This has a dullish cloudy colour. On the nose, there's a bit of orangey notes, sort of muddled, though. There's a sweet orange character. The yeastiness is not as pronounced. Is this really only four days old? Is that why there's this cucumber note?

Hazy, a bit wonky, floral, maybe some off fermentation. Disappointing brew.

Poured from the tap. Clear golden yellow with minimal white head. Mild brett tartness with hint of yeast. Balanced and very drinkable.

It smells like one of those milkshakes you bought at one of those outlets at the Atlanta airport that seems legit enough but it still off somehow, the cream may have gone bad in that summer Georgia heat or the low waged employees simply don't care and didn't clean properly. Has a semi-cloudy orange body and a bit of foam on top though not much. Flavour is soft sweet sugary candy peach with a cream backing. Kind of a soda peaches and cream or peaches and cream from a lollipop that you bought as a kid at the corner store back in 1983. Mouthfeel is full enough it seems. This is drinkable but simplistic and coming off as a little fake.

Smells of soft hops with some floor cleaner hints. Has okay medium orange clear body and some good white foam on top. Flavour is soft maltiness, a bit of sharpness, but all kind of boring. Mouthfeel is full enough with some crispness. This is decent, drinkable, though simple.

47,3 cl can @ Timo A’s Go Nucks! tasting Aroma is sweet with tropical fruits, grapefruit and pineapples. Flavour has grapefruit, tropical fruits, some pineapple juice and mild grassy notes. Refreshing, nice and enjoyable.

Can. Cloudy yellow. Frothy head. Aroma is both piney and tropical pineapple/guava notes. Light bitterness, mellow pale malts. Cascade piney-chewy accent is strong, with some lighter pineapple and lychee sort of notes from the other hops. Good balance - cascade maybe an odd choice as something like Columbus is more of a proven pairing between c-hop and modern hop. But it still works.

On tap at Powell, pours a clear golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out crisp piney hops, seltzery notes, and crisp crackery malt. Flavour is crisp and dry, with crisp crackery malt, straw, and light vegetal notes. Crisp and drinkable despite the aforementioned flaws. Meh.

Brown, no head. Vomitous butyric aroma. Oh boy. On the palate, same thing, I mean light berry but it's picked up too much of this. And on top of that, dark sour, which is a clash of why.
