On tap at Off Color - The Mousetrap, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out light lime, salt, and a touch of lacto. Flavour is full of citrus, lactic acid, gentle salt, and a subtle tequila character. Citrusy, lactic and coriander in the finish. Well-balanced and well-constructed. Very good.

16oz can. Not wild about the aroma, but the flavor is fantastic. Crackery, clean malt tones. Smooth sweetness. Awesome lagering. Really good beer.

250ml bottle. Awesome real blackberry tone, but overall this one is a little eaten up, displaying some of those undesirable qualities or over aging, oversouring ect at first at least...but grew on me pretty quick, just a better executed product than most of its peers. A little winey. Not my favorite, but still pretty good.

16oz can. Light to medium bodied, a little thin. Not unlike a Zwickel, but a little more depth, wheat tone ect. Ends up sort of like a Weizen. OK.

16oz can. Another awesome beer from Off Color. Perfect body Vienna, and then the natural maple syrup tone. Normally I wouldn't be hyped about a maple syrup addition in anything, but you know Off Color does it natural and right, none of that cheap flavoring style action. I want to drink 6 of these. Excellent beer.

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a pillowy white head. Aroma is I guess deangonfruit, coriander and a bit of tartness. Flavor is dragonfruit and bit of tartness from the blood orange and some coriander to make sure this is a wit. I quite enjoyed this. This took and average wit and spruced it up with flavorful adjuncts.
