On tap at Red Truck, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out considerable piney hops, some resin and a touch of crackery malt. Flavour is bone dry and quite a bit different, with super dry piney hops, some chalky notes, and bready malt. Not a hint of sweetness. Good thirst quencher for the hot days, but it's not especially interesting. Okay.

Aroma has sourdough hints. Drank from the can so I didn’t see much but it had no frothiness that I could see. Flavour is weak lager notes with nothing to distinguish it. Weaker on the mouth than other lagers I’ve tried. It’s just slightly below adequate.

Okay semi-solid head and a heavily carbonated with a foggy body. Nice aroma of citrus balanced by hops. Flavour is soft nuttiness behind lemon and a dry hoppy finish. I like this one.

On cask at Craft Beer Market, pours a cloudy golden blonde with a medium white head. Aroma brings out raspberries and apricots upfront in good harmony. Flavour isn't as invigorating - it has the apricots and raspberries but also harsh bitterness. Much more interesting than the regular ISA, but it's much harsher as well. Meh.

On tap at Red Truck, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out dry bready malt. Flavour is bland, with dry bready malt and not really any hop content. Doesn't strike me as a pilsner, just some bland lager of some sort. Not very interesting.

On tap at Red Truck, pours a war pale blonde with a medium white head. Aroma brings out lots of Belgian yeast upfront, with some residual sweetness. Flavour is very sweet, with undesirable residual cloying sweetness that ends up dominating this. Blondes are typically subtle and clean, but this is anything but. As with their tripel, the sweetness is way too much. Not good.

650mL bottle, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out light Belgian yeast, a little candied sugar, and a little hay. Flavour is along the same lines with Belgian yeast and a touch of sweet cereal malt. Simple but well-balanced. Decent stuff.

Poured from the tap. Clear golden yellow with minimal white head. Clean, simple, a bit of skunk aroma, some cereal malt on the taste. Okay...for a lager.
