On tap at Category 12. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Nose is nice and toasty with a bit of burnt bread crusts. Flavour is a bit one-dimensional with some thin toasted malts and a dry grassy hopping. It's not bad, cleanly made, but not embracing the extent of the style.

On tap at Category 12. Pours clearish light gold with a white head. Tons of Brett with a kick of orange peels on the nose. Flavour has a pretty solid Brett expression with hops coming through dry and grassy with some orange peels. Very well-executed.

On tap at Category 12. Pours a clear golden amber with a white head. Light Belgian yeast and caramel malts on the nose. Flavour has a fairly timid Belgian yeast expression, gentle caramelization, some bready malts. Not the most vibrant use of Belgian yeast, but it's clean and pleasant to drink.

On tap at Category 12. Pours clear blonde with a white head. Soft and slightly fruity Belgian yeast on the nose. Flavour has a very pleasant Belgian yeast expression: soft, slightly floral, light spicing, and a touch of bubblegum. Very nicely done

On tap at Category 12 (as Shift). Pours clear blonde with a white head. Biscuit malts and a tangy, vinous hop expression on the nose. Flavour has a lovely NZ hop expression, full of fruity gooseberries and a white wine character. Malts are crisp and clean. Excellent.

Plus a bight mahogany with little head. Aromas of old socks, earthy Belgian yeast, died fruit and toasted malts. Flavors of dried apricots, dark fruity esters, a bit of caramel and toasted malts.

473mL can’t pours black with a small beige head. Aroma has a nice toasty character, almost roasty, with crusty dry bready and some earthiness. Flavour is fairly tame, with clean toasted malt, a hint of nuttiness, and earthy dry bready crusts. Clean and reasonably made. Decent but boring, even for the style.

473mL can, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma has a nice bold roasted malt character, along with robust earthy hops, and some pine. Flavour is fairly bitter and dry, with tons of dry toasted malt, touch of roast, and big bitter piney hops. Nice bitter and toasty finish. Great stuff.
