Can. A light haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head, doesn't last long. Light palate, mildly dry, a good fine minerally crispness. Light bodied pale malts, a nice light creamy sweetness. Eggers hops (for me, a better name would be Chameleon) once again present slightly differently. Well, light cooling pine - tick, mild hop spice - tick and then, and then... light sweetish tangerine and mandarin, trace of pink grapefruit. Traces of candy fruits and stone fruits. Light and crispy finish. A rather pleasant affair then and, Eggers continues to fascinate with, for me, it's ever changing presentation.

Can. Near clear gold beer, small bubbly off white head. Airy palate, a mild dryness, good fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, a pleasant light sweetness. Cooling pine hops. This comes over like a craft lager with lemon, except the lemon is more pink grapefruit. Light finish. A pleasant light fruity brew. Doesn't feel that crafty but it's pretty drinkable.

Cask at the Gidea Park Taproom. Near clear dark brown beer, small bubbly tan head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, pretty modest carbonation. Decent chocolate malts, good milk chocolate and a little tangy dark chocolate. Mellow nuts and mellower dark fruits. Light semi dry finish. Good flavour, lacks body.

Can. A mild haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Slightly thin bodied pale malts, a light creamy sweetness. Soft pine into light bright pine, light tangy ripe pineapple and a fair degree of thinnish coconut cream. A little limey Sorachi into a juicy hop fruity and slightly hop spicy finish. Great single hop IPA, shines.

Can. Hazy yellowish gold beer, small and short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, a good fine minerally crispness. Thin bodied pale malts, a decent sweetness imparted. Crisp cooling pine. A little Nelson like winey grape and mild skunk. Light bright citrus, a little lemon tinted here. Light crisp finish. Eggers has more faces than a politician. But, that's a good thing when it comes to hops.

Near opaque dark brown beer, small bubbly dark tan head, doesn't last too long. Palate doesn't feel heavy but, does carry a little viscosity. Good fine minerally carbonation. Fairly light bodied dark malts but, punching hard with dark chocolate, a little milk chocolate and abundant vanilla. Big bourbon barrelling on the back half. I mean big savoury spicy ripe fruity bourbon, a fair old intensity. Things come together into an airy richly flavoured boozy spicy finish. It's far from the most harmonious Transient brew I have had but, darling, the intensity is to die for.

Tasting at CBJ, thanks to the team. Clear pale gold beer, small and short lived off white head. Light palate, mildly dry, modest fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, sweet. Savoury skunk. Light candyish citrus. Light semi dry finish. Curious.

Keg at CBJ. Clear pale gold beer, small off white head. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin malts, good nutty sweetness. Cooling pine. Lager tang. Watery citrus. Light finish leaves a bitterish linger. Again, with this brewery, good flavour, no so good body.

Keg at CBJ. Near clear pale gold beer, small tidy off white head. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin pale malts, a forward nutty sweetness. Bitter noble hops, mildly floral and a little citrus and citrus peel. Light semi dry finish leaves a bitter linger. Robust lager but a tad dry.
