Can ordered from the brewery. Hazy-opaque dark orange. Foamy white head is relatively short-lived. Aroma has a vinous tart streak and juicy citrus. It's sour. Tart. Citrus and vinous. Medium bodied. Interesting some dense and slick mouthfeel. Soft-average carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Sour but refreshing with it. Good on a hot day.

Can via the online shop. Gusher! Pours gloopy. Sits a hazed glowing gold. Solid white foam. Looks well after mopping what escaped. Nose has fruity juicy peachy hop. Light vanilla oak. Whiff of something like bourbon. Taste is dry, lightly tart and citrusy bitter. Feels gloopy on the palate. Juicy finish. There’s a stellar beer in here but it’s not there yet.

Can via the online shop. Slightly gloppy pour sits hazed glowing gold with a slim dense lasting white foam. Looks good once it’s settled in. Chardonnay barrels lifting heavy here. Loads of white grape and light oak. Juicy citrus. Has a nice zing. Taste is dry, tart juicy fruity and light bitter. Super easy drinking overall. Juicy slightly tart fruity finish. Good gear.

Amazing beer. It has the coffee. Yes nutty almond. But not overly sweet. Drinks well below the 14+%abv. It’s smooth fully bodied and dreamy.

Can via the online shop. Pours a fairly lifeless medium gold. Slim ring of white. Nose has booze soaked wood. Wheat. Some barley sugar. Taste is pretty sweet with a soft tannic character. Some tartness. Overall it’s fairly drinkable, especially at the 8%, but as it stands it’s a bit flat and dull. Light tart finish. I’ve another 2 cans of this and I suspect it will get better (livelier) with a bit of time on them.
