Just a slight haze so dull colour. Thin head. Some fruitiness, ok, not much bitterness. Overall muted.

Dark amber-brown. Soft body, caramel, moderate bitterness. The alcohol shows here, which is about right for 5.8% cask. Otherwise light body.

Golden, bright. Thin head. Some earthy hops, mellow bitterness, just a faint hint of bugs… they haven’t kicked in yet.

330mL can, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle chardonnay barrels, with light bugs and a hint of funk -- but not like a lambic. Flavour is nicely buggy, with white wine barrels, oak, plenty of bugs, a hint of champagne-like effervescence. Nothing close to a lambic whatsoever, but the wild yeast and chardonnay barrels are used quite well. Nothing extraordinarily, but pleasant and drinkable.

Clear medium gold body and modest foam. Soft tangy pine aroma, good dank hops. Taste is okay juicy hops, tangy, sweetness stays awhile. A little thin, and as far as juicy IPA's go it's kind of characterless.

Okay clear gold body and essentially no foam. Nice tart funk on the nose, good wood, nothing else though. Taste is good funky grain, a hint of sour honey, ending smooth with okay carbonation. I wouldn't say Lambic, but it's still got a good funky sour vibe.

On tap at The Magnet, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out plenty of coffee upfront, with light sweetness and a touch of cocoa. Flavour brings out an earthy, fruity coffee character, with British bready malt, and some red fruits. I like the bready malt character; the coffee is somewhat underwhelming. Clean and competently made, but pretty lacklustre and uninteresting.

Cloudy light gold body and okay foam. Very vague wheat grain notes, all too weak really. Taste is smooth honeyed grain with an armpit aftertaste, ending smooth. No wheat character really, a pretty modest effort.

Deep clear red body and okay foam. Bright blueberry on the nose with lemongrass showing up well. Taste is lemony blueberry, nicely fresh and not too sweet. Smooth finish. Working reasonably well.

Cloudy yellow body and good chewy foam. Soft wheat and bubble gum aroma, vague thrift store starch. Taste is mellow banana, ending smooth at least. Characterless but will get the job done.
