650 ml bottle. Gusher. Minus points - brewers of ready to drink beers should be able to prevent this...Pours a very cloudy amber with full head. Aromas of bananas, fruit esters leaning towards overripe fruit, and doughy malts. Flavors of earthy fruit esters, old apples, bandaids and more doughty malts. A bit of mess and amateur, though not overly offensive.

On tap at the brewery. Aroma is a good mix of grain and hops. Has a nice semi-clear light gold body and a bit of foam on top. Flavour is sugary malts and chunky sweet hops. Mouthfeel is okay but the heavy sweetness is everywhere. It's an okay IPA but a bit too overbearing in sweetness for me.

Smells of mellow lager crispness. Has a nice clear yellow body and a bit of foam. Flavour is subtle rye grain and plenty of hoppy citrus. Mouthfeel is medium and okay, clean at least. A decent drinker though not spectacular.

Smells of muddy juice or something, kind of fermented, not right. Has a nice cloudy yellow and decent foam on top. Flavour is good wheat dough with soft hints of citrus. Mouthfeel is medium with a bit of an odd aftertaste that could be cleaner. It's decent but missing blonde character.

Has a nice textbook mix of hops and malts on the nose. There's good off-white foam and a mostly clear brown-orange body. Flavour is good malts and hops, nice balance and clean at least. Medium mouthfeel, good. It's nothing out of the ordinary but very drinkable and the abv is well hidden, so be careful.

Smells of nice juicy grapes or something, has a good pink head and dark pink body. Flavour is nice juicy vegetable but lacking depth. Medium finish, good juicy mouthfeel. It's a nice attempt at a juicy beer.

Has a nice soft coffee aroma, body is mellow orange with a bit of yellow. Flavour is medium herb with a little vegetable and matcha. Dry finish. It's an okay attempt but needs more of everything.

On tap at the brewery. The aroma is some wonky mess that reminds me of rotting shellfish. It seems way off but it's coming straight from thr source! Has an okay yellow and a bit of foam. Flavour is awkward sourness and that's it. Watery on the mouth. I have no idea what they were trying to do here, assumably modify their Die Hard beer, but this just comes off as a huge mess.
