IPA pours darker orange, not too foamy. Nose has grass, really grassy hops there actually. Bit of sweetness. Taste is quite hoppy, some light tropics. Dry hop linger, more grassy stuff going on, refreshing, more like session IPA though. When not really spectacular, drinks well.

Bottle into glass. Shiny bronze beer with two fingers of foam on top. Light carbonation. You can smell hops, white wine and some peppery spice. Zingy in the mouth, easy-drinking. Earthy hops are apparent so are sweet wine grapes. Finish is long and complex, balancing the hop bitterness with glimpses of grape. Excellent.

(Bottle) Pours hazy golden amber with tiny head. Complex, engaging aroma - vinegar, cider, wood, pepper, funky hints. Great palate - light body with excellent carbonation. Great taste - complex, sour, balanced, interesting. There’s a dominant vinegar and cider sourness balanced by spice, woody notes, yoghurt notes and much more that defies my description. Excellent beer.

500ml bottle. Pours black. Smoke, oak, vanilla, cherry, raspberry, dates, touch of spice. Medium body with heavy carbonation. Nice complex stout with plenty of character from the oak. Really nice and at a crazy low price. Normally I wouldn’t mention things like that, but this bottle cost me $6!!!

Bottle. Murky amber with a white head. Loud pine and grapefruit aroma with some onion. True to some in the sub-style I guess. Softer on the palate with bread and peach before grapefruit and pine come along. Some mandarin, slight herbal notes. Medium to high bitterness. Picked up after initial impressions.
