4.6/10 Appearance 7 Aroma 5 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 4
On tap at Faculty, pours a clear amber with a small white head. Aroma is restrained, with toasted bready malt and a hint of hoppy bitterness. Flavour is off, with toasted bready malt that collides with a harsh hop character in a very awkward way. Dry, lightly bitter, unbalanced; just very clumsy and incompetent. Not a good red ale.

On tap at Faculty, pours a hazy golden with a tiny white head. Aroma has… turmeric, unsurprisingly, with a relatively neutral base. Flavour has gently spicy turmeric with absolutely nothing else. Finished dry, lightly spicy, dominated by the turmeric. It’s clean for what it is, but how this become a mainstay of theirs, I’ll never understand. Pointless, unappetizing creation, unless you somehow adore turmeric and want to drink it.

5oz pour at brewery. Pours murky yellow with white head. Aroma has very gentle malts and turmeric (possible confirmation bias). Flavour has strained pale malts; turmeric is undetectable. If I thought of turmeric while drinking a good pale ale I would have a more enriching experience.
