Bright golden. Faint aroma but maybe with some citrus. Citrusy with hints of berry. Some nice fruity notes but otherwise pretty understated for the style.

Golden-bronze. Nice chewy aroma with light sugars and brown bread. Soft and slightly sticky. Decent.

Chestnut colour and clear. Toasty, chocolatey aroma is quite nutty. Nutty, sweet with good malt complexity. Funny - it’s kind of a lousy oatmeal stout with its light colour and lack of oaty, stouty goodness but it’s a pretty good brown ale. I’ll score it for its qualities as a beer rather than to style.

Seasonal brew for June 2010 - a new release and not the Wheat Ale. Has some banana and pedio. Full wheaty character is sweet with lots of banana and only hints of pedio. Pretty good wheat.

Hazy amber. Limited aroma has some citrus. Citrusy, moderate bitterness and a good dose of chewy malts provides balance. OK - could be a bit brighter with those hops.

Light amber with slight haze. Caramelly, slightly biscuity aroma is relatively mild. Sweetish, slightly chewy malts and some top esters for nuance. Hits some of the characteristics of steam beer, which is pretty cool since most "steam" beers don’t. Nice work.

Golden-brown. Some toast, maybe light chocolate. Crisp palate - dry finish with some breadcrusty malt. Ok, but a little bit bland.

Golden colour. Aroma is a little grainy. Moderate bitterness and slight citrus. Crisp palate but is lacks nuance and is a little bit grassy as the glass goes down.

New seasonal from Brewerkz. Hazy golden-tan. Loose head. Nice mellow citrus aroma - maybe not enough of it, though. Citrusy, bitter and clean with a light fruitiness.
