6.5/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 7 Overall 6.5
Review based on the BJCP2021 guidelines (style 34C: 20B with whole oysters). Can 47.3 cl - Batch 2996A (BB unreadable). AROMA: medium roasted malt with chocolate notes. APPEARANCE: very dark brown color and opaque. medium light brown head, with medium-low to low retention. TASTE: similar to the aroma with medium roasted malt (dark chocolate, slight coffee). medium bitterness with a dry and salty finish. MOUTHFEEL: medium-low body with medium carbonation. OVERALL: an american stout made with oysters which doesn't reflect much in the flavor apart from a salty sensation in the aftertaste. still, its easy to drink.

Review based on the BJCP2021 guidelines (31A: rye, crystal rye / base 25B: standard/infra super) Can 47.3 cl - Batch 2966A (BB: undeclared - canned on 01/28/25). AROMA: medium-low spicy fermentation notes (slight clove, some citrus) with medium malty background (caramel, slight bread crust). APPEARANCE: amber color body with orange highlights and clear. medium dark beige head, creamy, with good retention. lace formation. TASTE: initial medium-low yeast fermentation notes (clove, slight citrus), that evolves into a medium malty profile (spicy/rye, caramel, slight breadcrust, toasty). medium bitterness with a semi-dry and slightly bitter finish. MOUTHFEEL: medium body with medium carbonation. OVERALL: a nice saison with alternative rye malt. would benefit from more yeast fermentation character.

Review based on the BJCP2021 guidelines (style 22A). Can 47.3 cl - Batch 3030A (BB: unreadable). AROMA: medium hop aroma (grapefruit, slight melon, slight resin). medium-low neutral malt background. slight alcohol notes. APPEARANCE: deep gold and clear. medium-low off-white head with good retention. TASTE: medium hop flavor less complex than aroma (slight melon, grapefruit, peach, lupulin). medium neutral malt background with a slight sweet hint. medium-high bitterness with a semi-dry and bitter finish that persists. MOUTHFEEL: medium body with medium carbonation. noticeable alcoholic warmth but smooth. slight astringency. OVERALL: a good double ipa with a different hop combination. the flavor is less complex in terms of hops but enjoyable nonetheless.

Tall Pint can (19.2 Fl Oz, so a UK Pint), drank at my daughters in Laguna Hills on 11th April 2025. Light haze to the golden body, white head that tried to hang around. Hop bitter with earthy, woody feel, citrus flavours also come into play, just look at the variety of the hop content. It's fine and a lot better than I expected (no idea what I was expecting to be honest).

Draft US Pint on 28th March 2025 in a Beach Hut Deli. Hazy dull golden body, white crust. Citrus nose and taste, pretty boring actually.
