473mL can, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma is gently sweet, with plenty of subtle raspberry character. Flavour is seltzery, with subtle sweetness and raspberry flavouring. Useless product, but it's drinkable.

Poured from 473mL can. Near clear pale yellow with almost no white head. Watery orange citrus with a hint of ginger. Basically flavoured water.

Pale clear yellow with a small white head. Lots of lemon and a light ginger notes. Ginger dominates with a touch of lemon.

473mL can, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Nose is pretty spritzy, with sweet citrus peel and maybe a hint of ginger. Flavour is drier than expected, with lots of seltzery notes, gentle sweet citrus and a tiny hint of ginger. Not much to this, but it's drinkable I guess. Pretty useless product.

473mL can, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma reveals lots of yogurty notes, gentle floral dry hopping, and a very subdued passionfruit character. Flavour is fairly fruity, with lots of citrus and passionfruit upfront, tempered by floral hopping, and low-to-medium lacto. Rather muted and yogurty. I wish the passionfruit was more vibrant. Okay.

On tap at Darby's, pours a cloudy blonde with a small white head. Nose is herbal, with a vegetal hop character and chalk. Flavour is chaotic and harsh, with herbal and vegetal notes, chalk, and earthy hops. Harsh, bitter, chalky finish. This is a train wreck.

Pale, cloudy, not a whole lot of head. On the nose, some bright fruit, and a little bit of pineyness. It's got a bit of bitterness, but is also fairly grassy - these are nice IPA hops, but not if you use too much of them. Well, you can do that with Columbus. So it ends up being ok, because the hop character needs work.

Draught at the brewery
Pale blond, cloudy. It has a decent aroma of classic PNW hops, and I can be ok with the very dry mouthfeel; but it's also so weak that I wonder how they jump on the IPA train with a regular Blonde Ale, and it has quite some harsh character, vegetable.
Meh.

Draught at the brewery
Cloudy blond colour. Moderate aroma of citrus hops. The mouthfeel is dry, a bit chalky; good citrusy hops, but bordeline vegetable, with correct bitterness for the style.
Ok beer, mostly a modern Blond Ale, rather than an IPA.
