8 oz pour in draft at Gunwhale. Dark brown, near black pour. Clean white foam head. Soft bready malt nose, hints of sweet grains and a generous hop addition. Easy drinking dark lager, quite flavorful. Toasty finish after a refreshing start. Nice lager here.

16 oz can poured, enjoyed at Gunwhale. Bright golden orange, juicy appearance, thin foam head and lacing. Smooth and juicy IPA with a somewhat sweet side. A lot of melon like hop character takes the slight weight balance over the grains. Inviting hop nose. Solid hop profile showcase for Simcoe. Soft bitterness lingers late. Really juicy and refreshing overall.

Slightly hazy orange-gold color with a medium bone-white head that dissipates steadily to a film. Stringy lace. Herbal hop, citrus and malt aromas. Medium body with flavors of herbal hop, grapefruit and biscuit malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a citrusy hop aftertaste. Above average overall.

Can from Bine & Vine. Pours translucent gold with a frothy white head. Aroma is tropical/citrus/lightly roasty malt. There's a sharpness in the nose. Med body. Flavor is mildly roasty malt with mixed citrus - some grapefruit; light tropical aspects. Juicily less than dry. Moderately hoppy. Moderately bitter with a pleasing bite.

Sunday 3rd March 2019. Last taster of ten at the brewery tap. Almost black, tanned topping. Malty and semi-sweet, loads of coffee esters in the nose and coffee also leads the way in the taste too.

Ninth taster of the ten taken on Sunday 3rd March 2019 at the brewery tap. Hazy, milky pour, white crown. Grapefruit and other citrus fruits in the aroma, taste also fruity with a sweetness from the hop/malt blend. Nice.

Eight taster in the brewery tap on Sunday 3rd March 2019. Cloudy light yellow/milky body, wispy white top. Coconut and rubber in both the nose and taste. Strange but interesting, tropical fruits arrive late to give some sweetness to the initial dry and weird flavours.
