On tap at Town Square, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma is full of lactose, light oranges, and a bit of citrus hops. Flavour is quite sweet, with lots of lactose, orange creamsicle, and subdued citrus hops. Not a fan of the combo here. Way too sweet and artificial. Not good.

On tap at Town Square, pours a deep dark amber brown with a small beige head. Aroma is full of earthy coffee upfront, with little else to speak of. Flavour is more muted, with dusty earthy coffee and crusty bread. Pleasant enough, but it doesn't feel optimally dialled in. Not a fan of the coffee expression here.
