473mL can, pours a clear copper with a small beige head. Aroma is unpleasant, with a garbage-like herbal and rotting cabbage character. Flavour is a little better, with dry bready malt and nonexistent hops. Dry and bready. Drinkable, but nothing special.

4.5
Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 4

Smells of soft lagery malts but without the hop sweetness, has okay foggyish gold and modest foam. Flavour is weak malts, lagery, sweet hops, sugar. Mouthfeel is watery and sweet. It's so very boring, why bother making this?

Has good banana and wheat dough on the nose, okay foggish yellow body and modest foam. Flavour is okay banana and dough. Mouthfeel is a little too thin. It's average at best.

5.5
Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6

Smells of overly sweet chewy hops, has middling orange body and modest foam. Flavour is sweet vegetal hops, lots of resin in there. Mouthfeel is full and oily, nice for a session IPA. It's not bad for the style though seems a little cloying.
