Turbid golden white color. Nice citrus and mangoes notes. Fairly juicy, modestly dank. But not a ton of depth. Slightly drier than I want. It’s nice, but not outstanding.

Pale golden color. Lovely full on grassy hoppy nose with bready malt notes. Fairly clean and dry, modestly bitter with herbal and grassy notes.. lingering bitterness A decent take on a Franconia Pilsner, but is half a step away from being amazing

On tap at Inu Island, pours a cloudy opaque muddled peachy pink with a small white head. Aroma has some slightly rotting guava notes upfront, with subdued raspberry skins, and plenty of lacto. Flavour is juicy, with plenty of guava and raspberry, with a lacto base. The fruit combo works well, and the lacto isn't too yogurty. For a kettle sour, this is decent.

On tap at Inu Island, pours like mango juice with a small white head. Aroma is full of tropical fruit juice and a touch of lacto. Flavour is like drinking mango and guava juice, with a touch of lacto. Fruity, juicy, but simple and unspectacular.

On tap at Inu Island, pours a mostly clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is full of bright piney hops, light citrus, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour has a bright, piney and floral hop character, with gentle dankness, and a crisp biscuity malt base. Pleasant hop expression and nicely structured.
