Can from Bine & Vine. Pours translucent gold with a white head. Citrus/melon aroma. Med body. Flavor is melon, citrus and very, very lightly roasty malt. Dry. Pretty hoppy without harshness. Bitter for sure. Good flavor.

3rd March 2019, on a Flight at the brewery. Smooth off-white head on a pale golden body. Hoppy little number and fairly dry in the mouth. Piney, woody and earthy hops; no citrusy or tropical fruit leanings. Liked it.

3rd March 2019, on a Flight at the brewery. Almost clear pour, golden/lemon in colour, fast fading white topping. Not too sour, some lemon aromas and flavours, refreshing and easy to drink. Nice, simple Berliner Weisse.

3rd March 2019, on a Flight at the brewery. Light golden/blonde body, lasting white crown. Decent blend of maltiness and hop bitterness, refreshing and thirst quenching (Eureka Hops, apparently).

On a Flight at the brewery on 3rd March 2019. Good copper look, white crown on top. Malty and fairly sweet from start to finish, not a lot of hop action going on. Aroma held some toffee like esters.

12 oz can from Tavour. Black, oily pour, no head to speak of. Aroma and taste are big, full coconut notes, soem chocolate. Right amount of sweetness and velvety smooth. I enjoyed the hell out of this.

Pour is a clear gold with a smallish white head. Aroma is a little oily hop and some sweet grain malt. Flavor is a little better with some grassy noble hop and the malt is not sweet at all but rather dry and crackery. This turned out to be a nice after work chugger.

12 oz can poured. Strange IPA here. A clean golden pour, a thin patchy fizz head. Aroma is the worst part for me, as it comes of as vegetal, and a raw pumpkin note. Flavor is a bit better, citrus and grassy hops. Orange fruit comes though. A miss here for me.

12 oz. can, pours a hazy copper golden with a small whtie head. Aroma is really unpleasant, with earthy hops, vegetal notes, and cardboard. Flavour is like raw squash, with a very vegetal character. Oh man, this is disgusting. Undrinkable.
