Amber with a chill haze, thick head. Nice piney, lightly orangey hop nose. Balanced malt, light crystal note, blends well with grapefruity hops. Slightly sticky finish.

473 ml can. Pours a dark brown with moderate tan head. Aromas of woody chocolate, plastic, and bready roasted malts. Flavors of ash, dry dark chocolate, a little nuts and more bready roasted malts. It's a porter

Medium brown. Thick head. Aroma is crackery, thin. On the palate, it's toasty, dryish sort of porter. Some malt complexity. That said, there's no molasses in here, and I wish some of that intense flavour was present. The beer isn't bad; it's just not my pocket of porter.

Pale and pinkish. Light hibiscus nose...okay it's prickly pear. Like an American wheat sort of base. Tart, low bitterness, same sort of floral tuna note.

Thick head. Pale amber colour. Slight haze. Sort of a biscuity nose, with light plastic. Not good beer, mostly because of that plastic.

Can pour at Farmhouse Fest 2023, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out funky floral saison yeast and gentle hops. Flavour is full of gentle floral hops, a touch of rustic notes, and grainy notes. Floral and rustic finish. Decent.

Can pour at Farmhouse Fest 2023, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma is full of cactus/prickly pear, with light funk and lacto. Flavour is just junky kettle sour nonsense, with lacto, prickly pear and light pear. Garbage kettle sour.

Dull colour. Medium head. Sort of an earthy hop note, bit yeasty. On the palate there'�s a bit of citrus and moderate bitterness. Malts aren'�t great and that'�s as much the yeastiness as anything else.

47 ml can. Pours an opaque amber with moderate head. Aromas of earthy melons and wet wheat with a bit of salt. Flavors follow same but brighter and fruity. Nice enough.
