Poured from the tap. Clear blonde gold with minimal white head. Grain and corn malt with very feint floral hops. Pretty lacklustre.

Hazy, and quite pale. Thin head. Smells like there's not much, just husks, but there's some citra-ish grassy green onion hops as well. On the palate, the hop character explodes, much more complex lychee, grapefruit and limonene terps, stone fruit... lots of things going on. The malt is definitely thin, but has a bit more to it than the aroma hinted. Solid.

Poured from the tap (as Rogue Kitchen & Wetbar House Hazy Pale Ale, but confirmed brewed by V.I.B.). Hazy blonde with small white head. Light and citrusy with a touch of pith, feint honey in the background. Okay.

Poured from the tap (as Rogue Kitchen & Wetbar House IPA brewed by V.I.B., but asked and they said it was this one so didn’t bother making a new rating). Lightly hazed gold with small white head. Biscuit malt, pine, grapefruit, and floral hops. Decent.

Can from MrBarleywine,thanks for the hookup! Pours a hazy pale yellow color with a decent sized bubbly white head that slowly dissipates. Lemony earthy with crackery bready maltiness. Bits of mint and spice. Not bad but not very exciting either.

473ml can. Pours a hazy orange gold with a medium, foamy, short lived, off-white head that leaves curtains of lace. Sweet fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, tangerine, light pineapple and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, tangerine, mango, pineapple and floral hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Pineapple is pretty mild, but it's juicy, refreshing and easy to drink.
