Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 8
Hazy golden-orange colour with a frothy-bubbly white cap, decent retention and some nice foamy lacing lines. The nose really has a West Coast hop feel at first with the big green, grassiness. The oats do come out with time to balance things, with herbal notes. The mouthfeel is juicy with a building dryness in the finish. The citrusy hops are somewhat hidden in here, showing a little zest giving some bitterness. Orange juice in the noise does show up late. I find this is a nice blend of the West and East Coast IPAs.

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 8
Dark brown colour with ruby-copper highlights, a big light mocha-coloured head, frothy, somewhat creamy, good retention and creamy-foamy lacing. Roasted malt aromas giving some mild dark fruit notes, like dates, dry plums. Hints of cacao and coffee. The mouthfeel is slightly silky, but gets dry pretty quick, and lingers. The same flavours found in the nose with some good grassiness of hops in the end. Not super coffee, but a well-balanced stronger, dry stout.

Clean, golden colour with a frothy white cap, good retention and foamy lacing. Mild aromas of citrus (lemon, orange zest). Some decent bitterness, dryness. Lightly oily mouthfeel in the middle. Gets a slight hazed up as it pours. Orange peel, zest and milder all around, but still hoppy for a lager. Decent!

Oh my, forgot this clear 341ml bottle ($5.50 CDN) in the back of my fridge from many years ago. Let's do it! Amber-copper clean with a red hue. Cranberry aromas and taste, which some sweetness in the nose, and some grassy hints. Seems syrupy in the smell, but the mouthfeel falls dry enough to cut this. Wood notes. A good dry, woody, berry cider.

Rich amber colour, mostly clear with a big frothy light-beige cap, bubbles forming, creaminess coming out, very good retention and lacing. Red ale aromas of maltiness with the fruitiness, caramel and nuttiness - for base. Grassiness comes out to give the IPA touch. The mouthfeel is pretty flat with a light dry building end. The taste blends well the hops with the malt base. An easy-drinking Red IPA that does not overpower the hops.
