On nitro tap at Smith & Lentz, pours a hazy golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out biscuity malt and subdued floral hops. Flavour is along the same lines, with light citrus and floral hops, and a soft bready malt base. Reasonably constructed, but nothing special. Meh.

On tap at Smith & Lentz, pours a deep dark reddish brown with a small off-white head. Aroma and flavour bring out toasted nuts, toasted malt and some light bready sweetness. Light-bodied and true enough to style. Decent beer.

On tap at Smith & Lentz, pours an opaque bright pink with a small pink head. Aroma brings out lots of fresh tart blueberries, along with wheaty notes. Flavour is very juicy, with loads of blueberries, and a wheaty body. Low tartness and sweetness, but quite juicy. Nice blueberry beer.

On tap at Smith & Lentz, pours a clear amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out dry resinous hops, biscuity malt and maybe a hint of butter.

On tap at Smith & Lentz, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out dry biscuity malt and crisp crackery malt. Flavour is quite dry and herbal in the hop department, with crisp biscuity malt. Not very interesting and quite boring really.
