Bottle from the brewery. They claim this is a red cerveza, whatever that is. Clear Ruby, copper pour, with a medium off white head. Aroma is malt forward, slightly nutty, toffee, and caramel. Hops are super light, grassy, with a semi sweet, bready, light fruit finish. Low bitterness, this is just a run of the mill red ale.

Can from the brewery. Hazy copper pour, with a medium off white head. Aroma is sweet malts, with a pine resin hop note. Murky, cloud mouth feel, solid carb. Medium bitterness, sweet malty finish, with more pine, and no fruit. Pretty rough for an ipa. Hoppy amber maybe....

Tap at the brewery. Good cereals, light grassy notes. Run of the mill, nothing special, but well made and good for what it is. It's a pils.

Bottle at the northern ontario beer fest. Hazy, slightly reddish pour, with a small white head. Aroma is seet, but quite faint, notes of random berries, and a touch of tartness. Good mouth feel, very soft carb. Finish is slightly tart with a mellow sweetness that finishes in what i can onky assume is haw berries. Its like a cross between a blueberry and a raspberry is what im tasting, a nice summer beer for sure,

Bottle at the northern ontario beer fest. Dark pour, but not quite black, with an off white, almost beige head. Aroma ks roasty, but not overly so. No hops, subtle coffee. Watery mouth feel, thin carb. Finish is medium bitter, light roast, and not much else. Lacks the body i expect from an oatmeal stout, and doesnt have much depth, or complexity.

Bottle at the northern ontario beer fest. Copper pour, small off white head. Aroma is yeasty, quite a bit of caramel, and grassy hops, with hints of minereals. Standard mouth feel, and carb. Finish is very lightly bitter, with loads of bready caramel malts.

Bottle brought to me from the brewery. Clear amber as you'd expect. Slight tan head that dissipates family quickly. Malty mildly toasty bread notes, with a hint of nori (dried seaweed), general sweetness. It's just a fairly straightforward beer, not super impressed.

Bottle from the brewery. Slightly cloudy copper-brown, with a bare sheet of head. Malty nose, with some sweetness and cerial with a touch of raspberry. Taste is mostly cerial malts, with a touch of bitterness, overlayed with mild honey sweetness and a touch of raspberry. The aftertaste lingers with a mild malt bitterness. I have no idea what a haw berry is, but this beer does not relay heavily on it for flavour. This is a decently done straight lager, with a touch of sweetness.

Ah a first. Wish I had better news. Bottle from the brewery. Pours a cloudy brown with a finger of head that leaves a persistent ring. Sweet malty nose, a bit of chocolate and piney hops. Taste up front is solid pine and resin hops, not overly strong. That is supported by a sweeter malty base, with those chocolate notes again. Finish swings fairly hard toward bitter. Not alot of finesse here. The hops under-delivers, the malt sweetness fights the hops, and a rough bitterness in the finish doesn't help. Not the worst IPA, but not the best.
