SEP-2019. Draft at BCBF. Batch 106. Pine apple, soft hop oils, no hop burn. Juicy, but not sugary. Excellent. 4.0/5.
CAN. Batch 54 - first canned batch! Cloudy pale yellow, big white head that gets soapy soon enough. The aroma is fruit and hop - more like ripe apricot and pineapple with some peaches and gooseberries throw in, super soft lupulin-like oils. The taste is just as mellow and user friendly - mellow, but not the slightest bit dumbed down - zero sugars, suttle fruit juice, super soft hop bite. No garlic, no diesel, not even much spring onion in this one. A fine balance between juicy flavours and hop resins. Great. 8-4-8-4-15=3,9.
JUL-2108. BATCH #50/LMA. Bright opaque orange, diminishing white head. The aroma is quite weedy upfront, with some green hop lupulin sharpness. Peach/apticot/pine-apple juice unbeneath. The weedy note turns into some kind of onion left in the fridge overnight - just a touch - quite pleasant, actually. The taste is a modern style hop juice IPA - juicy and hoppy, with low alpha acid bitterness. Well balanced - no hop burn (at this age), no sugary nectarine malts - just enough of everything. Yep, you can call it craft beer. 7-5-8-4-15=3,9
JAN-2017. BOTTLE 50 CL. Almost clear amber, off-white head. Bright fruity aroma, ripe oranges, sweet and tart tropical fruit and peaches, a hint of citrus pith and almost no resins. No malts on their own. The taste is medium sweet - no malts, but sweet citrus, ripe pink grapefruit, soft citrusy bitterness. Clean, well done. 7-4-7-4-14=3,6

NOV-2018. CAN 50 CL, 6% ABV. Opaque black, beige head. Quite a bit of coconut in the aroma - coconut oatmeal cookies, coconut candies. Smooth enough, not cheap. Less of a porter though. The taste is fairly (coco-)nutty too - less sweet, not much toasty-roasty flavours, more of that coconut flakes oily bitterness. The body is not exactly thin, but kinda lacks some of that malty/grainy substance and smoothness. Drinkable, probably as good as it gets, but still... a gimmick more than a beer. 7-4-6-4-13=3,4.
DEC-2016. Bottle 50 CL from the brewer. Totally black, dark espresso head. The coconut dominates the light chocolaty notes. Fortunately, the taste is more balanced - only subtle coconut, subtle black chocolate and hints of dark fruits, followed by a dry bitter finish with light notes if burnt oil. Very good. 6-4-7-4-14=3.5.

BOTTLE 50 CL from the brewery. Hazy red, beige head. Some sticky caramel, that slowly turns into a buttery and nutty cake. Light hoppy notes, ranging from wild to somewhat medicinal herbs. The taste is moderately sweet, caramel, just a little bit of toasty notes, pretty robust dry herbal bitterness (again, slightly medicinal). A bit peculiar, but well done.

Free BOTTLE 33CL from the brewer. Almost clear copper, off-white head. Aroma has citrus and tropical fruit, some grass and pine. Not super-intense, but clean and „correct”, with only light caramel and biscuits(?). The taste is even shorter on malts - subtle caramel and lollipop - with more citrus and dank notes and a clean zesty finish. Well done!

Bottle from one of the brewers (’sup, man?). Pale orange with a white head.A bit dank, with notes of orange zest and tropical fruit. Very refreshing and easy to drink. Looking forward to more beers from these guys.
