Bottle from the Ermitage shop opposite the Loon Factory. Soft haze on a dark chestnut brown. Beautiful glossy topped lasting beige foam. Boss. Nose has swift earthy coffee bean on top of dark chocolate funky vinous gueuze. Some light oak and fruity twang. Drinks perilously easy and really smooth. Gets a bit juicy and more funky as it goes along. High class.

Can picked up at the brewery. Re-brew obviously. Hazed glowing gold. Decent sticky white swede. Nose has pineapple flesh. Soggy stone fruit. Bit of pine. Brioche malts. Taste has similarly bready sweetness first up with solid citrusy piny bitterness. Drinks very easy with a bit of twang. Decent bitter finish.

Can picked up at the brewery. Mostly clear medium gold. Slim white foam. Nose has sugary malt. Some ripened citrus. Bit of pine air freshener. Taste has some sweetness first getting nicely bitter. Clean and easy drinking. Decent bitterness to finish. Aroma is slightly off for some reason but otherwise it’s a good easy drinking affair with solid bitterness.

Can picked up at the brewery. Moderate haze on a pale gold. Slim white swede stays the course. Nectaron is up front here. Squishy and fleshy. Nice clean citrus twang. Clean dry grain backdrop. Taste has some sweetness but is mostly zesty and twangy on the bitterness. Fresh and refreshing overall. Good bitter finish. Nice.

Magnum. 3F. Rich’s 50th do. Misted medium gold. Nicely dense slim lasting white head. Nose has dusty fusty oak. Sherry cork. Light oxidation. Taste is dry with light puckering tartness. Touch of boost off the 7.3. Smooth overall. Fusty grape-y dusty finish.

Bottle at 3F. Rich’s 50th do. Hazed, slightly dirty gold. Very decent lasting white foam. Lovely floral herb here. Soggy leather. Mineral. Taste is semi sweet with a modicum of tartness. Dry and lean on the palate. Light tart finish. Went particularly well with a fatty sausage and some salty nuts.
