Hazy orangey-amber. Big rocky head is gorgeous. Woody nose...light grapefruity accents with crystal malt and some toastiness. Rich chewy crystal malt palate with a deep woody bitterness that lingers a bit. Dry and rich...big brew and well-made. Perhaps not as bright as I’d prefer in an IPA.

Bottle. Dark brown in color with a medium light brown head. Coffee and dark chocolate aroma. Some coffee in the flavour, very acidic (Makes me wonder if it’s supposed to be this way, or if this is just a bad bottle).

Bottle. Dark clear reddish-brown with a medium off-white head. Sweet candyish roast malt aroma, hints of nuts and chocolate, roasty, slightly sour. Taste is sour, roasty and nutshell-bitter. Mouthfeel is bitter and flat, decent body, but a very solid and tasty nutbrown.

Bottle. Amber color with a thin white head. Very earthy aroma, with nice sweet caramel and toasted malt. A touch of smoke. Falls apart upon tasting though, very thin body, some sweet and lightly nutty malts. Some light earthy hops.

Bottle. Cloudy orange color with a small white head. The aroma sweet candyish, fruit, raspberry. More fruit is apparent in the flavour with some cookie malts and finishing clean and quickly.

Bottle. Yellow gold color aroma is ALL HOT PEPPERS (Jalapenos). The first sip... is actually not too bad. Malty pale lager kind of base with a moderate amount of peppery heat (you can actually feel this tickling in your nose). I couldn’t drink a full bottle of this, but it was fun to try.

This ale poured a nice dark red colour with a foamy white head. To the nose is is sweet and slightly hoppy with a little dough thrown in. First sip had a strong taste of gravy...different. Hoppy to taste with a little bitterness. Slightly watery finish. The palate was slightly bitter with lingering hop.

This Ale poured a light yellow colour with lots of ??? Floaties? Small white specks??? To the nose came lemons and oranges. Lots of citrus. First sip was thin and lemony. Thin and a bit watery, left not much on the palate. Not bad but lacking flavour.

Clear bronze colour. Clean & clear blueberry aroma is very fresh. Childhood memories here, of picking and eating blueberries from behind my grandparent’s house outside Truro. Fresh, with good malt balance and abundant clean fruit. Not syrupy at all. I’m been pleasantly surprised by the blueberry beers I’ve tasted...the idea just works.
