3.4/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 2 Texture 1 Overall 3
On tap at Off the Rail, pours a hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is full of yogurty lacto upfront, stone fruit melange, passionfruit, and citrus. Flavour is egregious, with a vomit-infused stone and citrus fruit melange, along with lacto. Damn, this is impressively terrible. How can this be sold?

3.8/10 Appearance 7 Aroma 4 Flavor 3 Texture 3 Overall 3
On tap at Off the Rail, pours a near-black with a small tan head—well, it looks good. Aroma has a strange herbal, spicy, slightly roasty character. Flavour is very odd, with some roast, sourness that can’t be intended, and stale grass. Now what the hell were they trying to do here?

4.5/10 Appearance 7 Aroma 4 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 4.5
On tap at Off the Rail, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma is basically neutral, with light straw, some grains. Flavour has some herbal, fungal notes, some straw, mineraly notes. Not authentically kolsch-like at all. Not good.

4.4/10 Appearance 5 Aroma 5 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 4
On tap at Off the Rail, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has soft English bready malt, a hint of toffee, and very gentle hops. Flavour is muddled, with a fungal character dominating, barely any malt expression, even less hop expression. 10 years and running, and this brewery hasn’t even figured out how to brew a core beer of theirs competently. Very bad.

On tap at Off the Rail. Pours nearly black with a beige head. Very generic roast with some reeds on the nose. Tastes like grass that's been sucked dry of flavour. Generic and off-putting at the same time. I have no idea what the goal was here.

On tap at Off the Rail. Pours clear dark gold with a white head. Light, gym sock and citrus nose. Flavour has gym socks, orange peels, bitter pine. Tastes like it was fermented in a locker room.

On tap at Off the Rail. Pours murky yellow with a white head. Lots of pineapple juice and some mango on the nose. Flavour has very little hop character, tastes more like cheap pineapple juice with other tropical fruits floating around. Minimal carbonation and low bitterness. Beer for people who don't like beer.
