Pours a murky orange with modest foam. Sharp sweet hops on the nose, some apricot, slight floor cleaner. Flavour is muddy hops, rancid apricot, dirty water squeezed from an old dish rag. Okay carbonation. Not wild, more like putrid.

Pours with modest foam, strong carbonation, cloudy yellow body. The aroma is slightly acidic and citrusy, maybe vague lager grain notes but everything is very soft. Flavour is all yeast, slight bitter acidic grain. Carbonation helps to keep it lighter than it is. There isn't much here in fact - I find it drinkable but mostly inoffensive, slightly rough around the edges, and hardly memorable.

Tasting at Matt's
Hazy blond colour. Putrid beer, the only descriptor I can think about is mushroom. Disgusting.

The aroma is chewy strawberry, slightly fake, still a bit of citrus in there tells me maybe it's just a bucket of underripe strawberries. Has okay medium cloudy orange body and very soft foam. Flavour is reasonably bright strawberry, some cinnamon, basil slicing through in a subtle way. Mouthfeel is a little too thin but there's still some soft citrus coming forward. This is drinkable, could use a little more finesse in every department to make it more interesting.

Smells of soft wet bath cloth with some modest grain, has okay gold body with average foam. Flavour is soft citrus and full grain, mouthfeel is full with nice carbonation. Still a little amateur and too unclean for a blonde, but hell, I'll drink it.

Soft malty sourness on the nose, has soft copper body with little foam. Flavour is soft malty sour character, faint nods to a Flanders red, vague wood bleeding through. Mouthfeel is full and there's good carbonation along with some soft wood dryness. Not bad at all, some things are working very well here.

Soft gold body with mellow foam, has great yeast character on the nose with spicy cereal, a surprising standout. Flavour is great yeast character with soft grain. Mouthfeel is full, a little watery, could be more crisp. There are some good things going on here.

Very nice fresh apricot on the nose, can't detect the wheat. Has cloudy yellow body with minimal foam. Flavour is nice apricot, well done here, nothing else coming through though. The mouthfeel is a little thin and the carbonation doesn't play out but the tannins are there. Still a nice summer sipper.

Good floral wheat dough on the nose, has murky yellow body with little foam. Flavour is not bad bubblegum character, some vague citrus. Everything about it is a little cloying though. This is nothing too exciting but should get the job done.
