7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
On tap at The Magnet, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma has toasted malt, a touch of cola, and bread crusts. Flavour has big toasted malt, gentle sugars, a touch of cocoa and vanillin maybe. Nice big malts, brewed authentically, and clean. Very good.

Island Red Ale from Driftwood Brewery

6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
On nitro tap at The Magnet, pours a clear dark reddish amber with a small beige head. Aroma is soft, with crusty, toasted bready malt… little else. Flavour is dry, with toasted malt, even a touch of roast, with a bitter, slightly metallic finish. A bit rough but it’s alright.

Sartori Harvest (2025) from Driftwood Brewery

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.

Sartori Harvest (2025) from Driftwood Brewery

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.
