On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out toasted malt and fresh leafy hops. Flavour is fresh, with lots of leafy hops and fresh bready and biscuity malt. Fresh and highly drinkable. Impressive for a blonde.

Bottle from the brewery. Golden-amber, thin head. Has a nice, toasty malt character, might be the best malt nose on an S&O beer yet. Sweet, delicious character...the sugars off the rocks are quite apparent. Has just enough hop to balance. Again, the malts are cleaner than usual for this brewery. Good example of the style, and probably the nicest non-smoked lager they’ve made.

650 ml bottle. Pours a clear copper with no head. Aromas of sweat and toasted malts. Flavors of bread crust, acidic malts and dry herbs. Nothing to write home about.

650mL bottle, pours a cloudy dark amber orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out dry toasted caramel, dry bready malt and a hint of residual sweetnsss. Flavour is very much the same, with toasted caramel, bready malt, light berries and a pleasant residual sweetness on the finish. Fairly robust for the style and true to style. Very good.

Amber colour, drops bright. No head. Has a vague kettle sour nose. Tart, but with some wonky yeast stuff. Light fruitiness, ok that’s fine, but the yeastiness on the palate is not a desirable character. Lacks complexity, too. Just not sure what the point is.

650ml bottle at Josh. Aroma and taste are sour, fruity, slightly sweet with roasted malt notes. Not bad.

Growler at Josh. Aroma is slightly smoky, wheat, some spices. Taste is smoky, fruity, smooth. Easy drinkable, refreshing. Good.

Hazy, straw colour, with a medium head. Aroma is coriander-centric , spicy, yeasty, pale malts. Similar palate, lighter body, tons of coriander. the hop character is blown away by the spicing.

Draft - Peppery and light yeast. Cloudy gold with a decent white head. Lots of peppery notes and some nice oriental spice. As described but not to my taste.
