Jenlain Ambrée

Jenlain hits you with this deep amber honey note right away, then settles into something almost spicy—clove, maybe nutmeg—that comes from the yeast doing its thing. There's a subtle caramel sweetness underneath that doesn't feel cloying, just substantial. It's the kind of beer where you notice the texture; it coats your mouth in a way that makes you slow down and actually pay attention.

Kelpie Seaweed Ale

Kelpie is disarming because it smells like the ocean mixed with herbs you can't quite name—that's the actual seaweed doing the work. The taste is briny and mineral with a green, almost vegetal quality that should be off-putting but somehow isn't. It's dry and crisp underneath all that strangeness, which keeps it from feeling heavy despite the concept. You'll either find it genuinely innovative or genuinely weird, and honestly, both reactions are valid.
