Can from the brewery. While this beer carries some yeast esters of banana and spice, it lacks any high points of flavour, leaving it struggling and failing to be better then plain.

Can from the brewery. Rich brown with light tan head. Toasted mildly sweet malty nose, with molasses. Taste of deeply toasted malt, vanilla and the sweet rye spiciness that coats the tongue, mildly bitter finish. Honestly never a fan of rye beers, but a good showing for this one.

Cloudy doesn't really cover this peasoup fog blond pour. Dense white head. Mango and mild pine nose. The beer comes off sour on the first sip, both in the light funk and not sweet sense of the word. Definite mango, light pine, some tropical fruit, an a touch of resin on the finish. Feels a touch thin, but not overly so. Honestly a good showing. Can from the brewery.

Like having to listen to Moose FM on the radio while at the cottage, which tries to be everything to everyone, this beer I suspect is trying to please that straight forward crowd. Problem is some folks don't want bland beer. Presents as a can-crusher golden pour, with white head. Tastes neutral hay malt, with a bit of bitterness. It's eminently meh and not worth it for anyone who cares enough about their beer to be on ratebeer. But please do try other beers by this brewery, once you get past the top-40 offerings like this, they do have some decent beers.

Can from the brewery. Caramel brown and clear, nose is heavy on the pine and resin, which just feels appropriate. Taste is mildly sweet malt, strong resin with a little bite, and pine. Feels a touch thin. Not the strongest DIPA but a decent showing.

This IPA poured a clear light yellow colour with a big, bright white, creamy head. Nice lacing. Scents include fresh, wet hops, grass and a little dough. First swig was really nice. Not way over hopped as expected by the bouquet. Flavours of lemon, grass and sweet flowers. Finish is lightly lemony with a lot of grass thrown in. Palate is quite hoppy but not over the top.
