Lightly hazed, bright golden colour with a a frothy white cap, good retention and thick, foamy lacing. Orange juicy aromas with other citrus zest and a touch of pineapples. Gets a little hazier as it pours. Mild citrusy flavours with the oranges, lemons, tangerines zests, and juices. A tad oats are left lingering. A wet mouthfeel with a light drying finish. A nice, refreshing NEIPA without too much punch, but decent zestiness that comes to charm the end.

Lightly hazed, bright yellowish colour with a big frothy white head, good stay and thick, foamy-soapy lacing around. Fresh herbal aromas with mild grassy hops on the spicy Pils malts. The taste shows this, but a touch milder. Thankfully, the finish pushes back up a little to linger the nice herbaceous notes and light malt spiciness. Quite a nice, lighter-alcohol, Italian Pilsner that is refreshing with the blend of herbs-spicy maltiness.

Can under Brasserie Générale at 10% ABV - pouring a dark brown colour with some hazy, copper-brown highlights, a warm mocha-coloured frothy head, good retention and some soapy lacing spots. Roasted barley nose with some floral-grassy notes, raisins, molasses and chocolate hints. The taste is a blend of the roasted malts, light dark fruits and a tad coffee. A round mouthfeel that is slick, lightly creamy, but with a drying finish. Some decent bitterness-grassiness lingers. A fairly easy-drinking Imperial Stout that finishes dry.

Ridiculously big, fizzy white head on a straw body. Nose is sweet with some light citrus hops. The taste is solid, but it is no hop bomb. Notes of lemon, grapefruit and pineapple, some pepper, soapiness and some tropical notes.

Nose is a pleasant combination of malt and spice. The taste is a balanced presentation of caramel, malt and a hint of vanilla and dark berries. Not cloying with a nice smooth, reasonably rich body. It’s hard to find a good Scotch Ale -- this is a very reasonable effort by a brewery I have not sampled or seen before.

Slightly hazy copper pour, with a medium white head. A huge malty nose, big bready, sweet cereal aroma, with some subtle spiciness. Quite a bit of alcohol phenols in the finish, with some light grassy hops. But this is all over shadowed by the boozy, malty cereals thta are throughout.

Clear golden pour, medium white head. Hops are incredibly faint, grassy, and stale. Notes of hay, and wet paper. The finish is sweet, and phenolic. Sweet grains, musty cereals, watery finish, next to no hops.

Hazy orange pour, medium white head. Super faint Citrus aroma, fresh cut grass, and some mint. Typical mouth feel and carb. The finish is very acidic, orange peel and grassy, with some hay. Low bitterness, with earthy over tones.

Dark hazy copper, huge beige head, with loads of floaters. Aroma is a combo is overly sweet dipa, and a overly sweet Belgian strong. As is warms some light pine comes through but it all beaten back by the massive over sweet malts. This is a muddy malty sweet mess.
