Red, pink head. Lightly musty/earthy nose with tartness, but not overpoweringly sour. Better than expected

Smells of sweet orange zest with dark chocolate hints, has a good muddy brown body with soft fast dissipating foam on top. Flavour is a nice mix of fruit sourness and woody barley. Mouthfeel is full enough. This is not bad, could use some work to get it into the stratosphere.

On tap at Old Abbey Ales, pours a clear pale golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle lacto upfront, without much else. Flavour is along the same lines, with lacto, hoppy bitterness and crisp biscuity malt. Weak, watery and uncoordinated, with a metallic finish. Bad.

On tap at Old Abbey Ales, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of spices, dry hops and toasted bread. Flavour brings out spiced bread, gentle hops and bready malt. What the hell is this supposed to be? Whatever it is, it's not pleasant.

On tap at Old Abbey Ales, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out bright kiwi and floral dry hops upfront, with plenty of lacto underneath. Flavour isn't too bad, with a decent mix of dry hopping, tart kiwi, and lacto. Not integrated overly well, but I can live with it. Okay.

On tap at Old Abbey Ales, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of tea, intense sourness, and vomit. Flavour is no more pleasant, with lots of vomit, sour fruits, and acidity. C'mon, this is nasty.

On tap at Old Abbey Ales, pours a clear bright reddish pink with a small pink head. Aroma brings out lots of dirt, like I'm smelling the soil in which beets were growing in. Flavour is along the same lines, with a bit more beets coming through, but it's like eating soil. Not good.

On tap at Old Abbey Ales, pours a clear faded pink with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of peanut butter and jelly, with less of the lime. Flavour is like a PB&J spread with lots of lime. Pleasant enough but the body is extremely thin. Meh.

On tap at Old Abbey Ales, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out citrus hops and biscuity malt, with not very good cohesion. Flavour is rather clashing, with metallic notes, citrus hops and biscuity malt. Alcoholic, infected with who knows what, and just not constructed properly. Poor.

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 4.5
On tap at Old Abbey Ales, pours a hazy pinkish red with a small off-pink head. Aroma brings out plenty of hibiscus, plenty of earthy, soil-like notes, and some esters. Flavour is uncoordinated, with hibiscus upfront, fruity esters, and nary a trace of proper yeast expression. Just drinkable.
