16oz can less than a week out from canning. Classical IIPA tone, big and resinous. Some serious hop tone, but Strata tends to dominate it. At 8.1% it isn't too Imperial, and actually drinks just a little bigger than a regular strong California IPA. Bold, rich, flavorful. Nice beer.

A pretty classic ESB, perhaps not as full bodied or strong as initial US iterations. Medium malts, mild hops, all around sessionable English Ale. OK.

Sampled from the tap at GTMW 2023. Pours black with a dark brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has bitter dark grains, roasted malts and coffee with a hint of bourbon coming through. Flavor has harsh bourbon and dark grains with some coffee and roasted malts supporting.

16oz can. Pretty awesome example of the style. Pretzely caramel or Munich malts. Really clean, well attenuated. Refreshing, easy going, approachable. Perfectly true to style. Right on.

16oz can. Rather awesome stuff, nailing a style most don't even consider these days. Rich UK malts, pleasant floral hop tone. Perfect balance, execution. Supremely drinkable, with lots of depth and flavor. Really good for the style.

16oz can. A great Oktoberfest all the way. Smooth clean malt tones, excellent noble hop balance. Refreshing and excellently made. Great. More in the modern golden style than the deep amber versions of years back.

16oz can. Clean, classic, perhaps a little grainy. Pleasant malt tone, but not really on the level of RT's other stuff. Somewhat earthy, zwickelish. Quite drinkable and enjoyable, pleasant depth.

16oz can. Transparent tan body. Frothy white head. Awesome hop tone, thankfully devoid of Citra. Columbus grounds it with some nice bitterness, the other hops pull in all sorts of fruity, tropical ways. Clean, bright, with a solid ABV to fill it out (7.1% on the can). Fantastic IPA.

16oz can. Nice APA. I'm not a big fan of MI grown hops, but they work well enough here. Nice bitterness, more so than most APA in 2023. Classical flavors, great balance. Really well-executed beer.

16oz can. 2023 iteration Kind of an odd one. Certainly a hoppy wheat, but a sort of wack mix up that don't complement each other that well. Pulls you in four different directions. Well attenuated, drinkable, but just OK as opposed to their regular stellar. 2024 version is pretty nice, with a booming Motueka tone and nice complementary tone from the other hops. As with most of their beers, really delicious those first few weeks after canning. Score reflects the 2024 version.
