Draught at Mikkeller & Friends. Hazy golden coloured with a medium sized white head. Fruity aroma of barnyard, hops, grass and brett. Fruity flavour of Barnyard, grass, hops and brett. Hoppy finish.

Draught at Mikkeller&Friends. Clear yellow - white head. Nice hoppy. Resin notes. Fruity. Spicy. Toasted. Grassy. Citrus. Light lemon notes. Grape fruits. Light funky/farmhouse notes. Light sulphor. Ok bitterness. Zesty. Gunpowser. N ice crispy. Lovely.

Aroma of citrus and floral notes. Pours a cloudy apple cider color with a long lasting tan head and abuntent lacing. The taste is white fruit and citrus with a bitter finish. Medium body with medium carbonation. Overall, a very enjoyable IPA.

Bottle from Mane Liquor. Unusual beer this one. Very farmhous driven yet hoppy as well. Huge unmistakeable notes of lemon rind throughout the beer. Very bready on the nose. Sweet bread though, like brioche - sweet and buttery. Chardonnay like. pine driven hops force their way in there as well. Bread comes through in the taste but the real winner here is lemon. Like lemon cake with lemon rind as a decorator on top. Wouldn’t surprise me if Sorachi Ace has been used. Chewy and spritzy carbonation. Very unique and summer driven stuff

Bottle. Just hazy gold with a large white head. Aroma is bready with moderate funk, grapefruit flesh, lemon zest, coriander, flowers. Taste has sweet grain, sourish bread dough, lemony funk, spicy bitterness. Spices linger. Again, a really interesting beer and one where they’ve clearly done what they set out to do. The balance between the disparate elements is impressive. But why they are all brought together is a lot less clear. Like an overture fight in the orchestra pit: very intriguing but the curtain stays down.

(3/2012) .75 bottle. Amber hazy. This was a pretty good ale. Belgian yeast, some funk. Choriander seeds. A bit of darkish bready malts.

On tap at Churchkey during CBC week. Pours a hazy burnt orange with some spitty, white head. Nose of wood, rotten apples, stale malt, orange. Flavor of stale malt, light wood, dried orange. Nasty. Sweet finish.

Aroma is very floral, noble hop aroma with some rye. Taste is rye tang with some bitterness up front, hop flavor and some farmhouse funk and spice. This one is extremely well balanced, probably the best rye beer I’ve had.

22 ounce bottle. Pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma of citrus, florals, yeast, and spice. Taste is similar with a hint of pine. Nice.

Tap at Churchkey for CBC thanks to nimbleprop and nmann08. Listed as "Wild Wytchmaker". Low haze, deeper orange pour. Medium foam. Nose is sticky oranges, celery, strawberry candy. Taste is tart strawberry, minerally, minty. Lighter, aerated body.
