Bronze sort of colour with chill haze. Medium head. Rich bitterness, malts have a biscuity note but are otherwise on the sticky side and there'�s a fair bit of alcohol kicking into the finish.

Dark brown, thick head. Soft molasses note, touch of vanilla but also the malts carry a bit of a harsh bitterness. Some good richness but other structure and execution aren'�t great.

Poured from 473mL can. Clear yellow gold with white head. Juniper forward, feint orange peel, underlying bitter hopping in the finish. Decent.

Slight haze, bitter hop, lots of allium, the citra is big here. It's overwhelming. But the malt isn't half bad, so it sort of works...and this with a different hop blend would hit pretty well for me.

Poured from 473mL can. Hazy gold with small white head. Biscuit malt, subdued herbal citrus and pine hops, fairly lame.

473mL can, pours a clear dull copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out spicy sprucy woody hops, biscuity malt, and a touch of dankness. Flavour has a strange herbal hop character, with a touch of sprucy woody hop character, some herbal notes, and bready malt. There's a touch of vegetal character and some very gentle onion notes on the finish. It's alright.

On tap at The Barley Merchant, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma is herbal, with grassiness and straw. Flavour is fairly bitter, with grassy hops, plenty of bitterness, and straw. Not the most vibrant but seems more or less indistinguishable from regular Stolen Bike, which isn't an exciting beer even for the style. It's alright—clean at least.

Poured from 473mL can. Clear yellow gold with white head. Has that typical rice lager backing (never been a fan), with mild tropical hops and a hint of pine on the finish. Average.

Poured from the tap. Opaque blonde with minimal to no white head. Coconut and papaya forward with a touch of vanilla and feint pineapple. Okay.
