Poured from 473mL can. Clear copper with light beige head. Bready malt, dry finish. Taste is better than aroma, but just very average overall.

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.

Poured from 473mL can. Hazy gold with white head. Mild dank hops, citrus, prefer it on tap, but still decent. Sept 30, 2020 (7/3/7/3/14=3.4): Poured from the tap. Slightly hazy gold with white head. Juicy citrus hops, quite good.

Poured from the tap. Clear gold with white head. Grain and very light Belgian yeast with mild floral hops. Dry and a bit boring.

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?
Deanf (9781) reviewed Weissbier from Gladstone Brewing 6 years ago
Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 5
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.
Deanf (9781) reviewed Miniature Ship from Gladstone Brewing 6 years ago
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.
