Dark brown, medium head. Has a lot of dark fruits, and a touch of toffee. I'd call this a foreign stout…Angkor Extra or FES are literally the closest beers I can think of to this. Little bit of alcohol late.

Hazy. Medium head. Has sort of a papaya-like colour. There's a fair bit of bitterness and grapefruity hop character. A bit peachy, a bit tropical. Sweet malt underneath. Lightish because it's APA size but it maintains a lot of IPA-level hop depth. One of their best beers.

Amber, slight haze. Not much head, though. Thinnish body. Some fusels, which doesn't surprise because they've got a pretty small kit here. But disappointing because they undermine the entire rest of the beer. Low bitterness. Too low for the style by far, so this one's a miss.

Poured from the tap. Slightly hazy copper brown with minimal white head. Mild sourness with a touch of toasted malt. A bit flat in terms of carbonation.

On tap at Barn Owl, pours a clear pale amber with a small pink head. Aroma brings out lots of fresh raspberries and soft wheaty notes. Flavour is soft and wheaty, with plenty of gentle raspberries upfront and a gentle pillowy wheat base. Fruity and wheaty. Solid. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Genesis Raspberry Wheat Ale on 30 May 2020 at 04:35 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7. Original review text: On tap at Barn Owl, pours a clear pinkish amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of raspberries to the forefront, with a soft wheaty base.

On tap at Barn Owl, pours a clear bright reddish pink with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out way too much yogurty character upfront, with some gentle jammy raspberries. Flavour is gently fruity, with sour raspberries, some rotting notes, vomit, and yogurty notes. This is really incompetent: the lacto is way too prominent, the fruit tastes rather rotting, and there is this vomit character throughout. Poor. Needs serious tweaking.

On tap at Barn Owl, pours a clear copper orange with a small off-white head. Aroma is laid back, with bready malt and light toasted caramel. Flavour is not all that well dialled in, with restrained English bready malt. There's little malt depth, no real hop character, and nothing else that stands out. Underwhelming and lacking character. Lame.

On tap at Barn Owl, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle citrus, a bit of salt and coriander. Flavour is salty and briny, with plenty of salt, coriander and citrus. Nothing all that special—the integration isn't great. It's alright.

On tap at Barn Owl, pours a hazy golden range with a small white head. Aroma reveals restrained citrusy passionfruit, with the orangey hops further in back. Flavour is fairly juicy, with a nice passionfruit character, followed by citrus hops. The passionfruit character is nice; I just don't think it goes all that well with the hops. As a passionfruit fan, I line this, but it's not a great beer.

Amber colour and bright. With a medium head. There's phenols from the yeast, maybe a touch of coriander. These flavours don't really go with the toasty, lightly caramelly base beer. Nothing's bad here, just a little disjointed.
