On tap at Great Raft, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out sweet citrusy gummy candies, tart guava, saline and salt. Flavour is sweet and candied, with light citrus, saline, and sweet gummy candies. What the hell? Why so sweet? This is totally off-point and not very pleasant.

On tap at Great Raft, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out sweet candied watermelon, salt, and tangy citrus. Flavour is less sweet, with plenty of tangy watermelon, salt, and citrus. There's style that candied character, which needs to be gotten rid of. It's alright.

On tap at Great Raft, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out grassy notes, straw and some crunchy, unfermented wort character. Flavour is crisp and bright, with a nice tangy, grassy hop character, with straw and a biscuity malt base. Clean and drinkable, but could use more hops. Solid enough.
