On tap at 12 Kings, pours a cloudy bright dark reddish pink with a medium pink head. Aroma brings out lots of tart currants upfront, with plenty of lacto. Flavour is fairly one-dimensional, with lots of sour currant and lacto. Very tart and fruity, but lacking depth. It's okay.

Cloudy gold, stark white head.Light espresso nose. Palate of coffee and light chocolate… definitely NOT a stout

Okay black body, minimal head. Nice sweet barley on the nose. Flavour is sweet barley with roasted coffee hints. Mouthfeel yields some crispness but still wet overall. Missing the salt and overall and all a little bit middling.

Nice darker brown clear copper body and just a little foam. Very soft aroma of particle board. Flavour is weak cereal with a hint of malt. Very watery though. This needs work.

On tap at the brewery. Okay cloudy orange body with minimal head, big juicy pineapple hops on the nose. Flavour is soft sharp hops with minimal malt character. Dry finish. Okay but a little thin.

Reddish brown body with minimal head. That could be vanilla and cardamom on the nose but it really comes across more like floor cleaner, or oversugared rosewater or a cheap perfume from the Thrifty Foods down the way. Flavour is muddy sugar water with plenty of vanilla, kind of like a really oversweetened oatmeal. Big full sweet mouthfeel. So I postulate that this would go great as part of a hangover breakfast.

On tap. Nice yellow gold body with modest foam. Soft funky coffee with dried grain notes. Flavour is more coffee with crisp wheat notes. Dry finish. Very nice, unique even, and even more surprising it seems to work.

Okay medium copper and a bit of foam. Soft grain aroma. Flavour is bright grains with soft citrus hints. Nice crisp finish. Quite a good lager, definitely one of the better local ones.
