Much better than hopparazzi. A good showing for style at least, if nothing mind-blowing. Pours clear orange copper with great lacing and head. Finishes a little bitter with some tang. Average carbonation, fizzy texture. On tap at St. Augustine’s.

If hoparrazzi means a flurry of in your face hops flash, I’m not sure this is it. Pours blond with ok lacing. Finishes very clear and empty - nothing at all in taste almost. Slight floral aroma and some malt, but very light. Average carbonation. Tap at St. Augustine’s.

Poured from a 341mL bottle. Dark brown colour with nice beige head. Nutty, earthy aroma with some caramel. Hits with a bit of a light nutty roast flavour, but dissipates quite quickly for a weak finish. Very mild hop bitterness. Not very full-flavoured.

Has an aroma of nuttiness but little else. Okay amber body but little head. Flavour is all nuttiness, on the slightly watery side. Lacks complexity, kind of a "meh" beer: just predictable and okay.

Generous helping of malt, mixed nuts with skin, tinges of grapefruit, light dried fruits (plums), distinct mineral finish.

Poured from 341mL bottle. Clear yellow with nice white head. Yeasty malt aroma with very mild hops and some skunky aroma. Very watery lager taste, slightly oily texture. Not bad for a lager...

Poured from 341mL bottle. Cloudy orange-y yellow with nice off-white head. Very hoppy nose with some notes of lemon/citrus. Taste is actually a little yeasty with weak hops, fairly pine-y.
