Keg at the brewery. Apparently this is with the Oktoberfest malt bill but aged for a much shorter time. Orange/sienna and clear. Gentle malt with a bit of ripe citrus and allspice. Tastes sweet with a sharp bitter kick, just the right side of too astringent before fading. A bit too malt-driven for me but hey that’s the style.

Keg at the brewery. Light yellow, cloudy. Gentle smoked malt in the aroma with lemon and oak chips. Sour/sweet bitterness with a salty/savoury note: a little bit of everything. More smoke, like Spanish bean soup, in the aftertaste. A hard one to pin down but enjoyable.

Keg at the brewery. Light amber, clear and thin looking. Quite a bit of head initially. Malty, citrus and floral - almost perfumed - odour. Sweet taste with bitter astringency leading up to the long finish. Notes of vanilla and tangerine in the aftertaste. Pretty good although balance doesn’t quite work for me.

Keg at the brewery. Iced tea brown and clear. Little bit of white head. Little bit of malt, clove and orange peel. Tiny bit of cocoa. Taste is sweet and malty with a slight spicy twinge. Short to medium finish with more light malt. Inoffensive and easy but still has character and is better than the sum of its parts.

Keg at the brewery at 6.5%. Mahogany brown, clear. A bit of visible carbonation. Prune, oak chips, molasses in the aroma. Sweet and syrupy with strong fruit notes. A bit of bitterness but it stays sweet in the long finish. Sarsaparilla in the aftertaste. Not always my favourite style but this is sexy.

Keg at the brewery. Reddish brown. Clear and a bit thin looking. Light caramel malt with raisin and prune. Light malty sweet taste with notes of raisin throughout. Hop bitterness pervades, providing a nice balance. Clean finish with some cinnamon apple in the aftertaste. I like it.

Keg at the brewery. Light yellow and clear with little head. Lemony herbal aroma with apple drops. Sweet fruity taste, ambrosial for a lager. Long bittersweet finish with lemon and honey aftertaste. A lovely beer.

They bottled this once about 3 years ago. I found a bottle at my mother’s house and we opened and drank it. Good but when I had it at the brewery... (this rate)... so much better. Cloudy white/cream. Very little head. Lime, seawater, light biscuit. The taste hits you sideways. Tart lemon and fresh salt in abundance. Long salty finish. A work of art. Blown away.

Draft: Poured a black with tan colored head. Aroma is strong rugged hops. Taste hops stinging astringent and dark malt backbone.
