Beer Baroness Quality Time
440ml can. Pours an very deep red/brown with a minor tan head. This won a sliver at the Brewers Guild Awards & was awarded at the Stout Challenge so some form. Aroma is dark roasted malts with some warmth & nuttiness. Beer is medium bodied and opens with sweet malty notes with a solid depth. A bit of hop bitterness but it is well integrated & I struggle to pick up many individual flavours. ABV is well hidden too. Nice Porter with a good depth of flavour.

Beer Baroness / Spotty Dog Flipside
Can. Almost clear pale golden amber with a modest white head. Soft tropical fruit aroma with lychees, Asian pineapple, some mango, peach, light bread, hints of citrus. But there's more of a lime and more vibrant tropical note in the taste. Still swelling with fruit rather than bursting with it though, and it's nicely done. Soft peach and bread. Dry finish emphasizes the moderate bitterness. Good.

Beer Baroness Lady Danger
440ml can. Pours a gorgeous deep chestnut brown with a nice tan head. Stunning looking beer! Aroma is mild with mainly medium red malts. Beer is smooth, mildly sweet with rich, medium roast malts & as per, a healthy dose of hops. Rich & long flavours with mild bitterness so you are left with flavour not just drying bitterness. Great beer.

Beer Baroness Sunshine & Spaceships
A pretty delightful hazy IPA and one of the strongest I've had from Beer Baroness. Pours murky orange with a dense grapefruit aroma. Grapefruit and pine dominate the flavor. Thick mouthfeel. Tried with Mackenzie in NZ in 2022.

Beer Baroness The Equaliser
Bottle 330ml. Pours a slightly hazy pale gold with a weak, quickly fading head. Aroma is fruity pineapple amongst farmyard grass - unusual. Light body, almost watery with that same fruity & farmy flavours on a light malt & bitterness level. Easy to drink with the rapidly fading carbonation but the flavours just seem to clash. 5.2% ABV. A oncer for me.

Beer Baroness / Heyday Hey Mama
Tropical aroma in a hazy golden pour. Hop forward balance with a fruity body and laid back bitter finish. A hint of cut grass (a common issue with fresh hop beers in my experience) spoils an otherwise tasty brew. Their (Heyday) "Cadet" is a much better bet.

On tap – part of a tasting paddle at Fork and Tap in Arrowtown on 12 November 2018. This was my first beer form this brewery and I was impressed. Vibrant golden colour with a clean white head. Lots of citrus in both the aroma and the flavour and finishes sweetly – reminded me of marmalade jam.
