Clean, light golden colour with a white frothy head, good stay and leaving foamy lacing spots. Fresh lime juices and zest in the aromas. The taste shows the lime juice and peel, with some light sourness and salitness. The wet mouthfeel is on the light body side and a tad tart is left. Quite a refreshing, lighter Gose with beautiful limes.

Mildly hazy with a bunch of unfiltered, transparent particles floating around. A frothy-soapy white cap, decent stay and leaving foamy clouds of lacing. Citrus zest aromas with a touch of wax (older can) and a touch of straw malt base. The taste continues with the same with some light tart left on the tongue. A little dry with lemon peel. A decent, light-drying, citrus zesty Oat Cream IPA.

Hazy golden-yellow colour with a white cap, decent stay and light lacing spots. Orange juice nose with a touch of piney notes, a tad bubblegum, berries, alcohol and tropical fruits. The mouthfeel has a mild dryness with a tad alcohol, bitterness. The flavours gives the citrus notes, lots of zest from them, and a touch of tropical fruits to blend things.

Second of two Imperial Stout tonight (the other being Beauregard). Pours a dark brown colour with ruby highlights, a big frothy-creamy beige head, good retention and thicker streaks of lacing left. Pretty much roasted malt nose, with maybe a tad nuttiness, banana and coffee. After breathing, alcohol does come out in the aromas, and continues into the flavours. Roasted barley, some grassy hops creating a mild building dryness. Nothing special here, but does the job of an Imperial Stout - and preferred the first one.

First of two 355ml cans of Imperial Stout to start the night. This one pours a black-looking colour with some ruby highlights, a nice frothy light-mocha coloured head, becoming creamy, lasting a decent time and thin, wet lacing left. Aromas of burnt barley with a touch of smokiness, some plums, molasses and hints of coffee. The mouthfeel is smooth, silky, oily with a building dryness, and bitterness eventually coming out. Roasted malt base flavours with a tad anise, molasses and grassiness. Quite a slick, easy-drinking stronger Imperial Stout with enough dry-bitter notes.

355ml can that pours a clean golden colour with a big creamy, whitish head, long lasting and leaving good lacing. Big coffee roasted grain aromas over some mild malty notes and hints of vanilla. The taste shows a little more the sweetness of the malts and lactose. A tad chocolate that lingers. The mouthfeel is on the thicker side with some decent light hops drying things a touch. Some tad bitterness and the coffee is felt as it goes. A pretty good white stout with the coffee-tiramisu notes.

A fairly clean golden-amber colour with a small off-white head, average stay and light lace. Spicy, rye-like grains, alcohol warming, with some hoppy bitterness, hints of wheat-banana for aromas. The cloves come out a little more in the taste, but still blends well with the barley, tad wheat and mild grassiness. A nice stronger Belgian amber beer that different, with only cloves as a spice in here.

Hazy amber colour with a golden hue, a light-beige head, frothy, bubbly with decent retention and leaving small spots on the glass. Toasted malt base aromas with some nice spices, hints of wheat-banana, mineral water that come out after breathing. The taste is a blend of the banana notes, spices and mild grassy hops. The mouthfeel is on the thicker side, but not syrupy, as the hops create a nice drying finish. The spiciness and grassiness lightly lingers. A touch of brown sugar and caramel all-around. Quite an easy-drinking Dubbel on the lower alcohol side, but still lots going on.

Can from the brewery - Easter 2024 trip, that pours a lightly hazy golden-amber colour with a frothy-bubbly white cap, long lasting with some soapy lacing left. Not sure why, but I am getting lots of Nelson Sauvin notes, rather than Riwaka. That nutty-grapeness I really like, not the grapefruit I am suppose to get. Maybe a bit of kumquat that is suppose to be. The mango of the Riwaka comes out in the taste with citrusy zest hints. Quite juicy with just enough building dryness to not be too thick. Still, vinous notes that I really enjoy the Sauvin hops. No matter what, this is a good APA.

Can from the brewery - Easter 2024 trip. Hazy enough, golden-yellow colour with an orange hue. A white frothy head, good retention and some nice, thick foamy lacing streaks. Quite nice fruitiness in the aromas with mango notes from the HBC 586 and white grapes from the Phantasm. The Nelson Sauvin-style hoppiness continues in the taste with the Sauvignon Blanc notes and some mild grassiness lingering, drying. Hints of guava, citrus. Quite a nice juicy IPA with vinous, citrusy notes and just enough dryness.
