Hazy, pale. A bit on the murky side. Thin head. Moderate bitterness, stone fruit, a bit weedy, some soft sweet pale malts. Good balance.

Dark brown, medium head, not as nitro as I thought it would be. Fairly roasty, sweet and quite nutty, light body and the 30IBUs disappears into the ether - comes across like a dark mild. A really good dark mild.

Pale pink, hazy, light, refreshing. The fruits aren'�t super powerful -they are well-integrated but are mild compared with most pogs.

Slight beige, cloudy, bubblegum and electric wire so just some out of control phenols. I appreciate the sabro but the ferm needs to be dialed in. Like it'�s not bad but could be quite a bit better.

Hazy and pale. Thin head. Fairly bitter, does bring a bit of kveik fruitiness but this is a good use of kveik because there'�s body, big stone fruit, nice grapefruit, pretty solid.

On tap at Brookswood, pours a hazy yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma is rather muddled, with earthy hops, some muddled yeast, and bready malt. Flavour is ruined by the kveik, as usual, but it's not terrible; there's some stone fruits, pith, and earthiness. For a beer with a crappy yeast, this isn't bad, but it's still not pleasant.

On tap at Brookswood, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out oily resins, plenty of pine, and a dark bready malt. Flavour has traces of diacetyl, with plenty of pine and light resins. The diacetyl is very minor but needs cleaning up. It's not terrible but needs some work.
