On tap at Powell Street, pours a cloudy pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out biting grassy hops, light spiciness and a crispy crackery malt backing. Flavour is bright and refreshing, with similar spicy grassy notes upfront, with a dry crisp crackery malt backbone. Flavourful and well-balanced. A great thirst-quenching pils.

Draft - Light tartness and grains. Cloudy gold with a decent white head. Tart malts and some apple and plum notes. There is a dullness and the dry hopping just doesn’t come through.

On tap at Powell Street, pours a clear bright orange with a medium white head. Nose is a bit odd, with vegetal notes, light citrus hops, and dry biscuity malt - not getting any sourness on the nose. Flavour however is certainly puckering, with medium acidity, tart peach-like fruitiness and bone dry light hoppiness. Not the most cohesive beer - don't think they got the dry-hopping right, though I don't know what the base beer is like on its own. Needs some work.

On cask at 12 Kings, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma is very fruity, featuring young brett and loads of ripe fruits. Flavour is fruity and bitter, with young brett notes featuring only a touch of funk, medium-high astringency, and a floral finish. Much more interesting than the base beer, though an older brett characteristic would improve this.

Hazy amber. Hops, some nice Meyer lemon nose, clementines, chewy pale malt richness, and a touch of alcohol. Sweet, quite so, with pale malt chewiness, and a lemon/blood orange character.

Slight haze. Amber. Barrel nose, light toast. Has a mellow tartness, clean lacto, with crisp apples, ok not bringing much in terms of complexity.

On tap at Powell Street, pours a clear pale golden with a medium white head. Aroma is extremely mild, with subtle hints of citrus and crackery malt. Flavour is light and smooth, with notes of floral and citrus hops, balanced by ever so slightly sweetened cracker malt. Not a whole lot to this, but it drinks nicely. Decent.
