Clean, slightly lighter golden colour with a frothy white cap, average retention and some mild foamy lacing sliding down the glass. Blood orange is what is felt in the nose, fresh over the wheat (bubble gum) and grassy hops that come out when the glass is swirled. The blood orange is lighter in the taste, but still some good citrus notes over the cereal grain base. Hints of bananas and its tartiness lingering. Gets a touch hazy at last pour. Not a bad wheat ale with the blood orange taking over, and making this more refreshing than wheat alone.

Unfiltered, a little hazy, with tiny, transparent particles floating around. The head is frothy-fizzy, white-orangy, mild stay and minimal lace which fits the style. The grapefruit concentrates are blended with some honey notes, mild grassiness, orange juice and even caramel malts, diacetyl. The taste shows a little more of the citrus with a touch of sourness. With time, it seems more like mango juice than grapefruit purée. The mouthfeel is refreshing, but a tad thick for a radler. Thankfully, the finish is drying. Alright for a Radler, but not as citrusy-juicy as expected. Maybe a bit better if had fresh.

Can from the Winter mixer pack. Clear very dark mahogany with a large frothy dark khaki head that leaves some sparse lace. Nose has some molasses, ginger bread and dark roast. Flavour is much closer to a cola than ginger bread. Medium- cola syrup sweetness with a a light+ roasted coffee bitterness. Mouth is quite thin with soft carbonation. 7-/4/5/2+/11

Can: Poured an amber color lager with a medium size foamy head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of caramelized malt notes with some citrus and resinous hops notes. Taste is a mix of sweet caramelized hops notes with some light citrus/resinous hops notes. Body is light with good carbonation. Standard hoppy amber ale. Refreshing but nothing to write home about.

Lightly unfiltered starting clean with lots of tiny transparent particles floating around. Becomes a tad hazy at last pour. A bright, light-golden colour with a big white frothy head, long lasting and leaving thicker foamy lacing. Cereal aromas with some herbal notes. The cereals continue in the taste with a light dry finish. Some apples, mild herbs linger. Quite a nice light lager that is crisp, refreshing and full of real ingredients.

Very lightly hazed by very tiny particles, golden colour with a big nitro-creamy off-white head, very long lasting with some nice creamy lacing. Rich, sweet nose with chocolate-vanilla and a touch of coffee. Smooth, lightly oily mouthfeel with a tad building dryness. The flavours are sweet, but not as rich as the nose. A nice mocha taste with the coffee and chocolate, with the herbal hops blending things. A decent, very smooth nitro mocha brew.

This stout poured a cloudy, medium yellow colour with a creamy, bright white head. Nice lacing. Scents include vanilla, chocolate, marshmallows, icing sugar and light coffee in the background. First swig was smooth, creamy and sweeter. Thicker mouthfeel with flavours of cocoa, marshmallow and coffee. Finish is creamy with mocha flavours lingering forever.
