On tap at R & B. Pours clear copper with a white head. Dry bready malts on the nose. Flavour has stale bread and an attenuated malty finish; a bit seltzery. Not very well done.

On tap at R & B. Pours murky blonde with a white head. Orange peels and cleaner on the nose. Flavour has dry old citrus peels, dead grass, and lingering chemical bitterness that's quite unpleasant. Very poor, probably has a diacetyl infection.

Can pour at East Side Beer Fest. Pours opaque yellow with a white head. Dry citrus, juicy blood orange, grass, and hop burn on the nose. Flavour has blood orange, dry grass, a bit tired. Meh.

On tap at R&B, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma reveals a reasonable marriage between Belgian yeast and citrusy hops, maybe a bit too much estery character. Flavour is ester, with sweet candi sugar, citrusy hops, and sweet maltiness. Too much of the estery stuff, not enough hops. It’s alright.

On nitro tap at R&B, pours black with a small brown head. Nose has some roasted malt upfront—more than usual for the style—with light coffee undertones. Flavour is on point for the style, with dry roastiness coating the palate, finishing quite bitter. Much more body and flavour than average for the style. Solid stuff.

On tap at R&B, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma has a touch of mint and lavender, but with subdued citrusy hops. Flavour is floral and bitter, with plenty of mint and general floral notes upfront, accompanied by pronounced citrusy bitterness. Definitely some hops in here but I’m unsure of the harmony with the adjuncts. Odd but not bad.

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 5.5 | Flavor - 5.5 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6
On tap at R&B, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma has some gritty grains, a touch of hopburn, and some earthiness. Flavour is fairly timid—no hopburn, but barely any hops, maybe some floral notes, and soft biscuity notes. Not much going on here. Inoffensive but uninteresting.

On tap at R&B, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma has some bitter, floral dry-hopping upfront, with straw, and gentle crackery malt. Flavour is clean and bright, with floral hops, straw, and crisp crackery malt. Slightly more interesting than the average kolsch. Solid.
