this place really gives microbreweries a bad name if it could still be called one. chewy banana bread with vanilla essence and toilet cleaner

disgusting combination of super-sweet caramel/biscuit malt, grapefruity hops, and banana esters - bleaugh! revolting

Well it has some kick. A little too sour and not a great palate. Not my first choice.

Amber in colour, big white head, hoppy aroma, mild bitter taste with caramel hints. Certainly an Autum drink. Good seasonal from Mac's.

This started with little initial nose on the pour but the hop presence comes through in the taste. The colour is a pleasant deep amber that is true to the taste of Munich, Crystal malt and toffee. The mouthfeel belies the 5% ABV and like Copperhop it finsihes dry on the back palate. Good lacing in the glass.
