On tap at Callister, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Nose brings out bready malt and a touch of sweetness, with decent expression from the lager yeast. Flavour is much the same, with a gentle lingering sweetness. Bready, sweet cereal malt finish. Solid.

Very nice cloudy yellow body and good foam, soft pithy hops on the nose with vague pine notes, slight grain spice. Flavour is chewy hops, hints of licorice, tarragon, juniper. Nice oiliness. Slight herbal notes are working well here, good mouthfeel, well done.

Okay coppery orange body and little foam, soft orange on the nose with hints of watery caramel. Flavour is mellow orange zest, vague biscuit, slight bitter notes yet all too watery. Some really nice elements here but it's buried underwater and hard to appreciate.

Mellow gold body and little foam, good sweet strawberry on the nose leading toward fake. Flavour is nice fake strawberry and peach, no sugar too excessive, good carbonation. Nothing too exciting here but it delivers what's advertised.
