Teku showing deep gold with a finger of clean white foam.
The nose shows moderately intense notes lemon drops and hints of pine.
The palate is well carbonated and light bodied. Balanced notes of lemon drops and light pine resin with a balanced malt backbone throughout. Very crushable.

Bighand Bros Gyrolite Session India Porter
3.5% 51 IBU
Dark brown with thick tan foam that lasts and leaves a copious amount of lacing behind. Toasty chocolate malt aroma with notes of piney malt. Medium bodied with a fairly smooth mouthfeel.
This is excellent, so much flavor for the low ABV.

Taster showing pale gold with a finger of clean white foam.
The nose shows intense notes of grapefruit pith.
The palate is well carbonated and light to medium bodied. Grapefruit zest and pith forward with a round grapefruit bitterness that is balanced out by a mid-palate malt backbone. Just a solid IPA.

Hazy gold with eggshell white foam and a juicy citrus aroma. Medium bodied with a raspy mouthfeel. The taste starts off juicy then coconut, and green hoppiness.
Quite an interesting brew.

Big Hand Bros. Black Jade Porter
4.5% 22 IBU
Cola brown verging on black with tan foam and a chocolatey aroma. Medium bodied with a bit of a scratchy carbonation. Nice chewy chocolate malt flavor, think chocolate buns.
It’s got a simple flavor profile but sure hit the spot. Solid.

Big Hand Bros Jasper
Red Rye Ale 5% 28 IBU
Nice Amber gold with fairly dense light beige foam that lingered longer than Stibnite’s, it also left more lacing behind. The aroma has that peppery caramel I often get from rye beers. Full bodied with raspy mouthfeel. It has a malt-forward flavor that gives lots of caramel, spicy rye and some surprising floral notes. Fun stuff.
