Hazy amber pour, with a large white head. Lovely pine resin hops, hints of c hop soap notes, apricot, and candied grapefruit zest.. Nice mouth feel, soft yet lively carb. Finish is a touch toasty, there are some toasty cereals notes with some toffee, and intertwined is some lovely resinous hop notes. Reminds me of old school tankhouse ale from mill street 20 years ago.

Hazy yellow pour, with a medium white head. Aroma smacks of fake cherry flavouring, with an earthy lime note, and the sour base is lost in this mess. mouth feel and carb are ok. Finish is lightly tart, and lightly bitter. More of this off cherry flavour, that my taste buds can't shake, and earthy, musty lime. This was rough.
