On tap at Beach Cat - South Paw. Pours clear amber with an off-white head. Dry toffee and brown sugars on the nose. Flavour has that sticky, dry toffee quality; brown bread. Some charred sugars on the finish. Not the most elegant, more bread and less sugar in the malt profile would be nice, but this is very well put together.

On tap at Beach Cat - South Paw. Pours black with a beige head. Brown bread, dark sugars, and a bit of nuttiness on the nose. Flavour has a pretty solid malt profile for the style: brown bread, dark dry sugars, and some bread crusts. Very solid dark lager.

On tap at Beach Cat South Paw. Pours clear golden blonde with a white head. Nose is dank and floral. Flavour dry pine, and dank, floral grassiness. Malts are pretty attenuated. Decent bitterness. Not the cleanest hop expression, but not bad.

Pale and hazy, not much head. Vaguely orangey hop, some crackery type malt notes, mellow bitterness. It’s ok.

On draft at Beach Cat. Berko liked this, so I will probably absolutely love it. Fun and festive brew here. Lots of Christmas spices here. Cinnamon headlined. Reddish copper appearance. Hints of caramel malts. Slight note of a berry. Elderberry? Cool and unique brew. Enjoyed this.

On draft at Beach Cat. Clean and clear shiny golden appearance. Thin head that fades. Straw nose, dominated with little else. Flavor has a touch of mineral, some straw grains, and a grassy note that lasts to the late palate. Crisp throughout. Easy drinking. Good pils overall.

On tap at Beach Cat, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is full of spruce and diacetyl — that's not pleasant. Flavour is not subtle: totally ruined by buttery diacetyl, which mostly masks the spruce. Sweet, buttery, sprucey finish. Disastrous.
