Can from Cotteridge Wines; clear dark copper pour with a frothy light tan head, aroma has sweet malts and toffee, taste has sweet red fruits, a hint of roast, sweet toffee.

Hazy blond colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have fairly bitter hops. Some light tropical fruit. Decent malty profile in the background.

On tap @ Kick. Slightly unclear deep golden body with a fine off-white head. Aroma is nice and fruity with citric, grapefruit and a good malt base. Flavor medium sweet malt, quite much fruity hops like grapefruit, citric fruit, passion fruit and floral yeast. Not very bitter but there is some kind of interesting slightly funky yeast thing going on here, not really sour but dry berry flavor with a hint of lemon. Not so easy to describe, but I like the refreshing flavor that’s just another IPA with fruit juice, this is a real beer with real hops and a balanced malt base.

Draft pour at Hop and Hound, Bothell. Clean golden pour with a thin fizz head. Very corn heavy wit here. Creamy cooked corn, sulfer like constant. A mess in that category, for me. Corn aroma. Corn flavor. Corn linger. Soft, cool coriander in between. Off, and less than pleasant. Far from my style of beer though, to be fair and honest. Not for me.

Clear dark red brown colour. Flavour is predominantly malty and has a little plum sweetness too.

Kick 250217. Golden color with an off-white head. Aroma is fruit, malt, hop, pine. Flavor is fruit, malt, hop, pine, hay, grass. Medium body. Ordinary beer.

Keg at the Euston Tap - East Lodge, 27/01/17. Chestnut brown with a well appointed light beige cap. Nose is toffee, biscuit, brown bread, dried fruit esters. Taste comprises toasted brown sugar, cocoa sprinkle, brown bread, toffee, airy malts, biscuit crumble. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Par for style.

Very deep brown with a tan and tall head. Deeply toasted malt, chocolate, pine and resin hops, rustic hop bite. Dry. Full bodied. Bought on a lark because I like tobogganing and very impressed.

Back log On tap at the tap station west Seattle. Pours out amber topped with a sand head. Nose is bread malts light grassy floral hops and some caramel sweetness. Taste is more of the malty sweetness and a light hop.
