Bright, gold, big head. Nice bitterness, clean pale malt. That’s good, appetizing pilsner.

Taking this one nice and aged. Medium amber-brown colour, with a slight haze, and a thick head. Piney aroma, definitely drinking this in December. Fairly bitter, sort of orangey, stale piney hops, and a rich crystal malt base. I don't remember where or when I bought this. Probably should have opened it sooner.

Nitro pour at The Magnet. Pours very dark brown with a beige nitro head. Espresso and roasted malts on the nose. Flavour has dry roasted malts, some bread crusts, espresso. Great malts, this is a very good porter.

On tap at The Magnet. Pours clear blonde with a white head. Plenty of brint, vibrant pine and a touch of dry spicy grass on the nose. Flavour has dry spicy grass, sharp, resinous pine, and cracker malts. Great hop expression.

473 ml can. Pours a beautiful bright copper color with moderated head. Aromas of fruity pine resin, a bit of spruce, candied citrus, apricot, and toasted malts. Flavor follow same with emphasis on forest floor and dankish hops. Somewhat fruity sweet to start but finishing bitter. Hard to find a fresh hopped beer better that this. And Driftwood is pretty consistent Tear on year with the Sartori Harvest.

Gold, white head. Nice spicy hop nose and palate with medium bitterness. Lightly floral and citrus notes. Very nice
Full, rich, deep, golden. One of my all-time favs since it's inception. Highest regards & praise to Driftwood that Twenty Pounder has been so rock solid all these years!
