Description
We’ve always relied on our wits to give us an edge. We tried things others wouldn’t and refused to let being smaller keep us from thinking big. To become masters of our craft, we had to be pretty darned crafty. This spirit is at the heart of everything we do—and in every drop we brew.

Pours a clean light amber colour with a warm cap and creamy lacing. Mildly sweet malt aromas with caramel notes and light fruity grain. Same for taste with a little rusty-hoppy finish. Refreshing mineral water feel with the mild cereal and hops blend lingering. Not a session IPA (which seems to be the going thing this year), but a decent session ale.

Blond color with no head. Smells and tastes like cheap Lager, a lot of corn, dryish, and moderate bitterness.
Poor.

Part of their Selection of the moment tester 6-pack. Was not expecting much, but this reminds me so much of the Granville Lion beer. Dark clean amber with a beige frothy head, good retention and lacing. Cocoa smell with some vanilla. Well-blended cocoa as well in the taste giving a chocolate malt finish. Quite surprise with this one. Very nice seasonal winter brew.

Can from Beers of Europe. Gold with a white head and a lot of fizz. Looks like a macro lager if I’m honest. There’s a brief moment of brightness up front - a little twist of lemon and a bit of vanilla- but it all too quickly descends into fizzy, metallic sweetcorn juice. There’s a tiny hint of grassy hop in the background, but not enough to distract from what is a pretty dreadful beer.
