Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5
On tap at Dageraad, pours a cloudy dark amber brown with a small beige head. Aroma has a nice dark cherry character, gentle oakiness, and light balsamic. Flavour is complex, with dark cherries, moderate acidity, balsamic notes, and a touch of brown sugar. Good balance of the sugars with the acetonic notes. Complex and well-constructed. Excellent.

On tap at Dageraad, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma has gentle bourbon notes, soft cocoa, and earthy, toasted malt. Flavour is bolder, with big bourbon barrels, medium roast, light vanilla, and cocoa. Not the most complex or elegant, but has a pleasant bourbon character. Good, but just shy of excellent.

On tap at Mariner, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is full of lacto, along with gentle passionfruit, guava, and generic acidity. Flavour is citrusy and acidic, with plenty of lacto, citric notes, and a touch of juicy passionfruit. Another low-quality fruited kettle sour—this one being worse than average for the style.

On tap at Mariner, pours a hazy dark amber brown with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of Xmas spices—ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon—with a soft toasted bready malt base. Flavour is much the same, with tons of cinnamon and nutmeg, more sugars than expected, and toasted malt. Not much malt depth, just a spice bomb that does little for me.

Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 5.5
On tap at Mariner, pours a clear bright golden with a small white head. Aroma has some grapefruit peel, sweaty hops, light resinous hops, and big bready malt. Flavour doesn’t have the most pleasant hop expression, with some sweatiness, grapefruit peel, and resinous notes. Big malt backbone too. Not a fan of the hop expression, nor the construction in general.
