Gold, bright, medium head. There’s not much on the nose but the palate has a bright berryish fruitiness, big pale malt, medium bitterness. The Tamarack hop is a semi-feral grown here in a project with KPU, I’ve been a fan of both beers they’ve made with it. And this one, look, this is as clean and well-structured as anything I’ve had from Barnside.

650 ml bottle. Pours black with almost no head. Aromas of vanilla, salty hazelnuts, chocolate and slick roasted malts. A ton of hazelnuts on the flavor profile adding almost acidic bitterness and overshadowing the vanilla which only peaks out a little before a dry bitterness returns. You’ve got to love hazelnuts with this one…

473mL can, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is full of rank vegetal notes, weird herbal hops, maybe traces of diacetyl. Flavour is much the same, with a weird vegetal (celery-like) note, herbal hops, and thankfully no diacetyl. The vegetal character is very off-putting and destroys this.

473mL can. Pours clear gold with a minimal head. Sweet malts and resin on the nose. Flavour has a sweet malt backbone, some mango, resin, bitter finish. Clean and drinkable, but the hops are too tame.
