On tap at the Hardrock 42 in Sudbury. Slightly hazy yellow pour, with a very small white head. Aroma is typical of a wit, lots of lemon, and Corrigan derived notes with some solid malted wheat. Mouth feel is thin, a little watery with a soft carb. Finish is lightly bitter with a subtle wheat sweetness and alot more coriander.

Slightly hazy yellow pour, with a medium white head. Aroma is very soft, and subtle. It’s a touch spicy, and a little citrusy. Very light body and mouth feel with a lively carb. Finish is slightly pithy, some nice grapefruit, and a little zesty.

Hazy yellow pour, medium white head. Pale malts, crackery, with some soft grassy, floral hops. Light citrus zest, hints of passion fruit and earthy hop cones. Light bitterness, adds some nice depth of flavour to a light, bland base beer.

Bottle from the brewery. Dark brown pour with a medium off white head. Aroma is funky and tart with a strong vinous cherry note. Malts are very earthy, with hints of brown sugar and cherries. Body is thin, carb is very soft. Finish is tart, no funk, cherries, earthy, semi sweet, with a subtle buttery notes and light bitterness. This style does not lend itself to wine barrel aging. Bourbon yes, wine barrel, no.

Hazy yellow pour, with a medium, frothy white head. Aroma is incredibly fruity. Loads of stone fruit, light cereals, hints of mango and especially peach. Light sour notes, hints of funky brett. Light mouth feel, solid carb. Refreshing, tangy, slightly funky, very low bitterness. Finish is light tangy canned peach juice, with some light yeast and bretty sour goodness. Nice stuff.

Cask at the 2017 Northern Ontario microbrew festival. Jet black, big pillowy brown head. Dark, charred, burnt roasty Aroma. Loads of coffee, with hints of light tartness, and hints of subtle sweetness from the vanilla. The vanilla and cranberry and super subtle, and hard to find, they are there, but I think could be a touch stronger. The base beer is still great, big, rich, roasty, coffee, hints of soy. I enjoyed it.

Very dark brown pour with a small beige head. Very dry, malt forward nose. Some light metal and soft dark fruit. Hints of molasses and dark brown sugar. Lively carb, and a solid mouth feel. Finish is lightly bitter with alot of bready, sweet malts. Alcohol is well hidden and some age should curb the sharp cereals in the aroma.

Can from the brewery. Lots of roast, but lacks the body and mouthfeel of an oatmeal stout. Hints of cocoa powder, and light coffee, watery mouth feel, standard carb. Light to medium bitterness. Good, not great.

Fresh Growler from the brewery. Hazy orange pour, small white head. Aroma is super yeasty, sharp citrus, pear and vinous white grapes. Sharp cereals and crisp grassy, slightly citrusy hops. White grapes, chardonnay notes.... Medium bitterness, and slightly boozy. Nice stuff.
