Bottle in our appartment, Maui from the wine corner, Paia 25/04/14. Clear golden with a good sized off white head. Nose is floral hop, perfume, light citric peel, straw, hint of toasty malts. Taste comprises light caramel, straw, floral tones, lemon rind. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light hop bitterness in the close. Low end APA - just doesn’t deliver anything, there are all manner of beers half the ABV banging out 3 or 4 times the flavour !

Bottle. A- Caramel, red wine, dark fruits, sweet. A- Red brown color, hazy liquid, tan head. T- Licorice, cherry, red wine, dark fruits. P- Full Body, average texture, average carbonation, smooth finish. O- A super good Barleywine. Lots of fruity flavors and some nice spice from the anise tones. Very smooth and at 11% the alcohol is hardly noticeable at all. I’d like to try this with a year or so of age on it. A solid brew all around.

Bottle in our appartment, Maui, from the Wine Corner in Paia, 25/04/14. Clear golden amber with a good sized off white head that retains well. Nose is citric sherbets, light floral hop tones, straw, faint caramel, bitter orange, damp towel. Taste comprises light citric peel, bitter orange, straw, orange squash, bitter resonance. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. A rather muted low end IPA, looked the part but offered little at the business end.

A rare or new beer from mendo. From a bottle it looks half decent, typical yellow beer. Smell is yeast like and a tad of lemon, just perhaps, but absolutely no skunk on this. . Taste initially makes me think bitter pilsner then it develops a liking to my tongue. Yes, good sizzle and cut on each sip, comes across quite fresh . After a while this bitter near back of throat on tongue thing starts happening. Each new swig is quite satisfying. All the way to the end this bottle intrigues me. Yet, that back of throat thing starts to get medicinal on the finish.

355 ml bottle. Clear amber body with a nice, dense off-white head. Aroma is basically caramel malt and dry fruit. Flavor is sweet malt, caramel, dry fruit and medium bitterness, some alkohol. Full body and sweet aftertaste with a slightly harsh bitterness after a while. Drinkable but not very exciting.

355 ml bottle. Very dark brown body, almost black with a nice finger thick lacing tan head. Nice, relatively strong aroma of mocha, coffee and moderate roasted dark malt. Medium sweet, moderate roasted malt flavor with hint of vanilla and some fruity hops. Medium body and a bit short in aftertaste. Quite nice, drinkable, more than less standard dry stout with nothing extraordinary going on.
