Amber. Touch hazy. Touch of grapefruit on the nose, light malts, in the end it’s a bit soupy, not a lot to offer...bit thin.

Blonde. Touch of fruit, weird acidity. Harsh. Tastes like they took a really light bland, poorly-fermented beer and dumped food grade citric acid into it. Seriously.

Brown pig mud appearance. Vaguely coffeeish nose. Touch of coffee but I actually don’t know what to make of these other flavours. They’re all wrong. But you knew that just from looking at the beer - if it comes out looking like that, the fermentation went sideways and you’ll need to dump the batch.

Muddy light brown. Not much head. Sort of vaguely sweet cocoa, thin. Not great. Nothing going on. I have no idea what they’re trying to accomplish here.

Straw, thin head. Sort of a light straw nose. Husky, astringent. Oversparged. Blah.

Golden, thin head. Smells like American cheese slice. Tastes like American cheese slice. What the fuck?

Slight haze, medium head, dull gold. Cleaner than the last time I had it. That’s just professionalism. Beer isn’t bad…on the sweetish side with herbaceous hop. But you have to give it a chance.

Amber, this head. Sweet, quite caramelly, not much nuance and just no bitterness.

On tap at Ridge, pours an opaque filthy diarrhea brown with a small off-white head -- looks revolting. Aroma brings out harsh cleaner notes, like a chemical pesticide, some marmite and English malts. Flavour is absolutely revolting, with dirty yeasty notes, chemical cleaner notes, and pesticides. Shameful to sell something this infected and off. What a poor joke.

On tap at Ridge, pours a cloudy amber golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out citric grapefruit character and some peppery notes. Flavour brings out sweet grapefruit pithy juice, with light citric hops underneath. Rather sweet and very pithy. Unusual, what with the sweetness and pith. Inoffensive, but that's the best I can say about it.
