Okay hazy orange body and a bit of foam. Soft apricot and vague peach on the nose, both way too soft. Taste is a chewy peach, vague apricot, ending full and slightly sweet. A little soft but getting the job done.

Hazy deep orange body and minimal foam. Very weak cereal on the nose, almost not there. Taste is wet dough, vague cereal and banana, ending very watery. Seems like half a saison at best.

Very nice deep blackish brown body, good foam. Soft biscuit on the nose, a little black coffee, all a little too faint. Taste is a chewy biscuit, good carbonation, slight molasses. Nothing to it but made well enough.

Medium brown. Medium head. The aroma is toasty, light roast. On the palate, it's a bit sweeter than that. Sort of a lowish bitterness, toast/roast but not a bad malt complexity. Even a light fruitiness. It's richer than Horseshoe Bay Nut Brown was, but I can actually see an homage in the yeasty dark malt character.

473ml can. Pours an opaque dark brown, almost black with a small, creamy, short lived, tan head that laces nicely. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, milk chocolate and vanilla. Sweet flavour of lightly roasted malt, lactose, strawberry, milk chocolate and vanilla in a dry, mild bitter finish. Medium body with a smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. A bit sweet, but does remind me of the ice cream. Would be a good desert beer.

473mL can, pours a deep dark brown / near-black with a large beige head. Nose is full of piney hops, some resins, and roasted malt. Flavour is smooth and balanced, with moderate piney hops, low-level roasted malt, and a tiny hint of fruitiness. Nicely balanced, not harsh at all, but I wish it were a little more forceful. Finishes smooth, without much trace of bitterness or roast. Good, just a bit timid.

473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy red-orange with a medium, frothy, short lived, pale pink head that laces. Mild aroma of grainy malt, tart cranberry and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy malt, yogurt, cranberry and floral hops in a dry, tart finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Refreshing and crushable. Good for the summer heat.

On tap. Pours a clear dark brown with red hue and a medium, creamy, long lasting, tan head that laces. Sweet aroma of lightly roasted malt, caramel and craft root beer. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, dark chocolate, lactose, caramel and light cinnamon in a dry, mild bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. A little sweet, but enjoyable.
