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.

Can from the brewery. Nice soft, mildly sweet, doughy malts. Some mild almost berry fruit esters. Pleasant.

Pours a nice amber. Taste is toasted biscuit with some medium syrup sweetness under, some almost.off flavour bitterness, with almost a touch of funk, which lingers. The overall balance is good, just the bitterness is a little too funky. Can from the brewery.
