This pale ale poured a hazy, deep orange colour with a creamy, off white head. Nice lacing. Scents include caramel, hay, cooked veggies and tea. First swig was not as hoppy as expected. Flavours of tea, citrus, hay and honey. Finish is medium hoppy bitter with tea flavours lingering.

full light tan head on a very dark brown body. Well sustained lacing. Nose profiles the citrus hops, big roasted malt and some rye spiciness. Blending the brown ale with the hops creates a big old fashioned East Coast IPA with a lot of bite and density. Citrus and earthy hop notes, roasted caramel malt, that rye spice and some pepper work well on a rich and high medium carbonation body. A touch of warmth from the booze. Very nice

A full white head on a pale straw body. Very punchy and appealing aroma featuring kiwi, orange, lemon and a touch of pine. The taste profile starts a bit subdued but hop driven tropical fruit, orange, lemon and grapefruit elements grow after an understated start. Sweet malt with a touch of grain round out and balance the taste. Solid body and texture. Refreshing, pleasantly hoppy and well balanced.

pink tinges in the body and head. Nose features dark berries, currants and a solid tart sourness. Out of the blocks, a solid cleansing sour berry front. Tart and slightly acidic. Finishes with yogurt, cherries and black currants. Simple and enjoyable.

Best IS in a can ever? The nose is a solid combination of coffee, vanilla and cream. A thick tan head on a near black body. Some really solid tastes in balance here. Slightly bitter coffee, chocolate, molasses, burnt maple sugar, tar, cream and some hops underneath. A really nice sipper and a great value at the price

A fluffy ivory brown head. The nose is quite faint, with elements malt and chocolate. Chocolate and cream lead the taste profile, which is unusual for a brown ale, to say the least. That said, this is an understated, well blended beer with sub-tastes of mild grassy hops and roasted nuts. A bit off category but it all hangs together.

Dark copper pour, light beige head. Aroma is straw, caramel cereals, light grass. Nice mouth fee, good carb, low bitterness. Decent marzen.

Clean, amber colour with golden highlights, a warm-whitish head, average stay, with some lacing spots and a small coat over the brew. Amber lager fruity mild aromas, a tad toasty, but with a Pils-spiciness and Italian Pils herbal touch. Light, wet mouthfeel with a decent, mild dryness. Again, flavours of malty-fruitiness, spicy-Pils and herbal hoppiness. A crisp, refreshing Märzen with a touch of North America in its hops.
