650mL bottle, pours a clear chestnut brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out campfire smoke, toasted nuts, bready malt and some dry caramel. Flavour is nice and malty, with lots of caramel malt, bready notes, and rounded out with the campfire smoke. The sweetness is apparent upfront, but is nicely reined in by the smoke. Bold and well-balanced. Very good.

Poured from 473mL can. Dirty orange with full white head. Muted peach, feint blackberry, not very well integrated overall. Just a skippable novelty.

Poured from the tap. Cloudy amber brown with small off white head. Tons of esters, light banana, and a very odd chocolate note. Tastes off… an abomination… drain pour.

Poured from the tap. Slightly cloudy dull gold with white head. Fairly tropical character, slightly juicy, oddly subdued overall. On the fence about this.

Poured from the tap. Clear gold with small white head. Chewy biscuit malt, light pine hops. Forgettable.

On tap. Pours a clear copper-amber with a medium, foamy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves curtains of lace. Sweet aroma of caramel malt, orange flesh and floral hops. Sweet flavour of grainy caramel malt, orange flesh, grapefruit rind and pine resin in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with an oily finish and average carbonation. Ok, but nothing special.
