Sampled at the source Nitro pour. Light hazy brown in color with massive lacing. Aroma is ale yeast, light nuts and caramel. Flavor is exactly as the aroma with a great smooth, creamy texture from the Nitro. Clean finish, no flaws, simple.

Handbottled (backlog). Amber colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is sweet malts, some rye, toffee and a bit nutty notes. Flavour is ryebread, some nutty notes along with mild floral and quite sweet maltiness to it.

Bottle @ home, thanks to Lukaduke (I believe). Thanks Luke (maybe). Pours a very light yellow appearance with a white head. At first it smells pretty good with some lemon and lactic acid but then there’s a hint of nail polish / chemicals. It’s hard to get past that after it’s noticed. Moderately tart. Lots of lemon, guava, and yogurt. A little twangy note of chemicals in the mouth as well. Not super clean. Still somewhat drinkable but just not one of the better renditions of the style. I wouldn’t purchase this again.

650 ml bottle purchased at The Tap. A near clear gold with an Amber hue, thin head. Aromas are pepper, weak fruit and very weak rye malt.

The flavor shows a weak rye malt backbone with a mildly lingering citrus bitterness.

Body is lighter then Medium. I was searching for more rye Or more hops. It’s drinkable but don’t expect to much.
