7/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7
This one is very pale. The aroma has some of that vinous character, but is a bit odd. On the palate, it's got a bit of tartness, but also vinous notes. Moderate acidity. Not bad.

355mL can. Pours murky red with an off-white head. Nice earthy, currant-forward nose. Flavour is mouth-puckeringly sour, loads of currants, but fucking hell that's a lot of acidity. I like the fruit character, but this is completely out of whack. Did they test this beer at all before canning?

355mL can. Pours a very pale hazy blonde with almost no head. Very musty, vinous nose. Flavour is quite tart with a more subued vinous character than the nose, very little malt character. Tastes more like a sour wine spritzer than a beer. Pleasant, but unimpressive.

473 ml can. Plus gold with full foamy head. Aromas of citrus, a little pine, wine gums and soft toasty malts. Flavors follow same with more pine; and malts are more bready. Also a bit of soap; otherwise quite nice. Also maybe old as there is some surprising sediment.

On tap at Whistle Buoy. Pours black with a beige head. Smells like artificial sweetnener and cheap instant coffee. Tastes like artificial coffee candies: light, chocolate-like coffee, sugars, and milk. I could eat a Coffee Crisp and get the same taste, fewer calories, and less disappointment.

6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 6.5 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
On tap at Whistle Buoy. Pours clear blonde with a white head. Plenty of pine and dank notes on the nose. Flavour has a soft oaky pine character, some harsh dankness. Not bad, but the dank notes start to dominate in a bad way.

6.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
On tap at Whistle Buoy. Pours clear blonde with a white head. Saline and light citrus on the nose. Flavour does actually have a very oyster-like saline quality with some faint citrus notes. Wheaty malts are present, but very much in the background. Not bad, but misses the mark a bit.

On tap at Whistle Buoy. Pours clear pale gold with a white head. Pine and dank oils on the nose. Flavour is piney and somewhat dank with biscuit malts. Hops are okay, but taste pretty tired and haphazard.

473mL can, pours a clear pale golden with a medium white head. Aroma is full of big dank hops, plenty of grassiness, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is full of intense pine needles, big dankness, spruce tips, grass, and biscuity malt. Rather abrasive with that dank, spruce tip-like character. It’s alright, but far from an easy-drinking westie.
