Muddy, thin head. Dull aroma is mostly phenolic, but with a touch of nuttiness. Moderate bitterness, a bit thin, and this hasn’t got either much body or much malt complexity. It’s been a while since I had anything from this brewery, but honestly this isn’t to the level I remember from them.

355mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out stale bready malts, some earth and toasted caramel. Flavour is better, with a decent blend of hops and roast. Not very deep, but it's reasonable enough.

2016-17 winter edition at 6.8% ABV. Pours a slight hazy golden colour with a small off-white head that disappears rather quickly, leaving minimal lace. Big cereal grain with hints of caramel malts. The taste starts off with the cereal malts and ends up with a decent dryness from the hops. Mild grassiness. Not a bad Helles, but not your typical winter warmer with spices. Good lager though.

Oh boy... the smell reminds me of a Saison, and I love this style. Murky golden colour with white cap, very long stay and foamy lace. Sweet yeasty aromas with fresh grass. Hints of citrus as well. The taste has the yeast balancing the grapefruit zest and grassy notes. The wheat shows up in the nose after breathing quite a bit. The bitterness grows and the flavours get better. A very nice brew overall.

Pours a clean rich caramel-amber colour with a warm creamy cap, good retention and creamy lacing. Very grainy with cereal notes in the nose, kind of like hay. The taste is malty with some fresh hops balancing things. Decent bitterness in the finish. Some hints of the caramel malts. A nice blend of cereal malts and fresh hops. Pretty nice ESB!

This stout poured a deep black colour with a huge tan head. Little lacing. Scents include alcohol, molasses and burnt toast. First swig was quite boozy! Flavours of molasses and burnt malt prominent. Very creamy. Finish is is sweet and burnt with a small splash of cough syrup? Very good. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle: Poured a light amber color ale with a medium size foamy head with limited retention. Aroma of light blackberries and tart notes is OK. Taste is a mix of light blackberries with some tart notes, lactic yogurt and no residual sugar notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable but well short on level of complexity.
