On tap at Old Abbey Ales, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings it lots of esters, with some improperly fermented yeast, candied sugar, and obscured hops somewhere underneath. Flavour is rather unpleasant, with perfumey notes, alcohol, and metallic notes. Holy shit is this terrible. Undrinkable.

Has an aroma of soft sweet hops with some rye grain, mellow brown-gold body with no head. Flavour is good hops with some mellow soft rye on the back end. Mouthfeel has nice crispness, reasonably full. This is not too spectacular but reasonably drinkable.

Smells of mellow grains mixed with sweet fruit juice. Has a nice foggy gold body with some soft white head. Flavour is nice citrus, soft juice with a hint of grain. Mouthfeel has good fullness along with some sweetness to keep it interesting. This is a good gose though could use more salt.

The aroma is of sweet coffee with roasted barley, has very black body and only a ring of light beige foam on top. Flavour is very sweet black coffee with some baker's chocolate. Mouthfeel is full enough with some carbonated crispness. The alcohol is very well hidden but other than that it's quite simple and also rather sweet.

Smells of some vegetably hops, earthy grain notes, possibly some asparagus in there. Has good white foam, a nice cloudy lighter gold body. Flavour is heavy and strong vegetable hops with candy notes and vague light grain. Mouthfeel is full enough, some dry grain on the back end with crispness in there, but also a very boozy aftertaste that does no one any good. It's juicy though a little too heavy for what it is.

The aroma is soft citrus with sweet hibiscus, has a good murky brown body with a hint of pink and modest head on top. Flavour is an awkward mix of hibiscus, fruit sourness, and malt. Mouthfeel is full enough. Unbalanced.

Smells of nice earthy hops and malt notes, some mandarin orange accents in there. Has good white foam, mellow gold and orange body with visible carbonation. Flavour is soft orangey hops, good malt notes, though not too strong. Good mouthfeel crispness, nice fullness. This is a good hoppy and orangey pale ale.

Has a good lemony aroma with hints of early grey tea, a nice cloudy yellow body with a bit of white foam. Flavour is nice lemony sweetness with a bit of grain. Has good fullness on the mouth, some carbonation crispness. This is a decent gose but needs more salt.

Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 3 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7
Smells of floral hops maybe, but mostly nothing. Has a cloudy yellow body with minimal head. Flavour is nice heavy breadiness, bone dry, certainly different for a lager. Very sharp mouthfeel. This is a unique lager, memorable at least, which is more than I can say for most.

Has a musky smells with soft beets in there, a clear dark pink body with no head. Flavour is nice beets tempered by citrus sweetness. Mouthfeel is full and crisp, this is very nice and drinkable if you're into the beet taste.
