mcberko Profile

473mL can, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Nose has a delightful mix of bright NZ melony hops—man, that Riwaka comes out great—with a touch of allium from the Citra, pine, and oily resins. Flavour is super bright, with that Riwaka coming through beautifully—tons of tangy melon, gooseberry, white wine-ish—with light allium, oily pine, and crisp biscuity malt. One of us Backcountry’s best WCIPAs in quite some time. Bright, clean, immensely drinkable. Excellent.

Shift from Category 12 Brewing

1 month ago

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

473mL can, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma has a more grassy hop character than anything NZ-like, with a crisp crackery malt base. Flavour is more NZ-hop reminiscent, with tangy melony hops, bitter grassiness, and a crisp crackery malt base. Biting, bitter finish, but doesn’t seem like optimal NZ hop expression. Good.

Dorks from Storm Brewing (Canada, BC)

1 month ago

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

473mL can, pours a clear dark amber with a medium white head. Aroma is full of raspberry and blackberry gummies andnsemi-artificial sugars. Flavour is light-to-moderate in sweetness, with lots of berry gummies, artificial sugars, ugh. I mean, you know when you buy something like this, it’s just a gimmick. Pretty piss poor stuff.

7.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5

473mL can, pours a clear copper with a medium white head. Aroma is full of bright melony hops, pine, some oily resins, and a thin biscuity malt base. Flavour has got that full, wonderfully white wine hop tang, replete with gooseberry and melon, piney hop bitterness, a touch of citrus, and a dry biscuity malt base. Long, tangy, bitter finish. Excellent.

Sprucio from Dageraad Brewing

1 month ago

7.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8

355mL can, pours a hazy dull golden with a small white head. Nose has a very nice, complex wild yeast character, gentle spruce, leather, hay, and a touch of lemon skins. Flavour has a great, subtle lemony tartness upfront, complex wild yeast, hay, musty leather, and a dry, cerealy, grainy malt base. The brett has eaten everything apparently, including most of the spruce presence. But it’s hard to complain when that yeast character is so satisfying. Excellent.
