473mL can. Pours murky deep blonde with small white head. Aroma has a weird yeast expression (I think) and faint tropical fruit. Flavour has light orange and stonefruit, kind of moldy/stale. Bitter finish. Not a fan, but mainly because the profile is weird.

473mL can. Pours cloudy blonde with minimal white head. Aroma is floral with some slightly rustic yeast. Flavour has a ton of floral notes up front, a bit herbal; yeast expression seems a bit muted. This is okay, though the profile seems a bit flat.

[Label read Barrel-fermented]. Growler pour. Pours clear gold with small white head. Aroma is very faint dry saison character. Flavour has a fucked up yeast quality, moldy fruit. Normally these guys do great saisons, but something wrong happened here. As the beer warmed up a bit (or as I got used to the yeast wreckage), there is a nice saison yeast character underneath.

473mL can. Pours clear gold with very small white head. Aroma has very gentle banana and clove esters, barley. Flavour has very gentle Hefeweizen character: spicy yeast, cloves, coriander; some grainy barley character. Quite a pleasant and well-moderated use of estery yeast. Quite pleasant.

473mL can. Pours cloudy gold with white head. Aroma has old pine, ghosts of tropical fruit, some wood. Flavour has pine, citrus, dry wood; fairly solid malt base. Nice yeast character I think? Still has decent carbonation. This is an neat experiment. The dry wood character is an interesting addition to an IPA profile, though I'd say it doesn't offset the loss in hop expression due to aging. As an IPA this is not great, but viewing aged IPA as a unique sub-style, it seems like a pretty reasonable take.

473mL can, pours a minimally hazy golden blonde with a huge white head for some reason. Nose exudes shitloads of divine Nelson -- with huge gooseberry, white wine tang, and a little tropical fruit -- damn. Flavour is crisp, with lots of white wine tanginess, citrus hops, some gooseberry, bright grass, and crisp biscuity malt to back. The hop expression is more intense and well-dialed in than many (if not most) IPAs. Great Nelson expression.
