On tap at The Arsenal, pours a cloudy blonde with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with floral, dank hops upfront, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is quite pleasing, with fresh floral hops, some gentle tropical fruitiness, and a toasted biscuity malt base. Lovely hops here. So much more interesting than almost every blonde out there. Very good.

Poured at Shelton Festival, hazy yellow with small frothy white head that lasts. The aroma is floral and tropical fruit. Medium body, mango, melon, nice bitterness, juicy, very good.

Shelton Brothers pour. Tropical fruit nose with mango and pineapple shining with a touch of citrus. Grassy on the palate with some lemon, a touch of grain. Clean finish with a touch of bitterness. A fun new-world kolsch.

On tap at Bluejacket. Not feeling the love that’s been dished out for this. Lacking the crisp bite and frothy, lively nature of the original. Soft, grainy aroma and taste, dry finish, but could use a little "pop".
