Dullish hazy, thin head. Sweet, some banana. The malt is okay, and just sort of there. Not integrated with the esters, it’s basically a decent first try at a hefeweizen.

Opaque. Looks nice. Has a great nz hop aroma, bright and fruity. There's a touch of hop burn up front, but all told the malts are pretty good, and that helps showcase the NZ hop. I thought it was great, but it was 30C and I was 70km into my ride, two factors that probably add a few points.

16oz shared with Alex and wife @ Alouette Campground on Day 4.
Aroma: grassy, earthy, a bit flowery.
Taste: along the same lines, juicy.
Overall: pleasant enough.

Cloudy, with a beige sort of colour and a frothy medium head. Bright citrus hop nose, with pine and gooseberry. On the palate, it has some yeastiness, medium bitterness, and an okay, if unexciting malt base. Similar hop expression on the palate as the aroma.

Opaque, quite pale, thick head. Good body, but lowish bitterness. Light fruity hop, not much. A bit of huskiness. It’s okay, definitely needs a bit more hop.

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.
