This IPA poured a lightly hazy, medium yellow colour with a minimal, off white head. Nice lacing. Scents include corn, corn syrup, straw and a wee bit of perm solution. First swig was boldly flavoured and slightly sweet with tastes of hops, corn, dough… just to name a few. Finish is lingering sweet with a little honey and hop bitterness lingering.

This NEIPA poured a hazy, medium yellow with a nice, creamy off white head. Nice lacing. Scents include peach, apricot, citrus, grass and a wee bit of corn. First swig was quite nice and refreshing. Flavours of apricot, light peach, citrus in a nicely, not over-hopped beer. Lots of hop flavour without the piercing bitterness. Finish is citrus and grass flavours lingering.

This hazy pale poured just that, hazy, light yellow colour with a creamy, bright white head. Nice lacing. Scents include pineapple, lemon and orange citrus, clove, light wiener and straw. First swig was really hoppy. Too much for this guy. Flavours of lemon citrus, grass, honey and spice. Finish is bitter as hell with grassy citrus flavours lingering. Too much.
