Can share at the satellite 10k tasting at the craft clerko. Clear golden orange with a really frothy white head. Aroma is nice resinous hop, tangerine and dank. Flavour is slightly resinous, some dank and pine hop. Some slightly dirty hop. Light biscuity malt. Palate is medium body low sticky hop. Highish carbonation decent.

Can thanks to Justin! Pours black with a foamy brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a combination of dark grains, sweet chocolate and roast with the slightest hint of coffee. Flavor starts sweet dark grains and chocolate but finish is more roasted malts and a touch of coffee.

473ml can. Clear golden colour with average to huge, fluffy, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, barely white head. Piney and fruity hoppy aroma, notes of pineapple, some grapefruit, a herbal and spicy touch with liquorice resemblances, caramel malty background. Taste is moderately sweet caramel malty, piney and fruity hoppy with notes of pineapple and grapefruit; minimally biting bitter hoppy finish; Relatively mild bitterness for 99 IBUs, though the bitterness adds up with time. Nice composition, simple, clean but not aseptic, quite refreshing.

Opaque dark brown beer, small pale tan head. Palate is light and airy. modest fine carbonation. No dark malt character here, despite the colour. Little rye spice in the modestly creamy malt. Hops are a nicely balanced mix of pine, mellow skunk and ripe dark orange. Smooth semi dry finish. Spicy mint aftertaste. Tasty and pretty easy drinking.

Bottle rated from old notes. Bit of a gusher on opening, pours hazy ruby hazel, large tan creamy head that slowly dissipates but leaves nice lacing. Aroma is tart cherry, Brett, funk. Flavor is not tart actually. Light sweet, light plus funky, basement things, some residual malt, but very dry, almost dusty, with a sharp acidic finish. Medium body and high (too high) carbonation. I have to believe this is infected, but it actually is not too bad.

Bottle from backlog. Pours clear amber with a small fizzy off-white head that dissipates pretty quickly leaving some residual and lacing. Aroma is grain, spices, cinnamon, clove. Flavor is light sweet, burst of lemon, clove, bit of lemony tartness. Medium body, interesting, not necessarily good.
