My Stats (Click one to view detailed breakdowns)
Deeply underachieving beer snob. I'll occasionally have a drink, and when I do I want it to be a good one. Oh, and if I give a detailed rating on a beer, rather than a quick tick, you can ignore the specifics. I don't need to judge appearance, or whatever. I just don't want to leave a rating rounded to the nearest .5, like the quick tick limits you to.

Can from the lovely brewery. Nice dense bready,.mildly sweet cereal malts, with resin and pine, tangerine, and a little hop burn. Lingering orange zest, hop burn, and orange pith bitterness that lingers.

Picked up in a drive by the brewery. The staff member mentioned to keep the sours cold. I though, "to keep them fresh". In hindsight, I realized she meant, " to keep the beer from exploding because it's still Brewing." Yep these are can conditioned? I did realize until about a week later when the can distended. Guess the power outage at the cottage put it over the edge, not that it ever got particularly warm. Opening the can really brought the name gusher home. Lots of orange thick juice head, everywhere. The taste is straight mango juice, thick plupy mango juice. Lots of carbonation, maybe because I left it too long, so your experience might be different. It's sweet, not with a notable malt background, or much in the way of sour. It's just essentially a mildly boozy, fizzy, mango juice, which is the fruit that dominates. Understand what it is, and it's pretty tasty. It's not much of a sour. And don't let it sit.

Can from St Jacob's Market. The slightly oddly named American IPA a fairly-clear copper pour, with malt -sweet nose. Taste leans towards bittering hops all over a sweet toasted malt. The sweet bready toasted malt lingers, with mild bitterness. This is a tasty beer, but IPA? No. I don't know what the IBU are, but they can't be in IPA range. A decent ale? Yes. Poorly classified, but enjoyable enough.

Well in the country. But the most amazing views. They don't do flights, of their many beers. But a must stop if you're in PEC.

Draft at the brewery. Pours a very cloudy blonde with orange undertones, very fluffy white head that sheets. Tastes juicy tropical, slight hopper, a little resin over sweet ready malt. Quite good.

Drafted the Brewery. The nose, and I've never said this before, has hints of meatball, some dank, and some cereal. Taste is some gang hops, little resin over a full bready malt. Slight bitterness on the Finish.

Draft at the brewery. Is hey malts, with notable candi sugars. Taste his biscuit malts notable sweetness, from the added sugar, with a bitterness that lingers. A little disappointed in this one.
