Cloudy orange. Light orange nose. Taste is thin, grassy, light aromatics. It’s a weak beer but nothing off about it. Pretty solid

From bottle to pint glass. Weird metallic and cardboard aroma with some earth. Nice looking enough hazy deep orange with white head that leaves a collar. Cardboard and malt with a dank-like grassy hop background. Lots of oxidation and phenols here. Watery mouthfeel with a dry finish.

Draft. A hazy dark golden beer with a thick beige head. The aroma has strong notes of butter. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of butter, which carries on to the finish. Not good.

Draft. A light golden beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma has notes of malt as well as lighter notes of hops and onions. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, phenol, and plastic - I’m wondering what went wrong here.

From tap at the brewpub. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Butterish and malty aroma. Sweet flavoured, distinct butterish and yet also hops fruity. Ends butterish malty and light bitter, lasting sweet impression.

Bomber from Bottle Trek. Hazy gold color with a one finger white head. Aroma of floral/citrus hop - rather light. Medium+ body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is a little citrus sour over very lightly roasted caramel. Then floral hops bloom. More of a light ESB than an APA. It’s quite delicious. Finish is pretty balanced: a little hint of sweet, but bitter to stave it off.

Bottle Pale light yellow amber with a huge head even after sneeking it down the glass. Dull malty aroma with some traces of the bittering hops. Flavor was plain light malts and some citrusy bittering. Plenty of fizz and lacking in much flavor.

Bottle: Pale yellow pour with a massive white head. Nose is musty and malty, a bit earthy. Tastes initially of apple, into a malty backbone and very little hops. Mild and uninspiring. Thanks Jordan.

Bottle. Golden beer with a big whitish head. Slight citrus aroma. Orange citrus and caramel flavor. Finishes with caramel and lingering light hops. Easy to drink. Medium bodied.
