This beer is close to being great. I like everything about it, except that all the characteristics seem a bit neutered. Some nice sun-baked pale malts, dried citrus peel, pine, a little earth and British yeast. With the guardrails off this could be a stunner.

Well it is certainly sweet! Almost doesn’t taste like a barley wine. The orange character is pretty strong, at times jammy and like orange creamsicles. There’s also caramel, toffee, stewed berries, mellow booze, sugar syrup. Lightly sticky finish. It’s interesting stuff. The orange blossom gives it a lift.
And I love these baby cans that Metalhead do. Perfect for big beers.

Murky, some ripening citrus, a little pithy bite, dried pine, mellow chalky green hop, dry pale malts, decent bitterness, a little pale grain. It’s just OK.

Nice tart berry character, low acidity, fairly juicy, a vague suggestion of cocoa, nips of cherry. Quite easygoing.

I enjoy a most any style of smoked beer and b TV Janis no exception. Mellow wheat/yeast expression, but a little, some dry smoke, lemon peel, nips of banana chips. Tasty and rather drinkable.
