Pours a nice copper from a tap. Malty aroma overrun by diacetyl, flavor is primarily fake butter but ends with a fine grainy bitterness. Okay beer, wish it wasn’t such a diacetyl bomb.

Tap at brewery. Hazy gold. Aroma is grapefruit, coriander, urinal cake. Taste is very similar. Wheaty with some grapefruit with a hint of urinal cake (probably the coriander... I hope).

Tap at the brewery. Pours dark brown - not quite black. Aroma is roasted malt, not quite chocolate or coffee. Flavor is roasted malt, light coffee. Dry, not getting the vanilla. Average porter, very drinkable, but unmemorable (and I had multiple).

Pours intensely hazy with a thick white head. Aroma of fruit with a slight malt influence. Taste is like a fairly plain ale, subtle tropical notes on the tongue. Palate includes pineapple, orange, light hops and grapefruit. Good, fruit influences just a slightly more muted than I'd expect.
