Lemon and light florals. Slightly hazy golden pour with ok head. Good balance. Tangy citrus finish, but not in a bad way. Can.

473ml can. Pours a cloudy gold orange with a large, frothy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves soapy curtains of lace. Mild fruity aroma of bready pale malt, orange, peach, red apple and herbal hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready pale malt, tangerine, cantaloupe, pineapple and black tea in a dry, mild bitter finish. Medium body with a smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Tasty and easy to drink.

473ml can. Pours a hazy blonde with yeast particles that sink to the bottom and a small, foamy, short lived, white head that laces. Mild aroma of grainy wheat malt, coriander, orange peel and floral hops. Sweet flavour of grainy wheat malt, orange juice, earthy yeast and floral hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a thin, watery texture and average carbonation. Light and crushable, but a little disappointing. Should be called The Small Orange Beer.

Sweet flavour of toasted caramel malt, grapefruit, raisin and leafy green hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a watery to oily texture and average carbonation. Malt forward, not bad.

Quite pale, opaque, but vibrant. Medium head. Looks great. Clean malts, maybe oats even? The hops are mild and fruity - light berry and orchard fruit. Medium bitterness. Honestly, the hop character isn’t exceptional by any means but this is executed at a pretty high level, better than anything I’ve had from Torchlight since that CDA they dropped when they first opened. Good to see.

Dull pale amber-brown with a thin head. Sweet, malts are simple, just straight sweet, so a bit unbalanced.

Dullish and hazy, not much head. Light bitterness and the hop character is lychee, tangerine sort of thing. Pleasant but the malts are definitely holding it back.

Hazy and dull. Lots of coffee characer and some pale malt sweetness. Decent balance, but this is not my favourite beer concept.

Medium foggy gold body with some visible carbonation and modest foam. Nice aroma of tangerine and pine, soft lemon zest. Taste is chewy pine, soft grain, ending full but a little muddy. Alcohol invisible, it's still pretty good.

Nicely carbonated medium clear gold and minimal foam. Sweet coffee on the nose, vague hops. Taste is honeyed coffee, soft sweet grain. Finishes smooth. Easy and enjoyable.
