Oakes Profile - Brewver

Purple, opaque and Like a bubbling pot of chili, except it looks like a blueberry smoothie. Smells like blueberry doughnut. Taste of sugar covered doughnut, blueberry jam. Thick, slightly tart, not hating on this.

Petaluma from Superflux Beer Company (Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦)

1 year ago

6.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7

Pale, opaque. Spicy hop…the nose is stone fruit, the palate is lemony and weedy, with actually not so much hop burn. The lack of burn allows the sweet malt base to show through a bit. Did they tweak something? Am I on crack? This seems like it has a semblance of structure and is terpy as fuck.

Guinness Foreign Extra Stout (St. Lucia) from Heineken Saint Lucia (Vieux Fort, St. Lucia 🇱🇨)

1 year ago

6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6

Brewed by W&L. The Lucian version is the base extract blended with Piton and this characterizes the beer. The stout part is roasty, almost to the point of astringency. But the herbal Piton hops clash with the Guinness, rendering the beer borderline unpalatable. I’m pretty sure this is the worst FES I’ve had. 6-3-6-3-12 = 3.0

Old rating from when I went to St. Lucia and on RB it was lumped into the generic FES entry.

Coolship No.2 from Strange Fellows Brewing (Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦)

1 year ago

7/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7

Hazy, pale, not much head. Brett up front, some phenols, the paint thinner or cleaner varietal. Medium body. Light bitterness of aged hop…basically they aimed for lambic, but the wild ferment went in that phenolic direction and they couldn’t blend their way out of it. Everything else works, though.

Conspiracy IPA from Yukon Brewing (Whitehorse, Canada 🇨🇦)

1 year ago

6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6

Amber, dull haze, medium head. Surprisingly weak for an old school IPA…mild pine and citrus but also mild malt. More of amber ale or mild apa. The ravens on the label sre cool; they deserve better.

Infamous Life from Small Gods Brewing (BC) (Sidney, Canada 🇨🇦)

1 year ago

4.6/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 5 Overall 4

Some pale, greyish, opaque shit. No head. Like okay I do like guava juice but not at this price and not when I want a beer. Aroma of hop burn. Taste of hop burn. Weak malts. Okay wow, I thought this would be something of a regular hazy pale, instead I got something that could out-chalk a 1950s schoolteacher. Thin, weak finish. This sense of balance is simple not appealing to the human palate. I don’t mean that in some jocular, past my lupilin threshold way either. I mean this is poorly executed beer, below the standard of either brewery.
