On tap at Loyal Legion, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma has chalky notes, icing sugars, and bready malt. Flavour is a bit muffled and chaotic, with bready malt, icing sugar, and chaotic, alcoholic, perfumey notes. Messy and uncoordinated.

Bought from a winery we stopped at. Not sure why? Flat looking dirty blonde and smaller head. Nose is melon and some citrus. Tastes of white grape, honey dew, pineapple, some lime, malt, floral. Muddled palate.
