Description
A farm brewery in Caledon, Ontario. Troy Baxter, Mike Nuttall and Grace Wilkinson make hoppy, hazy ales in small batches that sell out as fast as they can make them. We specialize in IPA, but we also have a deep affinity for farmhouse ales, crispy lagers and mixed fermentation sours.

We used to brew on a small, inefficient 100ish liter brew house in an old retrofitted calf barn. It was a lot of work, but it's all we could afford to get this thing started without investors. Now we mostly brew on a bigger, sort of more efficient brewery.

Since day one we have believed in the same fundamentals: quality and freshness above all else. Our mission is to get our beer to your mouth when it's at it's best!

500mL bottle, pours a milky yellow with a tiny white head. Aroma is full of diacetyl, with chalk, butter, and yeast soup -- gross. Flavour is just vile, with diacetyl galore, chalk, yeast soup, and a bit of earthy hops. The diacetyl totally ruins this. Incompetent garbage.

Tasting at Salesforce, bottle
Murky pale blond colour. Moderate aroma of zesty citrus, a touch creamy. Very chalky, with good zesty hopping.Not bad, but too dirty.

Opaque. No head. There's some nice tropical notes, but also some diacetyl. On the palate, not much hop bitterness, a bit of yeast. Some tropical hop notes, too.
