Description
Hello and welcome to my passion and project to build a nano-brewery in the Surrey countryside. The mission is to make beers that are inspired by craft beer from around the world, particularly breweries from my time living in Canada.

Can from the brewer's own stall at Farnham Farmers' Market. Hazy deep gold with a large white head. Nice bright aroma and flavour - pineapple, juicy oranges and over-ripe grapes. The finish isn't quite as good, with some leafy floral notes not quite working with the juice. Nevertheless it's still an enjoyable NEIPA.

Can from the brewer's own stall at Farnham Farmers' Market. Dark brown with a beige head. Sweetish, presumably from the maple syrup although I didn't get the maple flavour itself. Chocolate hints, a light roasty note and then pine in the gently drying finish. The pine doesn't really go with the sweetness, and it's a tad on the thin side. Pretty average overall.

Can ordered from the brewery. Opaque chestnut brown. Thick foamy light beige head. Aroma has roasted malts. Hints of spice. Feint underlying berries low key maple syrupsweetnes.. Combines or maybe plays-off sour berries with coffee. Vestigial sour milk. Develops sweet caramel into the finish. Light-medium bodied. Slick to oily. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Decent and certainly superior to the other beers I've had from this new local brewery.

Almost clear golden orange topped with an off white cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is lemon, straw, grains, chemical esters.
Taste comprises hedgerow, modest citric zest, astringent bitterness.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close.
Not great, off notes, had much better homebrew.

Can ordered from the brewery. Lost my initial rating so am paraphrasing myself. It looks the part - clear amber with a fluffy foamy off-white head. And the aroma has dough ane caramel with a grainy edge. However it tastes pretty industrial. The initial sournedged citrus and grains plus.spice devolop a saccharine sweetness and a metallic edge. The underlying malts provide dough but it's watery rather than chewy. Thing. Light. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Fails to fire in all cylinders.
