Can from the brewery. Very fruit forward, lots of sweet natural cherry flavour eclipsing the mild malt, with a barely-there sourness. Not bad, but really not much of a sour. It would have been better served with more of a sour bite.

Can from the brewery. Pours a blonde with a sheet of white head. Taste is smokey with biting oak, that mellows to vinous grape notes, and an ashy, edgy bitterness in the finish. Complex. There is alot going on here, but tasty and interesting. Worth the try.

Can pick up from the brewery. Pours a very cloudy yellow orange, with finger thick head. Flavour is very hoppy, as you would expect, with orange zest and citrus jumping up, and dominating, middlingly sweet cereal malts, with a slight bitterness, and a little booze, which is unexpected. Tasty and really well done. A new favourite from Slake.

Can from the brewery. An overall strong undercurrent of tangerine citrus, with mildly sweet dry-grass malts, a little salt, with a forward layer of bitterness pervading over it all. The bitterness is quite detractive. Having bought one of each beer in their brewery cooler during my visit, and working my way through, this bitterness is starting to feel ubiquitous. Hmmm...we'll see.
