This amber poured a deep amber colour with a creamy, off white head. Minimal lacing. Scents include malt, cardboard and ripe fruit. First swig was pretty good. A little sweet and slightly thin but nice flavour. Flavours of toffee, light toast, ripe fruit and mild hops. Finish is malty with light bitterness lingering.

This pale ale poured a hazy, light yellow colour with a nice, fizzy big head. Decent lacing. Scents include grass, lemon and orange citrus, pine and minimal cooked veggies. First swig was crisp and clean with flavours of lemon, grass and pine. Finish is Lemon Pledge with medium bitterness lingering. One of those to me as having too much flavour on the hop side…

This lager poured a hazy, light yellow colour with a decent, bright white head. Nice lacing. Scents include corn, dough, biscuit and a little honey and hops. First swig was ok. A little weak full of corn flavours and milder hop. Finish is corn and hop with that same hop bitterness lingering. Drinkable.
