Tasting at Matt’s, can
Cloudy blond color. The aroma is delicate, bready, light cheese. Smooth, biscuity malt base, mild juicy character, a bit too much yeast and hence astringent final.
Ok.

I tried to pour aggressively and still no head. Cloudy and dull light amber. Tart, with a bit of cranberry. Bit yeasty, too, but overall it’s not bad.

Hazy, tan. The aroma is lupulin powder, with orangey notes, some yeastiness, and it’s pretty good overall. Some biscuity malt character. Fits the style, at least the me-too versions thereof.

Flavour is along the same lines, with lightly dank, citrusy, herbal hops, some resins and biscuity malt. Lighty dank, with a decent punch. Fairly timid for the style, but nice.
