Perfect pour and foamy head that lasts, good clear red body. Vague cracker aroma but really needs more of anything on the nose. Flavour is a lot of crisp cracker and medium on the mouth. Serviceable but again little to write home about here.

Pours with a lighter amber than expected and pretty nice head but it is gone quickly. Soft sweet malt aroma and no hoppiness. Flavour is muddy wheat hops, murky grains, bread and cabbage all over the place. Slight citrus finish. Not very impressive.

Soft aroma neither here nor there, maybe a bit of grain. Okay golden body but a bit of head on top anyway. Flavour is very soft grain and a hint of wheat. Oily but not in a great way. Not too interesting.

47,3 cl can @ Timo A’s Maritimes Tasting, canned 21.06.2017. Thanks!
Aroma has pineapple juice, fruity hops and caramel. Feels sweet. Flavour has some resiny tones, grapefruity hops, minerals and menthol notes. Decent.

Aroma has sweet and heavy fruity tones. Also nettles. Flavour has nettles, grapefruity hops, menthol and biscuits. Alcohol in the finish. Aroma was promising bug flavour is somewhat harsh.

Can from NB Liquor. Cloudy orange-amber with a one finger slow fading white head. Nose is pine, tropical fruit, grass, and caramel. Light+ sweet caramel with a bitter pine and citrus middle with tangerine appearing in the finish. Body is medium+ with average carbonation and a sticky bitter finish. Just OK. 7/3+/7=/3/13

Sort of a jarringly sweet, very smooth, raspberry wheat ale. Sort of like jam mixed with beer. Okay beer.

Pours a dark copper from a bottle, standard malty aroma and flavor, not stand out but okay. Maybe I’m just not into the style.

Pours a light straw from a growler. Yeasty aroma, a nice rhubarb tartness though pretty light on the rhubarb. Good beer.
