Poured from 946mL crowler (date filled Oct 13, 2025). Lightly hazy gold with small white head. Lightly juicy tropical hops with mild yeastiness. Fairly clean, could use a touch more hops (it's mostly Moteuka, but could use more Nelson Sauvin), decent.

650mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma has some toasted malt and maybe a hint of maple syrup. Flavour is very thin and light, with no trace of maple syrup whatsoever, with thin toasted malt, and a dry finish. Super thin and lifeless. Pathetic.

Dark brown. There's a touch of maple on it, but it's thin. The lack of residual sugars really cripples this...the maple has nothing to latch on to. I don't know. This sort of thing needs to have way more richness and more maple.

650mL bottle. Pours nearly black with a white head. Nuts and wafers on the nose. Flavour has wafers, some nuts, and a gentle bready base. This is very thin, even for a porter. A floating corpse of a porter.

Hazy and tan. Thin head. The aroma is fairly toasty, a bit of honey. Light body, a bit sticky, and there's not a whole lot of complexity to it. I mean it's okay but it's going nowhere, really.

650mL bottle, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has some of that weird kveik yeast expression, some spicy juniper, and some bugginess. Flavour is fairly laid-back, with juniper, branches, and light bugginess. Clean enough, just not very interesting.
