On tap at Halo, pours an opaque dark amber orange with a small white head. Aroma is quite dank and weedy, with intense pot-like hops. Flavour is along the same lines, with dank hops, resins, and maybe a hint of the grape must. Fruity and resinous. This is lovely.

On tap at Halo, pours a deep dark pink with a small pink head. Aroma brings out intense lacto upfront, with lots of jammy currant and subdued citrus hops. Flavour is extremely jammy, with lots of tart currant, lacto, and gentle hops buried. Total fruit bomb with lots of tartness. Fun stuff.
Update. I'm going to bump this guy up. Can from the brewery. It's a lot more subtle than my earlier reviews suggests. There a real mild berry flavour underlying this, an acidic bite, a touch of honey and soft malt. Drink this as a stand alone. September 2019 - 3.5 - On tap at The Alpine in the Junction. Tart strawberry that is fairly balanced. Mildly honey touches. Decent.
