Medium brown. Decently thick head. Thin and toasty like they don't understand the concept. I care not for dry, thin stout.

Murky amber, thick head. Yeasty amber with a slight smoke note? In a malt-forward amber I need the malt to be well-developed and the presentation to be cleaner.

Opaque, pale, with a thick head. Smells like some sauvin and citrus. On the palate, much the same. I like the kiwi/sauvin character, though the malts are a bit soupy and not great. There's a bit of grapefruit, too, but again, structurally not supported all that well.

Sweetish, creamy orange juice with some exotic tropical notes, grapefruit peel, hints of citrus, grass and pineapple. Interesting hop profile

Honestly this feels like another beer than my peers, or the brewery's description. I'm getting some funk on this, a little pepper, a little bitterness, over bright hay malt, mildly sweet, vague stone fruit, pretty clean finsih. It's great. Is this what everyone else is getting? Did a get a mislabed can? Did a bug get in there? If so do it again. Can from the brewery.

This amber poured just that, a hazy amber colour with a creamy, off white head. Nice lacing. Sweet to the nose, other scents include malt, a little ripe fruit and must. First swig was rather sweet. Flavours of sweeter malt, caramel, must, nuts, toast, minimal brown sugar and a little ripe fruit. Finish is toasted malt with a little hop bitterness thrown in.

Pours a golden with a slight pink tinge, fluffy white head which reduces very quickly. Very light carbonation. Taste is primarily smooth vinous grapes, minerals, with mild off flavour funk that lingers. Very mellow Bottle from the brewery.
