On tap at Off the Rail, pours a cloudy bronzey orange with a small off-white head. Nose brings out weird notes of diacetyl, herbal notes and some resinous hops buried in there somewhere. Flavour is similarly strange, bringing out notes of band-aid, earthy herbal hops, and some resin. The weird plasticy, band-aid notes ruin this, but it's not a total disaster. Not very good at all.

On tap at Off the Rail, pours a cloudy bronze orange with a small white head. Nose brings out a good mix of honey and ginger, like you'd expect. Flavour follows through unsurprisingly, with moderate honey sweetness, low to medium ginger and a lightly astringent finish. Nothing special but quite well done for what it is. Solid stuff.

Draft - Toast malts and some bready notes, dirty Amber brown with a beige head. Lots of toast and some malty sweetness and raisin. Not bad, but nothing like a cream ale I have had before.

Draft - Nice sweet ginger with a touch of honey. Clear gold with a rich beige head. Sweet honey and ginger with a long finish. Odd, but not bad, just odd. FYI no honey was added, just malts.

Draft - Light sweetness and bit of pesto bismol. Clear gold with a good white head. Light sweetness and a bit of that sweet vomit kinda notes. Odd and not at all IPA like.

On tap at Off the Rail, pours a clear yellow with a small white head. Nose brings spicy hops and biscuity notes. Flavour is dry and spicy, with spicy hops, some grassy notes and crisp biscuity malt to back. Not really authentic tasting though, as the dryness isn't overly crisp. Decent stuff, nothing special.

On tap at Off the Rail, pours an opaque cloudy vibrant orange with a small beige head. Nose brings oranges, some resinous hops and a big caramel malt backbone. Flavour brings out notes of orange rind, resins and way too much caramel malt. There also seems to be some sort of infection here - or maybe it's just a really bad IPA, I can't tell. A little medicinal and too malty. Not good.
