Can. Delivered by the brewer day after ordering. Hazed gingery gold. Slim white foam. Nose has sticky malts. Touch of dank hop leaf. Bit of pineapple and sweet ripe melon. Nice hit of vinous Nelson. Taste is semi sweet with moderate bitterness. Drinks old school. Plenty of depth. Nice juicy bitter finish.

Can. Mitchell’s Wines I think. Or the Dram Shop. Light haze on a slightly odd grey tinged gold. Decent thick white foam. Nose has light citrus peel hop. Orange flesh and zest. Light clean grain. Taste is dry and nicely bitter. Good easy drinking. Decent depth of flavour. Light dry light citrus bitter finish. Solid.

Can. Dram Shop. Just about clear fairly deep gold. Slim but super sticky lacing lasting white foam. Looks the business. Nose has sticky malt loaf grain. Hops are herbal, sappy, almost minty and eucalyptus like. Bit dank and a bit sweaty. Definitely out of the ordinary and I think I’m liking it. Taste has plenty of sweetness with a fair punchy resinous bitterness. Lots of body. Bit sticky. Bit punchy. Big bitterness to finish. Wow. Wasn’t expecting that. Bold hoppy unusual super easy drinking sappy old school IPA. Boss.

Can. Dram Shop. Hazed glowing orange gold. Fairly thick bubbly lasting white foam. Looks good. Nose has peach nectarine and ripe yellow melon. Very fruity and bubblegum like, then I saw it’s Krush in here and there you go. Light slight oaty character. Taste is light dry with some sweetness and a decent lean bitterness. Drinks easy and clean. Light dry light bitter finish. Good gear especially on a day way too hot for comfort.
