16oz can from Hops & Bottles. Clear golden, fizzy head, lively carbonation. Hoppy aroma, dank. Taste leads with the hops, dank, oily, herbal, resinous. Mouth coating, sticky. A lot more dank than some beers that use dank in their name.

Pint can. Bright golden pour with a large white head. Ripe aroma is just about everything I’d want from an IPA; citrus and tropical fruity bits with a touch of pine. Big hop flavors in this one, not much sweetness and a lot of dry lingering bitterness. Some tropical fruit, but mostly floral and piney. Sticky. A solid IPA in classic West Coast style.

16 oz. Aroma has notes of peach, B.O., cantaloupe, citrus rind, coconut, pine. Pours nearly clear golden with a one finger bone-white head with excellent retention. Taste has a moderate pithy bitterness that builds on the palate backed by a candy sweetness, finishing dry. Perfectly carbonated velvety mouthfeel. Nice.

Bale Breaker Moxee Made IPA 6.2% 45 IBU Clear gold with thick white foam and an enticing hop bouquet with fruity hops and woodsy prickly pine notes. Medium bodied and quite slick mouthfeel but crisp finishing. Bitter but balanced - this is a really classic style IPA. Tasty.

Bake Breaker Dormancy Breakfast Stout 6.8% Deep black with ruby highlights and great dense thick tan foam. Big roasty sweet coffee aroma, full luscious body. Very roasty, it’s a little acrid for me as I’m not a coffee drinker but this is a solid brew that doesn’t disappoint.

750 waxed. 2021 vintage is 10.2% ABV and aged in Jameson barrels, not bourbon. Aromas of whiskey, coffee, green pepper, smoke, raisin, vanilla, nuts, coconut. Pours very dark brown to black with a one finger beige head with decent retention. Taste is lightly sweet with a firm hoppy bitter edge. Very nice.

On tap at Bale Breaker / Yonder, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma is fairly subtle, with oats and toasted malt. Flavour is hearty, with lots of oats and toasted malt. Dry and hearty. It doesn't have a lot of depth, but it's smooth, hearty and highly drinkable. Good stuff.
