran Awakening V from Jackknife Brewing
6 years ago
6.1/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Wine-barrel fermented raw ale. Hazy, dullish amber. Thin head. On the nose, it’s pretty fun, but also cluttered. It’s got a touch of the wine barrel on the nose, yeasty on the palate. So there’s moments but only moments.

Hair Straight Back Spruce Tip Pale from Jackknife Brewing

5.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 2 Overall 5.5
Very faint lemon and spruce aroma, has clear gold body with modest foam. Flavour is soft weak spruce tip, some vague hops in there. Mouhtfeel has no crispness, too weak and watery. Nothing stands out here; great idea, bad execution.

Ghroth Cometh from Jackknife Brewing

5.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
On the nose is faint soft malt of no distinction, has good foam on a muddy brown body. Flavour is soft muddy malt with vague hops. Mouthfeel has good fullness and the abv is well hidden. Nonetheless it's still middling, nothing stands out, it lacks all qualities I'd like to see in a good red IPA.

Chimeran Awakening V from Jackknife Brewing

6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Good floral candy hops on the nose, has soft foam on a middling orange body. Flavour is earthy pine, sweet hops, honey, floral notes. Mouthfeel is full and dry. It's unique in some ways but not coming fully together.

Arcane Farmhouse Ale from Jackknife Brewing

5.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 6
Smells of okay soft slightly musky molasses, has okay muddy brown body with soft foam. Flavour is soft biscuity malt, some tin and coriander. There's a tinny aftertaste. It's smooth and drinkable but not very memorable.

Chimeran Awakening IV from Jackknife Brewing

On tap at Jackknife, pours a hazy dull golden with a small white head. Aroma is subdued, with almost nothing there. Flavour is more expressive, with a subtle wine character and a gentle citrus character. Very subtle but quite pleasant. Wish it had more oomph, but it's solid.

Wizard Sticks Nordic IPA from Jackknife Brewing

5.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5
On tap at Jackknife, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma is fairly subdued, with citrus hops and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour has citrus zest, crisp biscuity malt, and a trace of diacetyl. A bit harsh and flawed but it's not terrible. Meh.

Tribute from Jackknife Brewing

6.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
On tap at Jackknife, pours a hazy copper orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out spicy rye, with subdued earthy hops. Flavour is full-bodied, with spicy rye, earthy hips, and toasted biscuity malt. The rye is really used nicely. Full and complex. Good stuff.

On tap at Jackknife, pours a hazy golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle spruce tip and earthy hops. Flavour is along the same lines, with earthy hips and biscuity malt. Subdued spruce character. It's alright.

This was chewy, full of rye. Balancing hop bitterness but not much hop aroma. There’s a bit of butter, but it does balance a bit with the rye. So it’s okay – I don’t get a lot of the “Nordic” character to it, but that’s okay.
