On tap at Heirloom, pours a fairly clear, somewhat hazy pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out a dull, earthy, herbal hop character — that's not all that pleasant. Flavour is not good: there's some low-level phenols that permeate this, with lots of burnt rubber that ruins this. All sorts of a problems here. Phenol city.

On tap at Heirloom, pours a somewhat muddy dark brown / near-black with a tiny head. Nose reveals gentle coffee and lactose upfront. Flavour reveals the cinnamon in a not-too-overpowering way, with cocoa, lactose and coffee. Smooth and balanced, with none of the adjuncts overpowering. Pleasant.

On tap at Heirloom, pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma is subtle on the dry hopping, with gentle floral notes and light grass. Flavour is clean, with a dry, subdued grassy and herbal hop character, light pepper, and biscuity malt. Clean and drinkable but not very interesting.

On tap at Heirloom, pours a clear blonde with a large white head. Aroma is clean, with straw and light floral notes. Flavour is clean and fairly dry, with straw and biscuity malt. It's a kolsch, so one can't expect much; it's clean and easy. Fine.

On tap at Heirloom, pours a pear muddy blueish brown (yep) with a small white head. Nose is all diacetyl — gross — whatever else is in here is ruined by the butter. Flavour is less offensive, but the diacetyl still penetrates through. There's a weird earthy floral character beneath it. Very messed up.

On tap at Heirloom, pours a clear pale yellow blonde with a medium white head. Aroma brings out crisp grassy hops and a dry biscuity malt base. Flavour is very dry, with a nice grassy hop character and very dry biscuity malt. Crisp, dry and very clean. This is very well-made.

Poured from 473mL can (abv listed as 2.9% on can; generously given to me by the rep at Masonry FHF). Lightly hazed gold with full white head. Agree that this should be reclassified for style away from a premium pale lager. Floral and earthy grain. Crisp and carbonated. There's a nice arugula like bitterness instilled by the dandelion, full mouthfeel. Enjoyable, especially at such a low abv.

Can Jam: pours gold with white head. Aroma is lemony, pleasant hoppiness. Taste is light bitterness, pleasant hops. Good.
