On tap at Culmination, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out chalky notes, light citrus zest and biscuity malt. Flavour is muddled and chalky, with citrus zest, biscuity malt, and some light dankness. Poor hop expression. Billed as a west coast, but it seems like another shitty muddled hazy. Not great.

On tap at Culmination, pours an opaque muddled pinkish amber with a small off-white head. Aroma is full of yogurty notes, with raspberries, blueberries, and rhubarb. Flavour is earthy and muddled, with lots of soil — is that the rhubarb? — with lacto and subdued berries. Pretty useless beer here. Crappy kettle sour, with poor fruit expression.

Tall can from Winerack at home. Hazy dull yellow pour with dissipating head. Aroma is juicy but herbaceous. Taste is bitter and citric but not juicy. Unusual but good!
