16 oz. can, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out bright piney hops, resinous hop oils, and some toasted bready malt. Flavour has punchy piney hops, some resinous notes, and bready malt. Great oily resins and pine on the finish. Excellent old school westie.

16 oz. can, pours a clear golden with a medium white head. Aroma has some pine, gentle tangy white wine-like hops, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is super bright, with huge tangy hops, bright pine, gooseberry, and crisp biscuity malt. That NZ Cascade is quite something—super piney, tangy, white wine-like—damn. Excellent.

Bright amber with a medium head. Aroma’s a little toasty, a little biscuity. Balanced sweetness, biscuit, light caramel. This is good festbier.

473mL can, pours a clear golden orange with a small white head. Nose is full of orange rinds, piney hops, some resins, and biscuity malt to back. Flavour is bitter, with plenty of piney hops, resins, orange peel, and biscuity malt to back. Vibrant and super clean. Excellent.

Deep amber colour, with a thin head. Malts are biscuity, somewhat toffeeish, alongside herbaceous hops, and a bit toasty. Well-balanced. Pretty hoppy for something not billed as Red IPA. Nice work.

473mL can, pours a clear amber with a small beige head. Aroma has plenty of fresh resinous hops, light pine, and dry bready malt. Flavour is pretty assertive on the resinous hops, bitter woody pine, and a dry, soft bready malt base. Drinks more like a red IPA with that aggressive C-hop character. Excellent.

473mL can. Pours clear amber with a white head. Warm bready malts and sharp, resinous pine on the nose. Flavour has a great bready malt base with loads of piney and resinous hops. Tastes more like a red IPA than an amber ale. Fantastic.

16 oz. can, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma has some bitter piney hops, citrus rind, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is crisp and biting, with bright, bitter piney hops, some grapefruit peel, and crisp biscuity malt. Bitter, piney, and citrusy finish. Excellent.
