473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy dark amber with red hue and a small, foamy, short lived, off-white head that laces. Mild aroma of toasted bready malt, caramel and floral hops. Sweet flavour of toasted bready malt, caramel, nuts, red apple and spicy hops in a crisp, dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. A bit sweet, but tasty. Malt forward and crushable.

Chalky hop dust, suntan lotion and green onion--not a great mix. Pours hazy orange with pretty good head. Sourish kind of hop tang finish. Can.

Hazy golden colour with an orange hue, a big frothy-creamy white cap, good retention and a bunch of small streaks of lacing. Lemon-lime zest aromas with a touch of tropical fruits and tartiness. The taste has nice juiciness with the citrus and a tad berries. A juicy mouthfeel with a little dryness in the end. Giving me a feel of a Cold IPA, so not my fave IPA, but works well overall.

Last can, part of their Summer Beer League 6-pack for 2024. Pours a clean, very light yellow colour with a white cap, average stay and some decent sticky lacing. Mild malty nose with herbal notes. The mouthfeel is fresh with a drying end. Again, good flavours that are balanced with the light malt base and a tad hops. A pretty decent Light Lager that does what it should do - without being watery.

Part of their Summer Beer League 6-pack for 2024. Very lightly hazed, very light golden-yellow with a white frothy-creamy head, good retention and good thick, foamy lacing. Nice hoppiness over malts that gives apples, pears in the nose. The fruity malts continues as base in the taste with some the hops that kick it a notch, with stronger dryness and even bitterness. A nice blonde ale with a beautiful head and some good hoppiness.

Part of their Summer Beer League 6-pack for 2024. Clean, light-golden colour with a big frothy head, good retention and loads of foamy lacing. Cereal grain aromas as base with some decent hoppiness. The hops continue in the taste, with a nice drying finish over the grains. Not a bad Pale Ale, but lacking a little punch in the nose.

Part of their Summer Beer League 6-pack for 2024. Clean, light golden colour with a big frothy-creamy white head, good retention and nice sticky-creamy lace. Mild cereal malt aromas with a tad hops giving herbal notes. Refreshing mouthfeel with a just a little drying in the end. The hops seems a touch stronger in the taste than the grains. Still, milder which fits the style. A decent Kölsch that goes down nicely, but wish the cereal notes were a little punchier in the flavours.
