473 ml can. Pours a pale hay color with little head. Light aromas of grain and cracker like malts. Nothing much to report regarding flavors. Light malts. Not offensive but nothing really there. Maybe a refreshing malt beverage when really cold.

On tap at Beacon. Pours clear brown with an off-white head. Faint toasted bread on the nose. Flavour has brown bread, crusts, light bitterness on the finish. Decent for what it is.

On tap at the brewery. Pours clear pale blonde with a white head. Fruity, grape-like nose. Flavour is dominated by the white wine grape character, almost like a wine gummy. Quite sweet for an IPA. Not as egregious as the pale ale, but something is going here, I don't think IPAs should be this sweet.

On tap at Beacon. Pours clear gold with a white head. Gentle pine and biscuit malts on the nose. Flavour has pine, sweetish grape gummies, and bitter, grassy hops. The malts are fine I think, but there is something very weird going on with that grape character. Kind of coats the palate the more you drink.

Appley, light malt, low bitterness, low hop expression. I guess making fake Lucky had better margins than just selling Lucky?

Opaque, medium head, quite pale. Tart, salty, light margarita character so it does what it says it will do.

Cloudy peach body and okay foam. Smells of great tart pineapple, fresh and juicy. Taste is good fresh pineapple juice, sweet with a slight tartness. Ends with nice lingering sugar. Enjoyable, easy, crowd pleasing fruit sour.

Okay dark brown body with some modest foam. Smells of nice sweet biscuit and molasses. Taste is nice malty biscuit, a bit of chocolate syrup, ends smooth with just the right amount of carbonation. A crowd pleasing stout and done well.

Weak clear gold body with minimal foam. Aroma is too soft grass and some cardboard. Taste is cereally, some corn, ends sweet and smooth. Not bad but very grain forward and a bit of hop presence wouldn't hurt (if done well).

Deep brown body and some okay foam. Smells of soft sour molasses, not bad. Taste is okay fruity malt, plum hints, ends smooth with lingering sweetness. Nothing spectacular but getting the job done.
