The aroma of this Porter is intense; fruity, coffee and chocolatey 😛. Mouth feel is surprisingly less than you would expect, medium to thin - the beer is dry and finishes slightly acidic. It sips like an imperial, however at 4.9% it’s a ways off. I can’t decipher the hops but I would suspect British hedgerow. My can was overly carbonated and took a while to pour - not my first time drinking this beer and I actually have it as a recipe to make myself. I think on cask this will be a stonking good ale.

Hazy Pale, super soft and stony fruits make this a classic of the style. At 5.0% it’s a decent session beer and completely in offensive. Chinook on the nose but once the bitterness dissipates the coconut flavours from the Talus bounce onto the pallet and linger. Would be good beer to accompany an Hawaiian pizza - enjoy !

A basic Pilsner, but that is no bad thing. On the nose is smells like what it is, like dipping your nose into a bag of Pilsner malt. Tettnang and Hallertau Blanc, so best suited to the lower end of bitterness for this beer style. As a Saaz fan for this style - I still found this decent. 4.5% ABV - it’s at the mid point and offers a decent body which does thin out to the expected dryness - it is a lager after all. Decent enough - would buy from the tap - but I wouldn’t session on it if I am honest.

Not a fan. I appreciate these beers are unfiltered and unpasteurised, but there should be a limited as to how much crap you get in a pour. Maybe I got the end of the canning run / keg. 6.5% - decent balance on bitterness but not enough coming to the party for me. Classic Westie vibes, decent bitterness but nothing lasting on the palate. It’s decent, just not stunning.

A decent pale; fruity with a good mouthfeel (possibly thanks to the oats). 4.5% - Tropical Fruits. Decent bitterness - not quite West Coast but more pronounced than East. Fairly soft water profile.

Decent sour with no adjuncts. Has a sweet peach flavour that then kicks into sharp passion fruit sour

4.2.24 Pours a deep black colour with a dissipating tan head. Chocolate flavour with a hint of plum. Nice.

Aroma of fresh light fruits of Melon and lychee feel with partial sweet lemon. The taste gives big stone fruit of mango and lychee mainly. The body is medium to full with great light carbonation to match that. Has a hint of a dry finish similar to nelson but not as pronounced as those styles and a feeling of sherbet lemons into the bittering finish

Very hoppy and lime zest notes on the aroma. The taste has a juicy orange, lime zest again and hint of peach. Has a generous hoppy bitterness back end and a great mouthfeel

An enjoyable Pale Ale. Juicy with tropical fruit aroma and flavour. Nice refreshing beer.
