Bottle - Bubblegum, cherry, raisin and dark sugar. Clear amber with a thin brown head. Dark sugars, cherry, marzipan and raisin. Nice and typical, but for a local I have to give props.

650 ml bottle. Pours a clear gold with light head. Aroma of cereal and corn - not very impressive. Flavors of cereal, toasted rice, and resin. Light bitter finish. Interesting taste - goes great with potato chips.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a cloudy opaque dirty amber orange with a small beige head. Aroma brings out spicy autumn notes, almost like a pumpkin beer. Flavour brings out biscuity malts, floral hops, and some spicy notes. Fairly dry and bland - not the most interesting beer. Alright.

On nitro tap at the Alibi Room, pours a hazy dark copper amber with a small off-white head. Aroma is subtle, with weak English hop and English malts, and a little bready malts. Flavour brings out bready, English malts, and slight hops. Very soft on the palate from the nitro pour. Just not the most exciting beer, as is no surprise from the ESB style. Decent.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a clear golden orange with a small beige head. Aroma of faint pumpkin spices, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Flavour brings out pumpkin pur�e, a little nutmeg, and a touch of cinnamon. Sort of like a watered down Pumking. Good stuff, but nothing special.

Poured from the tap. Cloudy, orangey yellow with dissipating white head. Very skunky hop aroma. Very odd wild rice flavour with some skunk and a hoppy dry bitter finish. A very different, interesting beer that I can only handle in a small amount. May share with a friend again.

Poured from the tap. Cloudy pinkish orange with minimal pinkish white head. Quite mild cherry aroma. Light, watery cherry taste with very heavy metallic overlay. Finish is nothing but a lingering metallic taste.

Bottle - Skunky hops with a bit of grapefruit. Hazy gold with a nice head. Tastes exactly as it smells with the spicy, earthy hop notes. Unfortunately that is it, a one trick pony with very little body as well. A decent drink but nothing to write home about.

650mL bottle, pours an opaque cloudy orange with a medium white head. Aroma is super dank, with loads of pot, earthy hops, and biscuity malt. Flavour is quite odd, with loads of super dank, earthy hops, pot, and herbal notes. The rice probably contributes to some of the weirdness. It's the dank, herbally, almost skunky notes of the hops that shine here. Very enjoyable stuff - too bad it's a one-off.
