This Vienna poured a deep red colour with a creamy, off white head. Nice lacing. Scents include caramel, minimal ripe fruit, cardboard and a little must. First swig was a little thin, but still quite good. Flavours of malt, tea and a little cardboard. Finish is lightly malty with tea flavours lingering.

This WCIPA poured a hazy orange colour with a big, white head. Nice lacing. Scents include grass, tea, citrus… just to name a few. First swig was hoppy as hell. I’ve no idea how people can drink these over-hopped beers. It reminds me of lemon… pledge? Wood cleaner? Flavours of citrus tea and pure hop. Finish is bitter as hell with a little citrus and grass flavours lingering.
