(473ml can from a friend, I let it get less-than-fresh) Pours nearly clear bright gold with a decent white head and spotty lace. Aroma is crisp pale malts with some cereal and pils-y vibes as you'd expect, grassy and lightly peppery hops, some fresh flowers. Flvaour is very lightly sweet up front and dries out quickly, crisp pale malted cereals with a little biscuit, floral and grassy hops, light peppery accents, minerality especially from mid-sip on, finish is crisp and floral/grassy, no real sulphur accents, clean, fairly low bitterness. Light bodied, average plus carbonation. Not my style but this is a pretty well-brewed example for ON.

(330ml over-waxed bottle from a friend) Pours cola-coloured with a small but very stable tan head and spotty lace. Aroma of tart and jammy raspberries, raspberry vinegar, earthy roasted coffee bean, soft caramel malt sweetness, hints of green pepper. Flavour is lightly to moderately tart, dark bread and soft caramel with cooked raspberries, a little splash of raspberry vinegar, coffee isn't super-prominent early in the sip but builds towards the finish, earthy with drying neutral wood and soft tannins, very mineral and 'crisp' for the style, softly bitter as well from the coffee in the finish, green pepper from the nose thankfully absent. Light-bodied, touch watery for the ABV, with fine and filling bottle-conditioned carbonation.

Can. Murky orange with a 2cm white head. Gentle peachy aroma with some citrus, pineapple & honeydew melon. Much more pineapple upon a taste with somewhat chalky vague pale malt. Not all that sweet with bitterness at the end that takes a little while to grip - but brightens everything when it does. Interesting.

(473ml can from a friend) Pours moderately hazy orange-gold with a thick white head showing retention and lace. Aroma of lemon pith and zest with a little juice, pale melon, steeped tea, dried wildflowers (Earl Grey vibes), soft vanilla. Flavour is quite dry, lemon pith and pulp with a little zest brightness, bergamot, potpourri, minimal herbal tea-like astringency but less than an average hop-forward beer, very delicate pale malt, hints of vanilla towards the dry rather mineral pithy finish, tea and potpourri in the aftertaste. Fairly light bodied, soft creamy carbonation. Quite solid for what it is, and more intreresting than the other light hoppy beers I tried from them due to the adjuncts.

(473ml can from a friend) Pours lightly cloudy straw-gold with a decent white head and spotty lace. Aroma is bright citrus-forward, grapefruit and lemon especially with a little orangey sweetness, touches of herbal catty Citra too, and a little bready malt and cereal grains. Flavour is quite dry and very light, citrus again but focused on grapefruit/lemon peels and a fair helping of pith, light herbal and very light dank accents, white bread and a bit of cereal, very mineral and crisp...finish is dry and lightly pithy bitter with a sparkling water feel to it. Light body and average carbonation. A bit light really even for 4.1%, otherwise decent for what it is.
